Staff Chemical Engineer

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 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.

Redwood Materials is seeking a Staff Chemical Engineer to lead the design and commissioning of first-of-a-kind recycling plants and brownfield retrofit projects. In this high-impact role, you will take ownership of new plant design from initial concept through detailed engineering and hands-on commissioning. You will also lead brownfield initiatives—from scoping and financial justification to lab-scale trials and full deployment. Collaborating closely with operations, controls, and software teams, your work will directly shape how Redwood scales its next generation of battery recycling technologies.

• Design first-of-a-kind recycling plants for battery waste materials, leading projects from concept through commissioning.

• Own and drive brownfield plant retrofits and process improvement projects from initial scoping through full implementation.

• Perform cost analyses, design trade studies, and process modeling to guide equipment sizing, predict plant performance, and maximize profitability.

• Create Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and detailed equipment specification sheets.

• Plan and execute critical testwork, lab-scale trials, and plant trials to validate and define process designs.
