　　Working at Amazon Robotics

　　Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you’ll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply cutting-edge advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers’ experiences in ways we can’t even imagine yet. We invent new improvements every day. We are Amazon Robotics and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun.

　　Position Overview

　　The Amazon Robotics (AR) Software Research and Science team builds and runs simulation experiments and delivers analyses that are central to understanding the performance of the entire AR system. This includes operational and software scaling characteristics, bottlenecks, and robustness to “chaos monkey” stresses -- we inform critical engineering and business decisions about Amazon’s approach to robotic fulfillment.

　　We are seeking a Data Scientist to design, evangelize, and implement state-of-the-art solutions for never-before-solved problems. The Scientist will work closely with other research and robotics experts to design and run experiments, research new algorithms, and find new ways to improve Amazon Robotics analytics to optimize the Customer experience. They will partner with technology and product leaders to solve business problems using scientific approaches. They will build new tools and invent business insights that surprise and delight our customers. They will work to quantify system performance at scale, and to expand the breadth and depth of our analysis to increase the ability of software components and warehouse processes. They will work to evolve our library of key performance indicators and construct experiments that efficiently root cause emergent behaviors. They will engage with software development teams and warehouse design engineers to drive the evolution of the AR system, as well as the simulation engine that supports our work.

　　Inclusive Team Culture

　　Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have 12 affinity groups (employee resource groups) with more than 87,000 employees across hundreds of chapters around the world. We have innovative benefit offerings and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which reminds team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

　　Flexibility

　　It isn’t about which hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We offer flexibility and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

　　Mentorship & Career Growth

　　We care about your career growth too. Whether your goals are to explore new technologies, take on bigger opportunities, or get to the next level, we'll help you get there. Our business is growing fast and our people will grow with it.

　　A day in the life

　　If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!
