Software Engineer, Energy Storage
About The Position
You will be an early member of the Redwood Energy engineering team, taking a hands-on role in the design, development, and integration of second-life battery-based energy storage systems. This position focuses on developing robust and reliable system software for the Site Controller that serves as the central nervous system for the product. The role involves designing and implementing containerized services for networked device management, site level controls orchestration, time series data management, and system diagnostics. 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.
