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 2019, 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.
You will be an early member of a new engineering team, taking a hands‑on role in the design, development, and integration of a new product at Redwood. This position focuses on developing robust and reliable firmware from scratch for ARM Cortex‑M class microcontrollers to function within large‑scale, distributed industrial applications. You will work on communication with and control of various off‑the‑shelf devices as well as control algorithms for power electronics.
The ideal candidate is highly self‑driven, adaptable to a startup environment, and eager to take on novel technical challenges. If you’re excited about working in a dynamic, fast‑paced setting within a new department at Redwood, we want to hear from you!
If necessary, the job level will be adjusted to suit the applicant’s experience and responsibilities.
Responsibilities
Help build a new embedded firmware platform from scratch with a focus on robust and performant network communication
Design and implement frameworks to support simulation and SIL/HIL integration testing
Design and deploy state estimation and power electronics control algorithms optimized for a resource‑constrained environment
Collaborate with electrical and systems engineers closely to specify and implement system behaviors and diagnostics coverage
Contribute to a collaborative, fast‑paced startup culture, where every team member plays a crucial role in achieving company milestones
Desired Qualifications
BS or MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science
7+ years of experience in firmware engineering, with a strong focus in batteries, renewable energy systems, or similar large‑scale projects
Proven track record in shipping new products at scale
Excellent proficiency in Rust or C and debugging embedded systems
Experience with digital protocols such as SPI, CAN, and Ethernet as well as application layer protocols such as CoAP or MQTT
Expert knowledge of microcontroller hardware peripherals and RTOS
Experience with CI/CD & test automation applied to software‑enabled hardware products. Proficiency in Python is good to have
Good to have experience with reverse engineering CAN protocols and developing custom diagnostic tools for evaluating embedded systems
Self‑motivated, with the ability to manage your work in a startup environment, balancing multiple priorities and deadlines
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with ability to build relationships with all levels of the organization and present to internal and external executives
In accordance with California pay transparency laws, the salary range for this position is listed below. Actual compensation may vary based on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and skills.
