We’re doing this by developing and deploying new technologies to increase the scope and scale of recycled and sustainable materials in the global battery supply chain.
Staff Product Regulatory & Compliance Engineer
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 motivated and experienced Staff Product Regulatory & Compliance Engineer to join our team and play a key role in advancing new product introduction (NPI) initiatives and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations and help shape regulatory frameworks where none exist.

Work closely with engineering and product teams to align regulatory requirements with product development milestones.
- Team Support and Alignment: Simplify complex regulatory requirements into actionable objectives for internal teams. Address feedback from cross-functional teams to refine and align product designs with regulatory frameworks.
- Risk Management: Develop and implement fire mitigation and testing plans in compliance with safety standards, proactively addressing potential risks. Coordinate with external agencies, such as local fire departments, for testing support and approvals.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and product design teams to streamline compliance processes for innovative product introductions. Maintain relationships with regulatory bodies and industry partners to stay ahead of evolving standards.
Desired Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, regulatory compliance, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
- Minimum of 7+ years of experience in regulatory compliance, product certification, or NPI, preferably in energy storage or a related industry.
- Strong knowledge of UL, NFPA, NEC, and other relevant codes and standards.
- Proven experience influencing and contributing to the development of codes and standards.
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to interface at an executive level.
