Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the design, build, and activation of custom industrial machinery while collaborating with production engineering to optimize manufacturing processes. Execute structural analysis, mechanism design, and hardware fabrication to deliver durable, large-scale production assets.
Requires a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline and at least 2 years of professional mechanical design experience. Preferred candidates possess 5+ years of technical product development experience and hands-on expertise with industrial equipment.
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.
About the team
Big Machines designs and builds custom equipment for our factories and processing plants. Most of what we make can’t be bought from a vendor, so we figure out how to design, build, and commission it ourselves. The scale is big. A full kiln system may weigh 100+ tons and be over 30m long.
We are looking for an engineer who has owned machinery from concept through commissioning. You have built things that failed and learned the hard lessons. You work from first principles when there is no precedent to lean on, run your own analysis, and you hold a high standard for detail without losing the ability to execute.
Own the design, build, and commissioning of low-volume, custom integrated machines
Perform engineering hand calculations and finite element analysis to size structures and mechanisms
Create detailed models and engineering prints in SolidWorks, including managing large assemblies and drawing packages
Collaborate with internal fabrication teams and external vendors to manufacture parts
Support machine assembly and testing by performing hands-on commissioning, equipment operation, and floor troubleshooting
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline
5+ years of professional experience designing and analyzing mechanical structures, mechanisms, or industrial equipment
Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or Creo
Strong understanding and application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Experience designing and fabricating welded structures
Experience designing and testing mechanical mechanisms
Experience managing large CAD assembly models and engineering drawings
Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Experience integrating servos, actuators, and sensors
Hands-on experience working in a production facility with heavy equipment and industrial machinery
In accordance with California pay transparency laws, the salary range for this position is listed below. Actual compensation may vary based on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and skills.
The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
