About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials is pioneering a sustainable battery supply chain that integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling, enabling the circulation of critical minerals and facilitating the energy transition. Established in 2017, we are proud to offer low-cost, large-scale energy storage solutions and produce battery materials within the U. S. for the first time, utilizing batteries that are already in circulation.
Modeling and Architecture Engineer, Energy Storage
As the technical lead of the Energy Storage Modeling and Architecture team, you will play a critical role in the design, development, and integration of Redwood Energy’s innovative second-life battery product. You will serve as the subject matter expert in creating a multiphysics and technoeconomic modeling platform that informs the system design of this cutting-edge battery energy storage solution. These models must be robust enough to accurately size future projects while remaining agile enough to facilitate a wide range of design decisions.
Additionally, you will be tasked with operationalizing these insights into an algorithm that optimally manages the use of each battery pack on our premises, maximizing the value extracted before recycling. This model will dictate operational parameters, including state of charge (SOC) windows and charge/discharge powers, along with decisions regarding when to replace a pack and what to use as a replacement.
The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, adaptable to a startup culture, and enthusiastic about tackling novel technical challenges. You should possess experience in leading modeling teams within the battery energy storage or electric vehicle sectors while being a first-principles thinker capable of initiating new modeling projects independently.
