Manufacturing Engineer, Energy Storage
About The Position
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. We are looking for a highly capable and hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to drive the development, optimization, and scaling of production lines for a complex high-voltage system. This system includes high-power electronics, thermal components, and electromechanical integration. You'll work closely with test engineering and product design teams to scale cost-effective, high-yield processes both in-house and at CMs.
Requirements
- B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related)
- 5 - 10 years of experience in production support or NPI for high-power electronics or electro-mechanical assemblies
- Strong technical knowledge of SMT, reflow, box build, mechanical assembly, and HV safety processes
- Ability to write and maintain SOPs, work instructions, and training document
- Experience working with CMs on high-volume production environments
- Familiarity with MES systems, Python/SQL for data extraction, or Lean Six Sigma certification
- Ability to perform the essential job functions consistent safely and successfully with the ADA, FMLA and other federal, state and local standards, including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity standards
- Ability to maintain regular, punctual attendance consistent with the ADA, FMLA and other federal, state, and local standards
- Environment, such as office or outdoors

- Occasional work weekends, nights, or be on-call as a regular part of the job
- Occasional travel requirements
Responsibilities
- Design and bring up new in-house assembly lines for NPI & volume production builds, including leading equipment validation, process documentation, and line readiness reviews
- Establish takt-time targets and optimize line balance to meet efficiency & throughput goals
- Troubleshoot issues on the line and drive corrective actions for yield, first-pass success rate, and build quality
- Own DFM and DFT efforts, providing clear, actionable feedback to engineering
- Collaborate with quality and test engineering to ensure process stability, traceability, and defect containment
- Analyze production data and develop dashboards to identify trends, bottlenecks, and cost-reduction opportunities
