Manufacturing Technician, Energy Storage

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

• 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
