Battery Test Engineer – High-Rel Aerospace

Amazon; Redmond (WA); On-site; USD 117,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC seeks a Battery Test Engineer to own battery pack and PCBA level testing, translating requirements into actionable tests and pass/fail criteria. You will build test setups, validate interfaces, and drive data-driven decisions across multiple engineering teams.

You will lead test readiness activities, execute diverse tests, analyze results, and communicate findings to stakeholders, with travel up to 20% nationally or internationally.

Qualifications

• Experience developing test strategies and plans for complex hardware/software systems or systems of systems.
• 3+ years in hardware test, validation, electrical test, battery testing, or related engineering discipline.
• Experience with electrical lab equipment such as power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, DMMs, DAQs, battery cyclers.
• Experience analyzing engineering test data and communicating technical conclusions.
• Experience troubleshooting electrical hardware, test equipment, instrumentation, or automated test systems.
• Experience documenting test procedures, results, failures, and engineering findings.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Battery, Electrical, Systems, Mechanical, Software, Reliability, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to collect and understand test requirements.
• Translate product and subsystem requirements into test objectives, test cases, procedures, operating conditions, and measurable pass/fail criteria.
• Develop and maintain test plans for battery packs, PCBAs, battery management electronics, and associated electrical interfaces.
• Design, build, configure, and validate test setups using power supplies, electronic loads, battery cyclers, DAQs, oscilloscopes, DMMs, environmental chambers, and other laboratory equipment.
• Develop test fixtures, harnesses, instrumentation, and basic test automation as needed to support efficient and repeatable testing.
• Lead OK2Test and test readiness activities by confirming hardware configuration, test setup, instrumentation, software, procedures, safety controls, and data collection are ready before execution.
• Execute electrical, functional, performance, environmental, characterization, and reliability testing at the battery pack and PCBA levels.
• Monitor testing, identify abnormal behavior, troubleshoot test setup and hardware issues, and drive root cause investigations when failures occur.
• Analyze test data using engineering analysis tools and scripts to identify trends, anomalies, performance margins, and potential failure mechanisms.
• Clearly distinguish product failures from test equipment, instrumentation, software, or procedural issues.
• Document test results, deviations, failures, and engineering conclusions with strong data traceability.
• Generate final test reports summarizing test configuration, methodology, results, pass/fail assessment, anomalies, conclusions, and recommended next steps.
• Present results and technical findings to engineering stakeholders and support decisions on hardware readiness, design changes, and additional testing.
• Improve test methods, automation, data analysis, and laboratory processes to increase test quality, repeatability, and efficiency.
• Up to 20% travelling nationally and/or internationally.
