About Redwood Materials

Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.

Field Quality Engineer, Energy Storage

Redwood Materials is currently searching for a Field Quality Engineer to join as an early member of a new engineering team working on our Battery Energy Storage System product line. You will be responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and safety of deployed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assets by identifying, investigating, and preventing field issues. This role works closely with Operations & Maintenance (O&M) teams that perform routine monitoring and maintenance, and with Service Engineering, which owns advanced technical escalation.

The Field Quality Engineer serves as the frontline quality owner in the field, focusing on identifying systemic quality issues, conducting structured investigations, and driving corrective and preventive actions. This role plays a critical part in reducing repeat failures, improving fleet reliability, and feeding real world learnings back into engineering, suppliers, and operational processes. You’re a doer, excited about getting your hands dirty and working in a dynamic, fast-paced setting, and want to shape a new department at Redwood.

Responsibilities will include:

Serve as the primary point of contact for field identified quality issues across operating BESS assets
Lead structured investigations into recurring failures, abnormal trends, or field incidents in collaboration with O&M and Service Engineering
Perform root cause analyses using established methodologies (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone, fault tree analysis)
Develop and document clear problem statements supported by data, field evidence, and technical observations
Define, track, and verify corrective and preventive actions to address field quality issues
Verify effectiveness of corrective actions through follow-up inspections, audits, and data analysis
