Systems Engineer, Energy StorageYou will be an early member of a new engineering team, taking a hands-on role in the design, development, and integration of a new product at Redwood. This position will lead our system engineering effort, helping our mechanical, electrical, and software engineers come together and deliver a cohesive system. You will define clear requirements, evaluate and down-select system architectures, and drive the decision throughout the engineering organization. You are a believer and practitioner of model-driven design and have right-sized system engineering frameworks for a scrappy, fast-moving engineering team. 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 team at Redwood, we want to hear from you! If necessary, the job level will be adjusted to suit the applicant's experience and responsibilities.
Responsibilities will include:- Optimizing architecture to achieve top-level product metrics such as cost, efficiency, energy/power density and availability.
- Ownership of system-level performance and functional requirements as well as development of subsystem and component requirements in partnership with design engineers.
- Performing or defining system modeling, simulation, and testing to validate system performance against requirements.
- Establishing interface definitions across components and between mechanical, electrical, and software teams.
- Reinforce system safety and reliability through participation in DFMEAs, risk assessments, and hazard analyses to identify and mitigate potential failure modes.
- Ensuring compliance with industry (UL) standards.
Desired Qualifications: - BS or MS in Mechanical Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field and 5+ years of design engineering or system engineering experience.
- Excellent first-principles physics understanding of electrical and mechanical systems, power delivery, energy transformation, and basic thermal mechanics.
- Experience with power electronics product development.
- Proficiency in system modeling tools (Python or Matlab).
- Experience with requirement management tools (Doors, Jama, etc).
- Demonstrated ability to write clear and testable engineering requirements.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- A passion for sustainability and making the world a better place!
