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
At Redwood Materials, we are moving beyond battery recycling to build the most advanced, circular energy ecosystem on the planet—shifting the industry from static, hardware-heavy infrastructure toward agile, software-defined energy assets. The Software Test and Validation organization is the ultimate gatekeeper of quality, reliability, and operational readiness across our entire hardware and software portfolio. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience validating grid-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), utility-interactive inverters, or mixed-chemistry/second-life EV battery installations against UL 1741, UL 1973, and IEEE 1547 standards
- Track record of designing custom automated fault-injection hardware and custom breakout PCB interfaces for multi-rack HIL testbeds

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.
