Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Applied Scientist - Computer Vision, Amazon Robotics - **Company:** Amazon.com, Inc. - **Location:** Seattle, WA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $142,800.0 - $193,200.0 - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Business Software, C++ (Programming Language), Fault Tolerance, Python (Programming Language), Machine Learning, Robotic Automation Software, Visual Systems, Supervised Learning, Mobile Robots, Deep Learning, Unsupervised Learning - **Published:** September 3, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10526302/applied-scientist-computer-vision-amazon-robotics ## About the Role We hire and develop collaborative 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 a hands-on, seasoned Applied Scientists who will be deep in code and algorithms; who are technically strong in building scalable vision systems across item understanding, pose estimation, multi-view scene completion, class imbalanced classifiers, identification and segmentation. As a 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 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. In addition to coming up with novel solutions and prototypes, you will directly contribute to implementation while you lead. 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 disruptor, prolific innovator, and a reputed problem solver, someone who truly enables AI and robotics to significantly impact the lives of millions of consumers., 3+ years of building models for business application experience - PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience - Experience developing and implementing deep learning algorithms, particularly with respect to computer vision algorithms - Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals - Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language Preferred Qualifications - Experience in analysis of large volume of data to drive analysis and to make decisions - Knowledge of statistical modeling - Experience in a fast paced, dynamic organization - Experience communicating clearly and concisely with leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams - Extensive experience writing scientific papers, with multiple publications in top machine learning, computer vision or robotics conferences/journals, like CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, PAMI, NeurIPS, IROS, CoRL, etc. ## Description Architect, design, and implement Machine Learning models for vision systems on robotic platforms - Optimize, deploy, and support at scale ML models on the edge. Influence the team's strategy and contribute to long-term vision and roadmap. - Work with stakeholders across , science, and operations teams to iterate on design and implementation. - Maintain high standards by participating in reviews, designing for fault tolerance and operational excellence, and creating mechanisms for continuous improvement. - Prototype and test concepts or features, both through simulation and emulators and with live robotic equipment - Work directly with customers and partners to test prototypes and incorporate feedback - Mentor other engineer team members. ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
