Reliability Engineer, Energy Storage

About Redwood Materials

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.

Essential Duties : As an early member of a new engineering team, you will be responsible for defining system reliability requirements, generating damage models, and characterizing the reliability of our new product. You will work cross-functionally to define requirements, analyze designs, and design tests to meet high reliability standards in real-world conditions, including both electrical and mechanical failure modes.

Responsibilities Will Include :

• Define and own the reliability strategy for hardware products with complex PCBAs and electromechanical assemblies
• Plan and execute reliability tests such as HALT, thermal cycling, vibration, drop, humidity, ingress protection (IP) testing, and power cycling
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define design-for-reliability (DfR) requirements and drive root cause analysis for test failures
• Track reliability KPIs and deliver reliability insights to guide design improvements and product decisions
• Develop accelerated life test models and support FMEA and DFMEA processes
• Analyze reliability data using Weibull, log-normal, and other statistical models to predict field performance
• Work closely with engineering teams to establish reliability gates through program stages (A / B / C / D)
• Support failure analysis (FA) efforts using tools like X-ray, cross-sectioning, and SEM / EDX to identify failure mechanisms in PCBAs
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts across reliability processes, lab capabilities, and test methodologies
• Author reports / document findings
