The company’s next-generation batteries are designed to enable greater energy density, faster charging and enhanced safety to support the transition away from legacy energy sources toward a lower carbon future.   What we need:  We are looking for a rare individual — a seasoned engineering leader who combines deep data center power expertise with intellectual restlessness to help reinvent how energy is stored and delivered at scale. As Head of Storage Energy System Engineering, you will lead the technical strategy and engineering execution for applying QuantumScape's solid-state battery platform to data center energy systems. This is a ground-floor leadership role with direct impact on one of the most important infrastructure challenges of the next decade. This is not a role for someone who wants to run a playbook. It's a role for someone who wants to write one.   What You'll Do:   Reimagine Data Center Energy Architecture Define the technical roadmap for integrating solid-state battery storage into data center power systems, from rack-level UPS replacement to building-scale energy buffering and behind-the-meter storage. Challenge conventional assumptions about VRLA/Li-ion UPS designs, backup power topologies, and peak shaving architectures — and propose what's possible when the battery chemistry fundamentally changes. Lead architecture studies and feasibility assessments for deploying QuantumScape technology in hyperscale, colocation, and edge data center environments. Bridge the gap between QuantumScape's cell-level innovations (energy density >844 Wh/L, rapid charge capability) and the system-level requirements of large-scale power infrastructure.   Own the Technical Vision for Power Architecture Serve as the organization's foremost authority on data center power architecture — legacy and emerging: Legacy systems: AC/DC distribution, 480V/208V power chains, traditional UPS topologies (online double-conversion, delta conversion), VRLA/Li-ion battery systems, N+1 and 2N redundancy models, generator backup integration. Emerging systems: 48V DC rack power, Open Rack V3, high-density AI/GPU pod power delivery, direct liquid cooling (DLC) power integration, rack-level power controllers, software-defined power, and AI-driven energy management. Develop reference architectures and system integration specifications for QuantumScape battery-based energy storage solutions within data center...
