Full Job Description
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 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. Mechanical Engineer - Battery Sorting, Energy Storage Do you want to design and build the automated systems that make battery recycling possible at scale? Join the Battery Sorting team at Redwood Materials, where we are building a world-class, state-of-the-art, ML-enabled sorting platform that integrates conveyors, diverter mechanisms, computer vision, and operator-assist systems to classify and route thousands of end-of-life batteries per hour across diverse chemistries and form factors. Our team partners closely with Controls, Software, and Production Engineering to solve tightly coupled electromechanical and AI-driven challenges as we scale the infrastructure driving the circular battery economy. By increasing the reach of recycled and sustainable materials, we are transforming the global battery supply chain. As a Mechanical Engineer on the Sorting team, you'll work alongside a world-class, cross-functional group of engineers to design, fabricate, integrate, and sustain production sorting equipment. We're looking for hands-on problem solvers who are energized by rapid iteration, people who can move fluidly between CAD, the shop floor, and the production line to keep hardware performing. If you're ready to make a tangible impact on the future of sustainable manufacturing, we want to hear from you. Responsibilities: Design, prototype, and implement mechanical assemblies for sorting line subsystems including infeed, outfeed, conveyors, diverters, and guarding Collaborate with production engineering to troubleshoot and improve existing sorting equipment and processes to maximize through
