[Job Radar](https://jobradar.live/) / [Jobs](https://jobradar.live/ilanlar) / Systems Design Engineer, Factory Systems Modeling Active On-site McCarran, NV Posted · 24.09.2026 Greenhouse (US) # Systems Design Engineer, Factory Systems Modeling Redwood Materials About Redwood Materials 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. Systems Design Engineer, Factory Systems Modeling We are seeking a Systems Design Engineer to develop models for our battery refining and materials production processes. You'll apply first-principles modeling in custom software to create plant-scale models that maximize efficiency, detect equipment failures, and power soft sensors. The goal: design the world's most optimal factories through cross-functional collaboration with stakeholders and design teams. Responsibilities will include: Implement complex system models integrating mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control theories in custom software Design and implement control algorithms that optimize plant operations Own and maintain controls-plant model software in the loop tests Navigate cross-functional engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions Integrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies Optimize plant efficiency through modeling support Apply knowledge of motors, pumps, sensors, actuators, and thermodynamic systems to accurately model plant behavior Design high-level control strategies informed by simulation and data analytics Qualifications: M.S. in Mechanical/Chemical/Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience 2+ years in Systems Design Engineering and first-principles modeling, preferably with multi-physics simulations Proficiency in Python and/or simulation software with functional software engineering skills Strong grasp of mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamic fundamentals Experience with complex system design Self-motivated, hands-on attitude with willingness to contribute at all levels Passion for sustainability and making the world better  The position is full-time.
