Software Engineer, Factory Systems ModelingMcCarran, NVAbout Redwood MaterialsRedwood 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.Software Engineer, Factory Systems ModelingWe 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.This role is based in Reno, NV and is a fully onsite role.Responsibilities will include:Implement complex system models integrating mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control theories in custom softwareDesign and implement control algorithms that optimize plant operationsOwn and maintain controls‑plant model software in the loop testsNavigate cross‑functional engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver solutionsIntegrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomaliesOptimize plant efficiency through modeling supportApply knowledge of motors, pumps, sensors, actuators, and thermodynamic systems to accurately model plant behaviorDesign high‑level control strategies informed by simulation and data analyticsQualifications:M.S. in Mechanical/Chemical/Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience2+ years in Systems Design Engineering and first‑principles modeling, preferably with multi‑physics simulationsProficiency in Python and/or simulation software with functional software engineering skillsStrong grasp of mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamic fundamentalsExperience with complex system designSelf‑motivated, hands‑on attitude with willingness to contribute at all levelsPassion for sustainability and making the world betterThe position is full‑time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.#J-18808-Ljbffr
