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.

Solutions Engineer, Energy Storage

As a Solutions Engineer you will serve as a technical voice with Redwood’s energy storage customers . This role bridges commercial and engineering: the Solutions Engineer represents Redwood’s technical capabilities directly in customer conversations.

• Partner with engineering teams to surface customer feedback, flag capability gaps, and inform the development roadmap based on field learnings and evolving customer needs.
• Enable the commercial team to operate independently on technical matters, reducing reliance on core engineering for routine customer questions and design decisions as Redwood scales.
