Software Engineer, ML/Computer Vision (Battery Sorting)

The Battery Sorting team at Redwood Materials is building a world-class, ML-enabled sorting platform that uses computer vision and machine learning to classify and route thousands of end-of-life batteries per hour across diverse chemistries and form factors. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning, with direct ownership of the production systems powering automated battery sorting on the factory floor. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable debugging a production incident as iterating on a model, and will have the opportunity to generate patents in automated battery classification. This is a high-impact, highly visible role with immediate real-world application in advancing the energy transition.
