Last year, Redwood Materials introduced its first research and development lab in San Francisco to leverage the region’s engineering talent. In under a year, the company has expanded that facility by more than four times, reflecting significant growth in its energy storage division.
Energy storage has emerged as the fastest-growing segment of Redwood’s business. Customer demand has accelerated, and the San Francisco teams have been instrumental in developing, testing, and deploying modular storage systems. This work bridges hardware, software, and power electronics, creating a direct pathway from laboratory innovation to commercial implementation.
The enlarged R&D space will serve teams dedicated to energy systems engineering, integration, and deployment. New lab infrastructure supports hands-on experimentation, rapid design iterations, and ongoing refinements. Projects conducted in San Francisco are closely linked with the company’s broader activities—from battery recycling and critical minerals recovery to large-scale storage installations—enhancing cross-functional collaboration.
Redwood’s ability to expand quickly in San Francisco underscores successful recruiting efforts. Within twelve months, the company has assembled high-impact engineering groups and continues to tap into the local talent pool. Redwood is actively hiring mechanical and electrical engineers to advance system design, integration, and field deployment of its energy storage solutions.
Looking ahead, Redwood Materials views its San Francisco facility as a strategic hub where concepts evolve into market-ready products. As the company scales the Redwood Energy business, the expanded footprint will support innovation cycles and speed time-to-market for energy storage systems that power a sustainable energy future.
