Redwood Materials is building the U.S. stockpile of critical materials and deploying large-scale energy storage systems that power data centers and the nation’s grid.
About the role
Designing & building infrastructure, at record speed, is key to enabling us to scale worldwide. We are looking for a highly motivated BESS Design Manager to join our Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) team. In this role, you will be asked to own and drive the full design and engineering efforts for construction and infrastructure development from concept to production. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in engineering, construction, manufacturing, and/or project management.
What they're looking for
- Deep understanding of grid-scale energy storage technologies and balance-of-plant equipment (e.g. inverters, transformers, switchgear, HVAC, fire suppression)
- Strong working knowledge of electrical system design, interconnection requirements, and utility-scale project execution
- Knowledge of battery systems, electrical protection, power conversion, medium and high voltage systems, communication systems and control systems
- Familiarity with relevant standards and codes (UL 9540/1973/1741, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, IEC)
- B.S. in Engineering, preferably Electrical Engineering. Alternatively, demonstrate exceptional ability in the electrical engineering field through equivalent experience
- PE or RA License preferred

About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
