Job summary

Amazon is seeking an Applied Scientist in Computational Modeling within the OMHS SCS group in Massachusetts. You will frame business problems as tractable scientific questions and implement ML systems, first-principles models, and edge prototypes in production environments.

You will work across computer vision, optimization, physics-informed modeling, and real-time orchestration to improve fulfillment operations, collaborating with multiple science and engineering teams to deploy solutions at

Qualifications

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, an Advanced degree in engineering, technology, computer science, machine learning, robotics, operations research, statistics, mathematics or equivalent quantitative field
• Experience with programming languages such as Python, Java, C++
• Strong foundation in applied mathematics, statistics, and machine learning, with the versatility to work across multiple problem domains rather than a single specialization
• Experience with popular deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and the scientific Python stack (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, pandas)

Responsibilities

• Own the research and development of scientific and ML solutions across a broad range of problems spanning classical machine learning, statistical modeling, computer vision, optimization, and physics-informed / first-principles modeling in a production environment.
• Rapidly ramp on unfamiliar problem domains, frame ambiguous or open-ended business problems as tractable scientific problems, and prototype solutions end to end.
• Prototype and evaluate sensing hardware and lightweight, edge-deployable models that run on commodity compute under real-world constraints.
• Collaborate across multiple science and engineering teams to integrate your solutions into our deployment architecture.
