Redwood Materials Tech Stack
Domestic critical minerals and battery energy storage at industrial scale
Redwood Materials operates a vertically integrated manufacturing footprint: lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper extraction; cathode active material production; battery component manufacturing; and grid-scale energy storage deployment. The tech stack reflects heavy industrial operations—Siemens PLCs, Allen-Bradley controllers, SCADA/DCS, and Beckhoff automation—paired with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Ansible, Chef, Puppet). Engineering dominates hiring (58 of 83 active roles), with active projects spanning factory automation, embedded firmware, power converters, and simulation/testing frameworks, indicating a push toward manufacturing automation and in-house control systems to reduce dependency on third-party integrations.
