Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Engineer, Energy Storage

Redwood Materials is seeking a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Engineer to join their Energy Storage team. As an early member of the Redwood Energy engineering team, you'll take a hands-on role in the design, development, and integration of second-life battery-based energy storage systems. This position will be the first engineer on the Hardware-in-the-Loop team, responsible for developing the hardware and software architecture that ensures quick development and release of hardware and software while meeting critical safety and performance requirements.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable working across both hardware and software domains, with coding experience and familiarity with schematics and oscilloscope usage. While extensive HIL setup experience is valuable, the company is also open to early career engineers with strong first-principle understanding and motivation to tackle novel technical challenges.

The role involves establishing scalable frameworks, tools, and processes for rapid validation of power electronics and battery management system controllers. You'll work closely with Software, Electrical, and System engineers to design and implement controller validation test systems. The position requires a blend of technical expertise in hardware-software integration, automation, and control systems, along with strong collaborative skills to work effectively in a fast-paced startup environment.

Working at Redwood Materials offers the opportunity to contribute to sustainable energy storage solutions, working with second-life batteries and advancing the company's mission of localizing the global battery supply chain. The position includes competitive compensation ($160,000 - $200,000) and the chance to make a significant impact in a growing field.
