Test Engineering Lead, Energy Storage

You will be an early member of a new engineering team, responsible for building testers, defining test procedures, and executing tests for a new high-power electromechanical product line at Redwood. This includes engineering validation testers, reliability testers, and manufacturing testers for high volume (100,000s / year) production.

In this role you’ll immediately start detailing the full-stack test infrastructure for our new product, while simultaneously building out a new organization to design, build, and support those testers throughout the product lifecycle.

Our ideal candidate is highly self-driven, adaptable to a startup environment, and eager to take on both technical and leadership challenges. You’re excited to dive into individual contributor work when necessary, while simultaneously building a capable, robust test organization over time. You have experience with testing complex electromechanical products across mechanical, electrical, and software design of testers and test infrastructure. You understand how to collaborate with the product teams to build test procedures that strike the right balance between coverage, speed, and tester cost.

You’re a leader and a doer, excited about working in a dynamic, fast-paced setting, and want to shape the test engineering function within a new department at Redwood.

In accordance with your experience and responsibilities, we may adjust the job level to suit your experience.

Responsibilities

• Recruit, lead, and manage a high-caliber test engineering team
• Develop, deploy, and support testers across product validation and high-volume manufacturing lines
• Be a hands‑on engineering manager, accountable for project goals and timelines
• Contribute to a collaborative, fast‑paced startup culture, where every team member plays a crucial role in achieving company milestones
