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 Develop software algorithms for State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), and State of Power (SOP) estimation using machine learning models Support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, bench verification, and real-world data analysis to validate BMS algorithms and correlate models with physical pack performance Design charging infrastructure interfaces, including charge profile management, communication protocols, and interoperability with external charging systems 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) ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 5, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 13 days - Location: US, WA, Seattle[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10569772/electric-propulsion-system-research-scientist-amazon-prime-air) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [2027 Research Science Internship - United States, PhD Student Science Recruiting](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/c6b2426e856700039aad/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/f0aed8e58d7b1e914fe3/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Applied Scientist, Customer Experience and Business Trends](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/a059390fa595724def2b/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Applied Scientist, Prime Video Personalization and Discovery, Prime Video Personalization & Discovery](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/69664ee35787aa2881d3/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Applied Scientist - GenAI, Trust and Store Integrity Science](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/c1fe2d5f38edbb3047c2/) US, WA, Seattle ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Research Scientist – Power System Operation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/hitachi/jobs/498c08c3c6f1bf8a21a1/) Hitachi · Raleigh, NC, United States ### [Senior Engineer, Electric Propulsion Systems P3 (Onsite)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/rtx/jobs/b815cc923bf9f189b943/) RTX ### [Vehicle Propulsion System Calibration Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/2b3991ae56c3c041a0ac/) Ford Motor · Dearborn, MI, United States ### [Propulsion Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/4d3d9ab5ce2866c963a6/) Lockheed Martin · Littleton, CO ### [Propulsion Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/8e7144ab4e0a56f8c2b4/) Lockheed Martin · Orlando, FL [Jobs in Seattle, WA](/locations/us/wa/seattle/)[Jobs in Washington](/locations/us-wa/)[Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
