Engineering Test Technician, Energy Storage

As an early member of a new engineering technician team, you will play a key role in building, setting up, and running tests to support the development of a new product at Redwood Materials. You’ll work hands-on across mechanical, electrical, and basic software tools to help validate product performance and reliability. You will support all phases of the hardware development lifecycle from early design validation and long-term reliability testing to final process validation by assembling test setups, operating equipment safely, capturing data, and troubleshooting issues as they arise. This role requires a proactive, can-do attitude with careful attention to detail and a strong safety mindset.
