    Job Description

    Amazon has co-founded and signed The Climate Pledge, a commitment to reach net zero carbon by 2040. As a team, we leverage GenAI, sensors, smart home devices, cloud services, material science, and Alexa to build products that have a meaningful impact for customers and the climate.

    In alignment with this bold corporate goal, the Amazon Devices & Services organization is looking for a passionate, talented, and inventive Interdisciplinary System Engineer to help build revolutionary products with potential for major societal impact. Great candidates for this position will have expertise in the areas of battery management systems, energy storage optimization, time-series forecasting, and control systems for battery dispatch. This includes owning end-to-end battery system architecture, design, and technical execution across the team"s hardware launches, and experience designing ML-driven algorithms for battery management (BMS) that operate reliably under embedded/edge compute constraints, building forecasting models for energy usage and demand response, applying reinforcement learning or control theory to battery dispatch and charge/discharge optimization, and developing predictive models for battery health and degradation. You will strive for simplicity and creativity, demonstrating high judgment backed by statistical proof.

    Key job responsibilities

    As a Interdisciplinary System Engineer, you"ll own end-to-end battery system architecture for new-to-Amazon devices, including power electronics, BMS, wireless connectivity, and HW/FW/SW integration - driving architecture decisions from concept through mass production. You"ll serve as a key technical interface with battery vendors on system-level design and component selection, and lead design reviews and validation plans to ensure product quality and safety. You"ll design and deploy ML-driven algorithms that autonomously optimize battery charge/discharge behavior, dispatch, and energy usage, and develop forecasting systems that integrate real-world usage data and grid signals to deliver context-aware, cost-saving recommendations to customers.

    Beyond technical innovation, you"ll drive critical technical trade-offs - BMS algorithm fidelity versus compute constraints, power electronics efficiency versus BOM cost, safety margin versus usable capacity - serving as a subject-matter expert on energy storage systems for Director and VP-level technical reviews. You"ll drive end-to-end product development from research through production deployment on embedded and cloud systems, collaborating with cross-functional hardware, firmware, and software teams, and establish rigorous experimentation frameworks to validate model performance and measure business impact.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
