Sr. Applied Scientist - Computer Vision, Amazon Robotics

Job ID: 2817518 | Amazon.com Services LLCDo you want to create the greatest-possible worldwide impact in Robotics? Amazon has the world's most exciting treasure trove of robotics challenges. At Amazon Robotics we build high-performance, real-time robotic systems that can perceive, learn, and act intelligently alongside humans—at Amazon scale. Amazon Robotics invents and scales AI systems for robotics in fulfillment. Our mission is to enable robots to interact safely, efficiently, and fluently in high-density real-world fulfillment centers. Our AI solutions enable robots to learn from their own experiences, from each other, and from humans to build intelligence that feeds itself.We hire and develop subject matter experts in AI with a focus on computer vision, deep learning, semi-supervised and unsupervised learning. We target high-impact algorithmic unlocks in areas such as scene and activity understanding, large scale generative models, closed-loop control, robotic grasping and manipulation—all of which have high-value impact for our current and future fulfillment networks.We are seeking enthusiastic, hands-on, seasoned Senior Applied Scientists who will be deep in code and algorithms; who are technically strong in building scalable computer vision systems across item understanding, pose estimation, class imbalanced classifiers, identification and segmentation. As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will contribute to the research and development of advanced robotic systems; your work along with other top-notch scientists and engineers will deliver the world's most scalable and robust robotic systems. You will drive ideas to products using paradigms such as deep learning, semi-supervised learning, and active learning.As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will also help lead and mentor our team of applied scientists and engineers. You will take on challenging customer problems, distill customer requirements, and then deliver solutions that either leverage existing academic and industrial research or utilize your own out-of-the-box but pragmatic thinking. A successful candidate has excellent technical depth, scientific vision, project management skills, great communication skills, and a drive to achieve results in a collaborative team environment.You should enjoy the process of solving real-world problems that, quite frankly, haven’t been solved at scale anywhere before. Along the way, we guarantee you’ll get opportunities to be a fearless disruptor, prolific innovator, and a reputed problem solver—someone who truly enables AI and robotics to significantly impact the lives of millions of consumers.Key job responsibilities
