Job Description

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 2019, 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.

Mechanical Engineering Lead, New Products 

You will be an early member of a new engineering team, taking a hands-on role in the design, development, and integration of a new product at Redwood. This position starts as a senior individual contributor, where you'll be responsible for designing critical mechanical components and systems related to batteries, including thermal management, harnessing, enclosures and structures, while also collaborating closely with electrical, software, and systems engineering teams. As the product builds momentum, you will be instrumental in building and leading a mechanical engineering team, setting the foundation for scaling our product. 

The ideal candidate is highly self-driven, adaptable to a startup environment, and eager to take on both technical and leadership challenges. If you're excited about working in a dynamic, fast-paced setting and helping to shape the mechanical engineering function within a new department at Redwood, we want to hear from you! 

If necessary, the job level will be adjusted to suit the applicant’s experience and responsibilities. 

 

Responsibilities will include: 

 

  • Lead and execute the mechanical design and development of a large-scale renewable energy solution from concept to deployment, including thermal management, authoring requirements, structural design, packaging/integration of power electronics, and integration with grid infrastructure. 
  • Act as the primary mechanical engineering expert, driving innovation and solving technical challenges at a large scale.
