Sr. Research Scientist, Amazon Transportation Services (NEST) Science
Amazon.com Services LLC, Bellevue, Washington
About the job
Have you ever placed an order on Amazon and wondered how it got to you so fast? Behind that speed is one of the most complex transportation networks in the world, and the scientific problems it poses are hard, ambiguous, and largely unsolved. We are looking for a senior research scientist who wants to invent the models that run it.
Come join the Network Engineering, Scheduling and Technology (NEST) Science team within Amazon Transportation Services. We are looking for a Sr. Research Scientist to lead the design and development of novel mathematical models that govern how Amazon's Middle Mile network operates. You will work on scientifically complex, poorly structured problems in network planning, scheduling, and transportation operations, inventing and extending techniques from operations research, machine learning, stochastic modeling, and simulation to solve them. This is a modeling-first role: your primary output is rigorous, original scientific work that reduces transportation cost and improves customer experience at scale.
