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 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.
Systems Design Engineer, Factory Systems Modeling
We are seeking a Systems Design Engineer to develop models for our battery refining and materials production processes. You'll apply first-principles modeling in custom software to create plant-scale models that maximize efficiency, detect equipment failures, and power soft sensors. The goal: design the world's most optimal factories through cross-functional collaboration with stakeholders and design teams.
Responsibilities
• Implement complex system models integrating mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control theories in custom software
• Design and implement control algorithms that optimize plant operations
• Own and maintain controls-plant model software in the loop tests
• Navigate cross-functional engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions
• Integrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies
• Optimize plant efficiency through modeling support
• Apply knowledge of motors, pumps, sensors, actuators, and thermodynamic systems to accurately model plant behavior
• Design high-level control strategies informed by simulation and data analytics
Requirements
• M.S. in Mechanical/Chemical/Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience
• 2+ years in Systems Design Engineering and first-principles modeling, preferably with multi-physics simulations
• Proficiency in Python and/or simulation software with functional software engineering skills
• Strong grasp of mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamic fundamentals
• Self-motivated, hands-on attitude with willingness to contribute at all levels
• Passion for sustainability and making the world better
The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
