Teams at Redwood Materials

Leads the software and controls organization developing grid-scale battery energy storage systems. Oversees advanced power-conversion controls, grid-forming and grid-following algorithms, bare-metal Rust and C firmware, safety-critical architectures, hardware-software co-design, simulation, validation, manufacturing transition, field diagnostics, and fleet maintenance. The role also owns technical roadmaps, regulatory compliance, program delivery, hiring, and team development.

Develop and integrate software and controls for grid-scale battery energy storage systems using second-life EV battery packs. Responsibilities include hands-on pack bring-up, reverse-engineering proprietary BMS systems, validating state estimation algorithms, integrating Redwood’s battery controls, building embedded telemetry gateways, and conducting SIL/HIL and hardware verification. The role also leads technical engagements with automotive OEMs and BMS suppliers while ensuring safe high-voltage operation and reliable PCS and site-controller interfaces.

Designs, commissions, scales, and supports controls systems for battery recycling facilities. Responsibilities include developing real-time C++ and Python software, PLC Structured Text, control panels, deterministic control loops, safety routines, industrial network integrations, diagnostics, and distributed automation architectures. The role leads complex engineering efforts, performs field root-cause analysis, resolves software-hardware issues, and mentors engineers across controls and industrial automation practices.
