System Modeling Engineer, Energy Storage
System Modeling Engineer, Energy Storage About Redwood Materials
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.Overview System Modeling Engineer, Energy Storage. This role focuses on developing a Multiphysics modeling platform to drive the system design of a novel energy storage system. Models must be robust for multiple users and agile to support a diverse array of design decisions.
Contribute to Redwood Material’s in-house performance and technoeconomic model.
Drive architectural studies to explore the cost and performance design space.
Produce component-level sensitivity analysis to enable globally optimal cost and performance tradeoffs.
Use models to produce repeatable results for stakeholders to drive product architecture and site-specific deployment decisions.
Parallelize the modeling framework to utilize cloud computing resources for faster results.
Lead model validation efforts by writing test plans, coordinating with test engineers, and using data to correlate the model.
Effectively communicate modeling results to drive architecture and performance initiatives.
An MS or PhD in Mechanical Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or a BS with 2+ years of related work experience.
Strong first-principles physics understanding of electrical and mechanical systems, power delivery, energy storage and transformation, and basic thermal mechanics.
Experience collaborating in software projects with multiple contributors.
Hybrid or electric powertrain model development, PV model development, or data analysis in Python or MATLAB/Simulink.
Ability to write clear and testable engineering requirements.
Office or outdoor environments; may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes with PPE.
Essential physical requirements such as climbing, standing, stooping, or typing.
Occasional weekends, nights, or on-call duties as part of the job.
