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. Senior Software Engineer – Site Controller, Energy Storage We are at the precipice of a global energy transition. At Redwood Materials, we are moving beyond battery recycling to build the most advanced, circular energy ecosystem on the planet. Our goal is to move the industry away from static, hardware-heavy infrastructure toward agile, software-controlled energy assets. The Site Controller is the "Central Nervous System" of our modular Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). It is the platform that allows us to harmonize new and repurposed batteries into a single, high-performance energy asset. We are looking for engineers to build the digital backbone that finally makes renewable energy baseload-ready and turns the grid into a truly digital, responsive network. As a Site Controller Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the high-level orchestration of our grid-scale storage sites. Operating at the "System Coordination" layer, you will design and implement the mission-critical logic that dictates how GWh-scale sites interact with the utility, industrial assets, and the Redwood Cloud. You will build the scalable, resilient software platform that makes our proprietary "Pack Manager" technology possible. Responsibilities will include: Distributed System Architecture: Design and implement a scalable, resilient software architecture for the Site Controller, ensuring it can coordinate thousands of distributed microcontrollers with zero downtime. Tiered Control Logic: Lead the development of multi-rate control systems, balancing high-level site coordination with real-time grid executio
