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.
Software 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.
This role is based in Reno, NV and is a fully onsite role.
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.
