Controls Engineer New Products

Essential Duties:

As the first Controls Engineer on a new engineering team you will take a handson role in the design development and integration of a new product at Redwood.

While battery algorithms are a core focus this role will also serve as the technical lead across all control systems for the product. We are looking for someone with strong control system fundamentals who has experience developing battery algorithms from scratch or as part of a small team.

The ideal candidate is highly selfdriven adaptable to a startup environment and eager to tackle novel technical challenges. If youre excited about working in a dynamic fastpaced setting within a new department at Redwood we want to hear from you!

If necessary the job level will be adjusted to suit the applicants experience and responsibilities.

Responsibilities will include:

• Develop control architectures and algorithms across multiple layers of power converters.
• Lead thermal control strategies for the system.
• Conduct system identification and modeling determining the appropriate level of model fidelity and designing experiments for data collection and parameter estimation.
• Collaborate with embedded firmware engineers to ensure algorithm implementation in resourceconstrained realtime environments.

Desired Qualifications:

• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering or a related field with 5 years of model development or systems engineering experience.
• Strong firstprinciples understanding of electrical and mechanical systems power delivery energy storage and thermal mechanics.
• Solid foundation in classical and modern control theory (stability controllability observability).
• Expertise in Liion battery estimation including SOC/SOH modeling Coulomb counting and Kalman filters (EKF).
• Handson experience designing and tuning PID controllers and working with frequencydomain analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to write clear and testable engineering requirements.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to perform the essential job functions consistent safely and successfully with the ADA FMLA and other federal state and local standards including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity standards.
• Ability to maintain regular punctual attendance consistent with the ADA FMLA and other federal state and local standards

Working Conditions:

• Environment such as office or outdoors.
• Ability to work in challenging working conditions which may include exposure to noise dust chemicals and temperature extremes while protected by PPE for extended periods of time.
• Essential physical requirements such as climbing standing stooping or typing.
• Occasional work weekends nights or be oncall as a regular part of the job.
• Occasional travel requirements.

The position is fulltime. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
