Staff Chemical Engineer
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The privacy statement at end is boilerplate? It's about personal information collection; likely considered boilerplate/legal; we should remove it. Also "Physical Requirements" includes ADA etc; that's still substantive? It's about ability to perform essential functions; we can keep but maybe it's boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The ADA/FMLA statements might be considered legal boilerplate; but they are part of Physical Requirements. Might be okay to keep as they are part of job description. However they are somewhat generic. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not sure if they consider that boilerplate. I'd keep it but maybe we can shorten? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can keep Physical Requirements as a section.
We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we will have sections: About the role? Actually we have "Position Summary". Could treat as About the role. But we should follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we can use any of those headings if content matches. The instructions: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose among those. We need to map content.
We have company description "About Redwood Materials". That's not exactly About the role but could be About the role? Might be better to use "About the role" for position summary. But we also have company description; maybe we can include a brief paragraph under About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can have a heading About the role and then include position summary and maybe company description? However the company description is about Redwood Materials, not the role. Could we create a section "About Redwood Materials"? Not in the list. But we could fold it into About the role as a paragraph. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role (includes company description and position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Basic Qualifications and Physical Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe skills?), Schedule. But we need to follow the headings list; we can use any of those headings that fit.
Let's think: The posting includes:
- About Redwood Materials (company overview)
- Position Summary
- Key Responsibilities
- Basic Qualifications
- Physical Requirements
- Working Conditions
- Compensation (commensurate with experience) -> omit
- Privacy statement -> omit
- The position is full-time. Occasional work weekends, nights, or on-call availability as a regular part of the job. Occasional travel requirements. -> schedule.

About the role
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
Redwood Materials is seeking a Staff Chemical Engineer to lead the design and commissioning of first-of-a-kind recycling plants and brownfield retrofit projects. In this high-impact role, you will take ownership of new plant design from initial concept through detailed engineering and hands-on commissioning. You will also lead brownfield initiatives—from scoping and financial justification to lab-scale trials and full deployment. Collaborating closely with operations, controls, and software teams, your work will directly shape how Redwood scales its next generation of battery recycling technologies.
Then Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
- Design first-of-a-kind recycling plants for battery waste materials, leading projects from concept through commissioning.
- Own and drive brownfield plant retrofits and process improvement projects from initial scoping through full implementation.
- Perform cost analyses, design trade studies, and process modeling to guide equipment sizing, predict plant performance, and maximize profitability.
- Create Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and detailed equipment specification sheets.
- Plan and execute critical testwork, lab-scale trials, and plant trials to validate and define process designs.
- Partner with mechanical, controls, operations, and maintenance teams to deliver complete plant designs and execute safe, successful commissioning.
Then Requirements/Qualifications: We have Basic Qualifications list. Could use Qualifications
with . Also we have Physical Requirements and Working Conditions; maybe combine into a section "Requirements" or "Working Conditions". But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could put Basic Qualifications under Qualifications. Physical Requirements and Working Conditions maybe under Requirements? Or we could have a section "Requirements" that includes both Physical Requirements and Working Conditions. However the instruction: "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So if we have a list for qualifications, we use ul. For physical requirements and working conditions, they are more prose; we can use
.
Let's decide:
Qualifications
- B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 8+ years of chemical or process engineering experience with a proven track record of delivering plant, equipment, or product designs.
- Direct experience designing flowsheets and equipment for large capital projects, including scale-up from pilot to commercial scale.
- Hands-on expertise in process modeling, equipment sizing, and linking testwork data to full-scale project implementation.
- Demonstrated experience partnering with operations and maintenance teams to implement safe plant improvement projects.
- Proficiency with statistical analysis and metallurgical accounting tools for data-driven decision-making.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to lead in a matrixed environment and convey complex technical concepts to non-specialist audiences.
Then maybe a section "Requirements" for Physical Requirements and Working Conditions.
Requirements
Ability to perform the essential job functions consistently, safely, and successfully with the ADA, FMLA, and other federal, state, and local standards, including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity standards. Ability to maintain regular, punctual attendance consistent with the ADA, FMLA, and other federal, state, and local standards.
Environment: Office and industrial/manufacturing facility environment (indoors/outdoors). Ability to work in challenging working conditions, which may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes while protected by PPE for extended periods of time. Essential physical requirements such as climbing, standing, stooping, lifting, or typing. Occasional work weekends, nights, or on-call availability as a regular part of the job. Occasional travel requirements. The position is full-time.
But we already have schedule info; we could put schedule in its own section. However we already included occasional work weekends etc in Requirements. Might be better to separate Schedule.
Let's create Schedule section:
Schedule
The position is full-time. Occasional work weekends, nights, or on-call availability as a regular part of the job. Occasional travel requirements.
Then we can keep Requirements focusing on physical/adherence.
But we might be duplicating occasional work weekends etc. Let's keep Schedule separate and remove from Requirements.
Thus Requirements will be just physical requirements and ADA etc.
Let's craft:

Schedule section as above.
We should not include Benefits or Pay.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: company overview, position summary, responsibilities, qualifications, physical requirements, environment, schedule. We omitted the privacy statement. Good.
Now output only HTML fragment.
