We are seeking a Research Scientist II to join our Electric Propulsion Subsystem team. In this role, you will be a significant and autonomous contributor, solving difficult engineering problems related to battery management systems (BMS) and energy storage. You will design, develop, and validate BMS hardware and algorithms from concept through production, working on high-voltage lithium-ion battery packs that push the boundaries of performance, safety, and energy density.
This position requires an engineer who demonstrates strong technical depth in battery systems and BMS design while also exhibiting the system-level thinking and influence characteristic of our most impactful contributors.
Key job responsibilities
Design, develop, and validate BMS architectures for high-voltage lithium-ion battery packs from concept through volume production, including cell monitoring and sensing strategy, communication topology, and isolation design
Develop safety controls, fault detection and diagnostic mechanisms, cell balancing routines, and thermal protection boundaries, and lead test plans validating BMS designs against safety standards (e.g., UL 2271, IEC 62619, UN 38.3) for functional safety, thermal resilience, and abuse tolerance
Apply system-level thinking to understand how the BMS integrates with and influences the broader product architecture, including power electronics, thermal management, and vehicle control systems, and maintain high-quality design documentation (schematics, algorithm specs, analysis reports, test results)
Basic Qualifications
Master's degree or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
3+ years of developing electric propulsion and/or battery management systems.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
