Job description

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.

This role supports daily production operations by moving materials, assembling components, and preparing finished goods for shipment. You’ll work on a continuously running production line, using equipment and systems to keep materials flowing safely and efficiently while meeting quality and output goals.

Shift:

Full-time, Monday–Friday (initial schedule). This role will transition to a multi-shift operation (including nights and weekends) as production ramps. Flexibility to support different shifts is required.

Responsibilities will include:

• Operate and train on production and powered industrial equipment, including forklifts.
• Pick, stage, and load materials and inventory to support production flow.
• Maintain accurate data and system transactions within manufacturing systems.
• Execute production processes to improve efficiency and minimize downtime.
• Operate safely at all times, following proper use of production and material-handling equipment.
• Collaborate with team members and cross-functional partners to keep production running smoothly.
• Follow all company policies related to safety, quality, attendance, and workplace conduct.
• Work in an electrostatic discharge (ESD) controlled environment.

Desired Qualifications:

• 1+ years of experience in a manufacturing, production, or warehouse environment.
• Experience in electronic assembly and/or troubleshooting preferred.
• Strong critical thinking and time management skills.
• Ability to follow detailed work instructions and standard operating procedures.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment with changing priorities.
• Experience using scanners, label printers, and other IT/OT equipment.
• Strong hazard recognition and commitment to safe work practices.
• Passion for sustainability and making the world a better place!

Physical Requirements:

• Stand for extended periods (more than 80% of the shift)
• Stoop, bend, push, pull and perform repetitive physical tasks
• Operate and train on equipment such as forklifts, boom lifts, scissor lifts, and other specialized machinery
• Occasionally lift and carry up to 50 lbs

Working Conditions:

• Exposure to loud noise, dust, chemicals, and varying temperatures, including heat and cold
• May be required to work nights, weekends, or holidays based on operational needs

The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
