Amazon Senior Battery Algorithms Engineer Project Kuiper 

United States, Washington, Redmond 

297027224

Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will be focused on developing battery models (equivalent-circuit, aging, physics-based) and state estimation algorithms for the project Kuiper satellite. You will build algorithms that estimate the state of charge, state of health, and state of power of a battery and can be deployed on embedded or cloud platforms. You will be responsible for overall modeling & algorithm design, deployment, and test verification. You will work with large datasets to evaluate health of battery over life and track accuracy of models and performance of system to vehicle requirements.Export Control Requirement:
A day in the life
This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas spanning battery storage, electrical hardware, and software domains. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve your product’s performance, quality and cost. We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
