$425,500 USD

You will be an early member of a new engineering team, responsible for driving the electrical design, development, and integration of a new high-power electromechanical product line at Redwood. In this role, you will immediately lead a small team of engineers, guiding them through complex systems integration, test engineering, and power electronics design challenges and ensuring successful project execution. You will collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering teams. As the product builds momentum, you will build and lead the electrical engineering team across high power (10-100+kW) and low-power electronics, setting the foundation for scaling our product into high volume manufacturing.

The ideal candidate is highly self-driven, adaptable to a startup environment, and eager to take on both technical and leadership challenges. You’re a leader and a doer, excited about working in a dynamic, fast-paced setting, and want to shape the electrical engineering function within a new department at Redwood.

If necessary, we will adjust the job level to suit your experience and responsibilities.

Responsibilities will include:

Lead and execute the electrical system design and development of a high-volume, high-power energy conversion product from concept to deployment, including electrical architecture, requirements authoring, system integration, signal-level electronics design, power electronics design, and integration with grid infrastructure.

Design power conversion products, supervisory control modules and balance of system components, working closely with suppliers and vendors to ensure cost-effective, high-quality solutions

Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling
