Description

　　Are you excited about developing generative AI and foundation models to revolutionize automation, robotics and computer vision? Are you looking for opportunities to build and deploy them on real problems at truly vast scale? At Amazon Fulfillment Technologies and Robotics we are on a mission to build high-performance autonomous systems that perceive and act to further improve our world-class customer experience - at Amazon scale. We are looking for scientists, engineers and program managers for a variety of roles.

　　The Amazon Robotics software team is seeking a Applied Scientist to focus on large vision and manipulation machine learning models. This includes building multi-viewpoint and time-series computer vision systems. It includes using machine learning to drive hardware movement. It includes building large-scale models using data from many different tasks and scenes. This work spans from basic research such as cross domain training, to experimenting on prototype in the lab, to running wide-scale A/B tests on robots in our facilities.

　　Key job responsibilities

　　Research vision - Where should we be focusing our efforts

　　Research delivery – Proving/dis-proving strategies in offline data or in the lab

　　Production studies - Insights from production data or ad-hoc experimentation.

　　About the team

　　This team invents and runs robots focused on grasping and packing items. These are typically 6-dof style robotic arms. Our work ranges from the long-term-research on basic science to deploying/supporting large production fleets handling billions of items per year.

　　We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:

　　Arlington, VA, USA | North Reading, MA, USA | Seattle, WA, USA

　　Basic Qualifications

　　3+ years of building models for business application experience

　　PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience

　　Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals

　　Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language

　　Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing

　　Preferred Qualifications

　　Experience developing and implementing deep learning algorithms, particularly with respect to computer vision algorithms

　　Experience with modeling tools such as R, scikit-learn, Spark MLLib, MxNet, Tensorflow, numpy, scipy etc.

　　Experience with large scale machine learning systems such as profiling and debugging and understanding of system performance and scalability

　　Experience with large scale models including multi-machine model training and evaluation, training efficiency analysis, and distilling models for production deployment

　　Experience with cross-domain/multi-task model training including datasets from diverse sources, balancing many axes of measurement in evaluation, and deploying to multiple products.
