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 will include:
* 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
Qualifications:
* 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
* Experience with complex system design
* 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.
