Hardware in the Loop Engineer, Energy Storage

Essential Duties :

You will be an early member of the Redwood Energy engineering team, taking a hands-on role in the design, development, and integration of second-life battery-based energy storage systems. This role will be first engineer on the Hardware-in-the-Loop team, in charge of developing the hardware and software architecture that allows us to quickly develop and release hardware and software with confidence critical safety and performance requirements and still met. We believe the best way to do this is with an intentionally designed, automated system that works closely with the entire product development team.

The ideal candidate is comfortable across both hardware and software, has coding or scripting experience, and is comfortable reading schematics and using an oscilloscope. If you have been designing HIL setups for years and have strong opinions about the ecosystem we want to hear them, but we also think an early career engineer with strong first-principle understanding and motivated by this problem can be successful. Most importantly, we are looking forsomeone 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 department at Redwood, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities

• Define and implement the Hardware-in-the-Loop strategy and architecture from the ground up, establishing scalable frameworks, tools, and processes that enable rapid, reliable validation of power electronics and battery management system controllers.
• Design controller validation test hardware and software, collecting cross-functional input from Software, Electrical and System engineers on requirements.
• Conduct controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing to validate functional control behavior against design specifications and project requirements
• Develop and maintain test setups, automate processes, and provide assurance safety-critical functionality is maintained across the software development life cycle.
• Contribute to a collaborative, fast-paced startup culture, where every team member plays a crucial role in achieving company milestones.
