Job summary

Amazon Inc. is seeking a Vision Systems Engineer to lead perception solutions from customer problem to deployed system.

You’ll work at the intersection of sensors, ML, and compute hardware, shaping products that operate at massive scale. In this role you’ll bridge customers and engineering teams, translate requirements into specs, and determine suitable sensors, ML models, and compute platforms for edge, cloud, or hybrid deployments.

Responsibilities

• Engage directly with customers to understand perception and sensing requirements, and translate those into clear, quantifiable engineering specifications
• Evaluate and recommend sensor technologies (cameras, depth sensors, barcode readers) for each application, performing trade off analysis on resolution, frame rate, field of view, cost, and reliability
• Define the ML model requirements for perception tasks such as depth estimation, object detection, damage detection, and barcode reading
• Profile compute resource needs (processing power, memory, accelerators, power consumption) for running inference models and determine optimal deployment locations (edge, cloud, hybrid)
• Communicate hardware requirements including power budgets, memory bandwidth, thermal constraints, and I/O interfaces to hardware engineering teams
• Author system architecture documents, interface control documents, and technical trade studies
• Drive cross functional alignment between software, hardware, and product teams to ensure customer requirements are met end to end
• Support lab and field activities related to sensor integration, system validation, and performance characterization
• Identify technical risks early in the design cycle and propose mitigation strategies that balance performance, cost, and schedule
