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.

Essential Duties:

The Backend Engineering Intern supports the RAD team by contributing to internal tooling, engineering infrastructure, and operational improvements for software systems that power Redwood Materials' manufacturing operations. The intern will work on dashboards, CI/CD automation, bug fixes, and other engineering tasks that support the team's core platform work. This is a hands-on role with mentorship from senior engineers, providing real experience with production systems in an industrial environment. This is a Summer 2026 position.

Responsibilities Will Include:

Build and improve internal dashboards and visibility tooling for engineering and operations
Improve CI/CD pipelines — fix flaky tests, reduce build times, add missing automation
Write backend code in Python (FastAPI) for bug fixes, small features, and internal tools
Troubleshoot on-site hardware and software issues (iPads, kiosks, connected devices)
Participate in code reviews, team standups, and engineering discussions
Document undocumented systems and capture tribal knowledge
Use AI coding tools to accelerate your own learning and reduce ramp-up time

Desired Qualifications:

Currently pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
Preference for candidates with a background in mechanical and physical sciences to support work at the hardware–software interface
