PowerCo - Careers
Salzgitter, Lower Saxony, DE
PowerCo, founded in 2022, is building out a vertically integrated battery manufacturing operation spanning Europe and North America - with facilities targeted in Germany, Spain, and Canada. The company's production target reaches up to 200 GWh per year, focused on its Unified Cell platform for passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, and grid-scale energy storage systems. That's a lot of industrial control systems, OT networks, and firmware attack surface to defend across multiple continents. The threat model here is physical and digital convergence: manufacturing execution systems (MES), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and supply chain integrity all sit in scope when you're scaling cell production at this pace. PowerCo operates across electric mobility and renewable energy verticals, meaning security work touches everything from battery management system (BMS) firmware to energy storage system (ESS) network architecture. Germany, Spain, Canada - each jurisdiction brings its own regulatory pressure, from NIS2 to evolving North American critical infrastructure mandates. For security professionals, the draw is scale meeting early-stage: a 2022-founded company already targeting industrial-grade output, with the OT/IT convergence challenges that come from turning electrochemistry research into physical product at volume. The company explicitly frames its mission around turning innovation into real-world impact - which, translated into security terms, means defending manufacturing uptime, intellectual property, and the integrity of cells that end up in vehicles and on power grids.
