Applied Scientist II, Inbound Forecasting
Job ID: 2799516 | Amazon.com Services LLCAmazon has the world’s most complex supply chain: we fulfill global demand for hundreds of millions of products at lightning fast delivery speeds. A core part of the operations is forecasting: We forecast the demand of hundreds of millions of products up to a year into the future. The forecasts are used to automatically order hundreds of millions worth of inventory weekly, decide where to place that inventory, and to establish labor plans for hundreds of warehouses.The Applied Scientist II will work with the Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) Forecasting team and both business and engineering stakeholders worldwide to develop state of art machine learning models to forecast inbound shipment. The scientist develops novel algorithmic architectures, toward the ultimate goal of accurately predicting when and how Amazon receives shipments of millions of products world-wide. This drives down costs and enables the offer of lower prices and better in-stock selection for our customers.Working collaboratively, you will develop solutions to complex problems, such as designing the next generation of algorithms. As an Applied Scientist, you will continue to contribute to the research community, by working with other scientists across Amazon, as well as collaborating with academic researchers and publishing papers. Within SCOT Forecasting, our Science community values teamwork and recognizes the need to take chances and try new ideas that may fail. Furthermore, our builder culture means that Scientists and Software Development Engineers work closely together to invent and construct at a massive scale. Your work can be part of Amazon production system and result in concrete business impact.Key job responsibilities
Design, implement, and evaluate innovative models, agents, and software prototypes.Collaborate with a team of experienced scientists to drive technological advancements.Develop novel solutions to complex business problems in collaboration with partner teams.Constructively critique peer research and mentor junior scientists and engineers.Contribute to Amazon's global science community through collaboration and publication of groundbreaking research.About the team
Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) owns Amazon’s global inventory planning systems.
