Full Job Description
Join Amazon's Last Mile Technology Revolution!
Are you ready to reshape the future of logistics? Join us in transforming how millions of packages reach their final destination through state-of-the-art technology and innovation!
The Last Mile Technology organization is pioneering advanced solutions that are revolutionizing Amazon Logistics (AMZL). Our mission is to create intelligent, efficient, and scalable systems that will transform the delivery experience. We're building the future of last-mile logistics while maintaining Amazon's highest standards for safety and reliability.
The Last Mile challenge is a fascinating blend of real-world complexity and technological innovation. We're tackling multidimensional problems that involve enabling AI agents to perceive and navigate complex delivery environments, understanding dynamic scenes through visual data, and adapting to everything from unexpected obstacles to varying weather and lighting conditions – all while ensuring every package arrives safely as per our promise.
As an Applied Scientist on our Last Mile Technology team, you'll be at the forefront of developing computer vision and perception systems that enable us to understand and interact with the physical world. You'll design and implement deep learning models for visual perception, build algorithms that enable decision-making, and create robust systems that allow AI agents to operate safely across diverse geographical areas. Your research must excel in environments ranging from dense urban centers to suburban neighborhoods, each presenting unique visual and navigational challenges that require innovative solutions in perception and control.
What Makes This Role Exciting:
Real-World Impact: Your computer vision models and control algorithms will power AI agents that deliver millions of packages to customers, making their lives better every day
Scale That Matters: Develop perception systems that operate across thousands of delivery agents in different cities, weather conditions, lighting scenarios, and dynamic environments
Innovation at Scale: Publish novel research and create entirely new approaches to visual perception, scene understanding, and control systems
End-to-End Science: Work on complete solutions from object detection and tracking to path planning and control, from sim-to-real transfer to real-world deployment and continuous learning from agent experiences
