Battery System Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field, and bring over 5 years of experience in battery system design and development. Your background includes developing functional specifications and design verification plans, ensuring that you can effectively lead projects from concept through mass production. You are responsive and flexible, thriving in collaborative environments where you can engage with both internal teams and external partners. Your expertise in battery technologies, particularly Li-ion systems, allows you to evaluate emerging technologies and apply them to innovative consumer products.

You possess strong analytical skills, enabling you to conduct thorough system and design reviews, as well as perform failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA) and risk assessments. Your ability to analyze and resolve battery-related issues in production and field settings is complemented by your experience in battery safety assessments and design for safety. You are adept at managing relationships with contract manufacturers and suppliers, ensuring that development processes align with product specifications and safety requirements.

What you'll do

In this role, you will lead the design, development, and delivery of Li-ion battery systems, ensuring they meet performance and safety requirements. You will drive battery development from new product introduction (NPI) through to mass production, collaborating closely with product teams to define battery specifications. Your responsibilities will include designing battery protection circuits and pack designs for NPI programs, which involves schematic design and component selection. You will also develop and review battery pack schematics, bills of materials (BOMs), and layouts to meet design requirements.

Conducting system and design reviews will be a key part of your role, as will performing DFMEA and risk assessments to identify potential issues early in the development process. You will analyze and resolve battery-related issues that arise during production and in the field, ensuring that products are safe and reliable. Supporting battery certification processes, such as CTIA/IEEE1725, will also be part of your responsibilities, as you work to ensure compliance with industry standards.

You will manage and coordinate with contract manufacturers on battery development for NPI programs, building and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers and manufacturing partners to facilitate smooth project execution. Your collaborative approach will help drive innovation and ensure that the final products meet the high standards expected by Amazon and its customers.
