Jobs at QuantumScape

• Knowledge with machine vision systems (Cognex, Keyence) and their application in advanced automation.
• Experience with 6-axis robotics (FANUC preferred, KUKA secondary) and their integration into automation systems.

• Lead in the design, development, and implementation of new solid-state Li-metal battery designs for manufacturing scale-up with cross functional teams
• Utilize thermal and mechanical simulation to drive the detailed mechanical design of cell architecture to meet customer mechanical, thermal, and pack level integration requirements

Description: QuantumScape is on a mission to transform energy storage with solid-state lithium-metal battery technology. 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 sou...

• Lead technical strategy and hands-on execution for scaling solid-state cathode fabrication from lab-scale development to larger-format ASSB builds.
• Work directly with materials, tools, experiments, and process data to develop, troubleshoot, and improve cathode fabrication processes.

• Create a firmware platform for the battery pack with bare metal/RTOS and drivers
• Define pinouts of microcontrollers to ensure proper allocation of peripherals

• Design the complete mechanical enclosure (1OU or 2OU shelf) in SolidWorks or Creo: sheet metal chassis, busbar routing, internal structural supports, and external connector interfaces
• Solve the core thermal challenge: power semiconductors and magnetics (tolerant to 100-125°C junction) sharing an enclosure with solid-state battery cells (requiring sub-45-60°C operation) - via directed airflow paths, thermal isolation zones, heat spreaders, and fan selection

• Serve as the primary on-floor engineering resource for assigned manufacturing tools and process stations on the Gen 1 battery manufacturing line.
• Work side-by-side with operators and technicians to ensure equipment is running within specification and production targets are met.

• Enterprise networking -- configure and maintain multi-site LAN/WAN, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, Palo Alto firewalls, network segmentation, and zero-trust access controls across corporate, R&D, and manufacturing sites.
• Identity and endpoint -- administer SSO/MFA, MDM, EDR, ThreatLocker, and device lifecycle progr...
