What this job asks for AI summary
A systems engineering role focused on the design and integration of a new energy storage product, sitting at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines. The position owns system-level requirements, architecture selection, interface definitions, and validation through modeling and testing, while also driving safety and reliability processes such as DFMEAs and hazard analyses. It suits an experienced engineer comfortable applying model-driven design practices within a fast-moving, early-stage team.

Why we read it this way (7)
This is a hardware/systems engineering role (mechanical, electrical, power electronics) rather than a software or IT occupation. None of the standard SOC codes in the allowed list cleanly fit; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, but this role is more accurately an Electrical/Mechanical Systems Engineer (SOC 17-2112 or 17-2141), which is not in the permitted enum. Confidence is Low as a result.
The job title carries no seniority level word; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 5+ years requirement and end-to-end system ownership scope support a Senior classification.
Location is inferred as Redwood Materials' primary facility in the Reno, NV area (McCarran/Sparks, NV); the posting does not explicitly state a city.
The posting notes 'if necessary, the job level will be adjusted to suit the applicant's experience and responsibilities,' indicating the level is flexible.
Python and Matlab are listed as interchangeable options for system modeling proficiency ('Python or Matlab'); DOORS and Jama are listed as interchangeable examples of requirement management tools.
DFMEA and UL standards appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than a hard-requirements block and are treated as preferred/contextual skills.
The wide compensation range ($127,500–$248,500) reflects the stated level flexibility.
