About Redwood Materials

Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.

Position Summary: 

The Senior Service Engineer, Energy Storage resolves complex technical issues across deployed battery energy storage systems (BESS).

  • Translates field and operations and maintenance feedback into actionable requirements for product, systems, and research and development engineering teams 
  • Drives improvements in system serviceability, reliability, and maintainability in collaboration with design, manufacturing, and quality engineering 
  • Owns advanced service documentation, including troubleshooting guides, decision trees, and service bulletins 
  • Develops technical training materials and supports operations and maintenance team upskilling on new systems, upgrades, and known issues

  • Working knowledge of BESS architecture, including batteries, inverters and power conversion, energy management, thermal management, and protection systems 
  • Experience working within a tiered support model between field operations, service engineering, and product engineering 
  • Ability to travel up to 25% of the time
