Description

Amazon is building the largest EV fleet and EV charging network in the world as part of our Climate Pledge. We're looking for an Interdisciplinary Systems Engineer with expertise in connectivity, communications interfaces, and HW/SW systems to define systems-level architectures and new processes that will track and improve charging system performance. The ideal candidate for this role will have: 1) worked on teams with multiple interdependencies (including third party vendors), 2) scaled prior products, and 3) will be as enthusiastic about root causing systemic field issues to resolve operational pain points as they are developing new architectures.

*Travel required approximately every 3 weeks or 20-25% of the time.

Key job responsibilities

The role of an Interdisciplinary Systems Engineer is to develop technical strategy including: identify requirements, decompose into systems, subsystems and interfaces, identify potential solutions, perform trade studies, identify constraints and cross-functional tradeoffs, perform technical risk assessments, present conclusions to peers and senior management, develop plans and papers outlining technical approach, design/architecture, and test specifications, lead multi-disciplinary technology teams, facilitate and communicate architecture and system design with partner teams, address safety, reliability, usability and deployment at Amazon scale.

You will:

• Develop a technical strategy for a controller and lead development of any new products needed to support that strategy

• Define connectivity standards for our charging infrastructure and a technical strategy to meet those standards

• Develop a detailed understanding of the current charging system architecture and identify methods to monitor/improve performance

A day in the life

You'll start the morning in the lab deep diving hardware specifications and testing communications protocols on existing chargers with a fellow engineer. After lunch, you’ll hop on a status call with a vendor to discuss progress on a pilot with a communications component and analyze early data points based on test cases you provided. In the afternoon, you’ll work on a document outlining a technical strategy and lead calls with stakeholders involved in the initiative.
