Power Systems Engineer, Energy Storage

$145.2k - $255k
Full-time

Redwood Materials

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.

Power Systems Engineer, Energy Storage

Responsibilities will include:

  • Work with the product and controls design teams to translate power system requirements into site controller and inverter controller specifications, influencing6 system and plant-level control architecture
  • Design, develop, and validate plant controller functions for battery energy storage systems including voltage regulation, frequency regulation, P–f and Q–V droop control, active/reactive power control loops, and fast frequency response
  • Ensure control algorithms meet utility, ISO, and IEEE requirements including ERCOT interconnection specifications and IEEE 2800 compliance
  • Build and strengthen in-house modeling capabilities for Redwood Energy's products in PSCAD and PSSE, including model validation against field and controller-hardware-in-the-loop behaviors
  • Set up and execute CHIL testing on platforms such as RTDS, OPAL-RT, or Typhoon HIL to validate inverter and site controller performance under grid disturbance and fault scenarios
  • Develop automation tools for PSCAD and PSSE for interconnection studies using Python, C, or C++

Desired Qualifications:

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with specialization in power systems and control systems (PhD preferred)
  • Strong foundation in classical and modern control theory including PID tuning, state-space modeling, small-signal stability analysis, and frequency-domain analysis (Bode plots)
  • Expert proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for control algorithm development and testing
  • Experience developing and validating user-defined inverter or plant controller models in PSCAD and/or PSSE
  • Hands-on experience with inverter-based resource modeling including grid-forming and grid-following control, PLL design, virtual inertia, and droop-based power control
  • Solid understanding of synchronous machine dynamics, excitation and governor systems, and system-level stability concepts (frequency stability, voltage stability, weak grid operation)
  • Experience with real-time simulation and CHIL environments (RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL) is strongly preferred
  • Programming experience in Python, C, or C++ for model automation, controls integration, or testing workflows
  • Experience performing or supporting transmission-level engineering studies such as transient stability, protection coordination, harmonics, and insulation coordination is a plus
  • Familiarity working with utilities, ISOs, or renewable project developers is a plus
