Software Engineer, Energy Storage – Site Controller

Software Engineer, Energy Storage – Site Controller

We are at the precipice of a global energy transition. At Redwood Materials, we are moving beyond battery recycling to build the most advanced, circular energy ecosystem on the planet. Our goal is to move the industry away from static, hardware-heavy infrastructure toward agile, software-controlled energy assets.

The Site Controller is the "Central Nervous System" of our modular Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). It is the platform that allows us to harmonize new and repurposed batteries into a single, high-performance energy asset. We are looking for engineers to build the digital backbone that finally makes renewable energy baseload-ready and turns the grid into a truly digital, responsive network.

As a Site Controller Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the high-level orchestration of our grid-scale storage sites. Operating at the "System Coordination" layer, you will design and implement the mission-critical logic that dictates how GWh-scale sites interact with the utility, industrial assets, and the Redwood Cloud. You will build the scalable, resilient software platform that makes our proprietary "Pack Manager" technology possible.

Responsibilities will include:

• Distributed System Architecture: Design and implement a scalable, resilient software architecture for the Site Controller, ensuring it can coordinate thousands of distributed microcontrollers with zero downtime.
• Tiered Control Logic: Lead the development of multi-rate control systems, balancing high-level site coordination with real-time grid execution. You will collaborate with simulation and controls teams to optimize state-of-charge and battery longevity at the site coordination layer, while leading the integration of high-speed closed-loop controls to ensure sub-cycle grid synchronization and precise command execution.
• System Resilience & Fault Handling:
