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 2019, 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.

Compliance Quality Engineer, Energy Storage

Redwood Materials is pioneering a sustainable circular economy for lithium-ion batteries by transforming recycled materials into critical inputs for energy storage and next-generation battery technologies. We are seeking a Compliance Quality Engineer to support our Energy Storage Systems program by owning compliance-critical requirements and objective evidence from design through manufacturing, certification, and deployment at scale.

This role sits at the intersection of compliance engineering, quality engineering, and manufacturing readiness. Documentation is an output of the role, but the core responsibility is ensuring that regulatory and standards requirements are correctly implemented, verifiable, and remain true as products scale and evolve.

The CQE works closely with compliance engineering, product engineering, manufacturing, quality, and certification bodies to maintain tight alignment between compliance intent, manufacturing reality, and certification files.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Compliance Requirements and Objective Evidence Ownership: Own defining compliance-critical quality requirements and objective evidence requirements from initial definition through certification and define what sustaining post-certification requirements exist. Ensure that when requirements are triggered (UL standards, Electrical standards, labeling, etc.), the correct evidence exists, is current, and is traceable. Ensure consistency is maintained across drawings, labels, manufacturing records, test reports, manuals, and certification files. Product Labeling, Markings, and Safety Information. Own product labels, markings, ratings, and safety information required for listing, installation, inspection, and operation. Ensure alignment between regulatory requirements, certification conditions, product configuration, and manufacturing execution. Support development and maintenance of marketing materials, TDSs and SDSs and other safety-related documentation as applicable.
  • Audit Readiness and Follow-Up Services: Lead readiness for NRTL follow-up services, including preparation, execution support, corrective actions, and closure. Support internal, customer, and independent engineer (IE) audits related to compliance and certification. Own compliance-related corrective actions and ensure measurable resolution.
  • Certification and Compliance Documentation: Own compliance-critical documentation used for certifications, customer audits, field evaluations, and AHJ reviews. Support certification submittals, data packages, and responses to regulatory or certification inquiries. Ensure documentation remains aligned as designs, suppliers, or manufacturing processes change.
  • Manufacturing and Operational Integration: Interface with Engineering and Operations to ensure compliance requirements are correctly implemented on the manufacturing floor. Define compliance-critical end-of-line (EOL) checks and support pack screening and grading processes ensuring compliance to UL 1974. Ensure manufacturing work instructions, SOPs, and training materials reflect certified configurations and requirements.
  • Testing and Data Programs: Support NRTL Data Acceptance Programs (DAP) and the long-term strategy to bring all compliance testing in-house. Ensure test evidence is complete, traceable, and acceptable for certification and audit purposes. Work with engineering and test teams to close gaps between test intent and certification expectations.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with compliance engineering, product engineering, product marketing, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve gaps, ambiguities, or misalignments. Act as a technical bridge between standards language and real-world implementation.

Desired Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, science, quality, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in compliance engineering, quality engineering, or regulated product environments.
  • Demonstrated experience interpreting and applying technical standards, codes, and certification requirements.
  • Direct experience supporting audits, certifications, inspections, or NRTL follow-up services.
  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to manage requirements, evidence, and change over time.
  • Clear, precise written communication skills focused on accuracy and audit defensibility.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple workstreams, and prioritize effectively in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with international standards, UL standards, and/or other consensus standards,
  • Experience with batteries or energy storage systems.
  • Familiarity with manufacturing quality systems, configuration control, or change management.
  • Experience supporting in-house testing, DAP programs, or certification sustainment activities.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to perform the essential job functions safely and successfully in accordance with the ADA, FMLA, and other applicable federal, state, and local standards, including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity expectations.
  • Ability to maintain regular, punctual attendance consistent with applicable standards.

Working Conditions:

  • Work environment may include office, manufacturing, laboratory, or outdoor settings.
  • Ability to work in environments that may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes, while wearing appropriate PPE.
  • Essential physical requirements may include standing, walking, climbing, stooping, or extended periods of computer-based work.
  • Occasional weekend, night, or on-call work may be required.
  • Occasional travel may be required.
