Full Job Description
As an Applied Scientist on the Science SW team, you will be a versatile generalist who collaborates closely with other scientists and engineers teams to bring

research to production across a broad portfolio of problems: from computer-vision perception platforms to building-wide optimization and orchestration. This role combines the scientific application of ML and applied mathematics with a strong product focus. It will be your job to frame ambiguous business problems as tractable scientific problems, and to implement novel ML systems, first-principles models, embedded systems prototypes, and performance optimizations in both prototype and production environments.

Key job responsibilities
• Own the research and development of scientific and ML solutions across a broad range of problems spanning classical machine learning, statistical modeling, computer vision, optimization, and physics-informed / first-principles modeling in a production environment.
• Rapidly ramp on unfamiliar problem domains, frame ambiguous or open-ended business problems as tractable scientific problems, and prototype solutions end to end.
• Prototype and evaluate sensing hardware and lightweight, edge-deployable models that run on commodity compute under real-world constraints.
• Collaborate across multiple science and engineering teams to integrate your solutions into our deployment architecture.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a Advanced degree in engineering, technology, computer science, machine learning, robotics, operations research, statistics, mathematics or equivalent quantitative field

- Experience with programming languages such as Python, Java, C++

- Strong foundation in applied mathematics, statistics, and machine learning, with the versatility to work across multiple problem domains rather than a single specialization.

- Experience with popular deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and the scientific Python stack (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, pandas).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- PhD with a demonstrated track record of solving problems across more than one domain (e.g., computer vision, statistical modeling, optimization, signal processing, controls, or physical modeling).

- Experience with computer vision and/or physics-informed and first-principles modeling.

- Hands-on hardware prototyping experience (sensors, cameras, embedded / edge compute) and experience optimizing models for resource-constrained hardware.

- Publications at peer-reviewed venues (e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or the leading venues in the candidate's home discipline).

The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
