From Redwood Materials's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain.
On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
The position serves as Redwood's senior technical authority on extractive metallurgy across the company's recycling and refining operations. The role owns the metallurgical basis of design for how Redwood liberates, separates, and refines metals from recycled feedstocks, spanning mechanical separation of heterogeneous feeds, high-temperature processing, hydrometallurgical refining, and electrochemical upgrading of battery metals and other critical minerals.
The position exercises independent judgment on methods and evaluation criteria for first-of-a-kind processes where data is incomplete, and its recommendations determine which flowsheets Redwood deploys at commercial scale. This is a strategic individual contributor role with regular interaction with Redwood's CTO and CEO, and success depends on driving innovation and plant deployment at an exceptional pace.
