Job Description
The Team:
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no lines and no checkout. You
simply use the Amazon Go app, credit card, or palm biometric to enter the store, take what you want from
our selection of fresh, delicious meals and grocery essentials, and go.
Our
checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by our Just Walk Out
Technology. It automatically detects when products are taken from or
returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When
you're done shopping, you just leave the store. Shortly after, we?ll
charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt. Check it out at
amazon.com/go. Designed and custom-built by Amazonians, our technology
uses computer vision, sensor fusion, and advanced machine learning.
Innovation is part of our DNA. We need people who want to join a
high-reaching program that continues to collaborate and push the state
of the art in computer vision, machine learning, distributed systems and
hardware design.
We are looking for excellent engineers that
epitomize technical and operational excellence ? that can drive
innovation and apply
technologies to solve real world
challenges.
As an experienced Electrical Engineer
within our team, you will engage with a skilled and accomplished
cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative technologies.
You will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to drive
key aspects of technology solution definition, execution and validation.
Full
cycle product development experience from inception through maturity is
important. Working simultaneously on projects in different phases is
common; you are able to demonstrate strong design and validation skills
in addition to the understanding of mechanics of ongoing operational
excellence and product support.
You are responsive, flexible, and able
to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.
The Role:
Everyone on the team
needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats and
work in a highly
collaborative environment that's more startup than a
big company. We
will need to tackle problems that span a variety of
domains: computer
vision, image recognition, machine learning, real-time
and distributed
systems.
You will tackle
challenging, novel situations every
day and, given the size of this
initiative, you will have the
opportunity to work with multiple
technical teams at Amazon in
different locations. You should be
comfortable with a high degree of
ambiguity and relish the idea of
solving problems that haven't been
solved at scale before. Along the
way, we guarantee that you will learn
a ton, have fun and make a
positive impact on millions of people.
