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
Redwood Materials is deploying large-scale battery energy storage systems that power data centers and the grid, including North America's largest microgrid (63 MWh) for Crusoe, a stationary storage partnership with GM using new and second-life EV batteries, and a new deployment at Rivian's Normal, Illinois manufacturing plant. This role is an early member of a new engineering team building that project delivery capability from the ground up.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, preferably Civil or Electrical, or equivalent experience demonstrating exceptional ability in these fields
- Deep experience with concept development, design, and construction of utility-scale solar PV systems, Staff level reflects a broader track record of leading PV scope across multiple projects
- Proficiency with industry-standard solar design software (PVcase) for single line diagrams, layouts, and performance modeling
- Working knowledge of solar-plus-storage system architectures
- Familiarity with relevant codes and standards, including NEC (NFPA 70), IEEE, UL 1703/UL 3703, and utility interconnection requirements
- Experience coordinating with internal and external EPCs, racking and module vendors, and engineering consultants through design and construction

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.
