Key Responsibilities

As an early member of a new engineering technician team, you will play a key role in building, setting up, and running equipment to support the development of manufacturing lines at Redwood Materials. You’ll work hands-on across mechanical and electrical tools to help validate product performance and reliability. You will support all phases of the product development lifecycle from early design validation to long-term production line improvements by assembling equipment, operating equipment safely, capturing data, and troubleshooting issues as they arise. This role requires a proactive, can-do attitude with careful attention to detail and a strong safety mindset.
Build, set up, and execute equipment fabrication on the manufacturing lines
Partner with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality, operations) to support FMEAs and test plan execution
Assemble, install, and maintain test infrastructure such as fixtures, sensors, actuators, chambers, and power supplies
Operate equipment, follow procedures, and ensure safe handling of high-voltage systems and hardware
Collect, organize, and document test data, observations, and results clearly and consistently
Perform basic failure triage and support failure analysis through teardown, inspections, and root-cause investigations
Troubleshoot equipment setups and hardware issues; escalate and collaborate to resolve blockers quickly
Support New Product Introduction (NPI) line operations by assisting with product assembly, build readiness, and day-to-day troubleshooting. Create, update, and maintain build documentation, including work instructions, assembly procedures, and change logs to ensure accurate and repeatable processes
Support with the management of lab inventory, organization, and power infrastructure. Assembly and validation of high-voltage harnesses and electrical sub-systems, including wiring, terminations, and integration while ensuring full compliance with electrical safety requirements and site policies

Requirements

Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent hands-on experience in mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, or related fields
3+ years of experience in a lab, manufacturing, or test environment (technician, engineering tech, or similar role)
Experience working with or around high-voltage systems (400–2000VDC and 480–800VAC) and strong safety discipline (LOTO, PPE, safe work practices)
Strong hands-on skills with mechanical assembly, wiring, sensors, instrumentation, and lab equipment
Comfortable following procedures, maintaining detailed documentation, and producing clear test summaries
Strong communication and teamwork skills; able to work effectively with engineers and stakeholders across levels
A get-it-done attitude—willing to jump in, own tasks end-to-end, and do what’s needed to support the team
Ability to perform essential physical tasks such as standing, walking, bending, stooping, climbing, lifting (up to 25 lbs), typing, and performing repetitive motions
Manual dexterity to work with small components under a microscope for extended periods, including precision soldering and handling heavy copper assemblies
