    Description

    The Edge Intelligence team, part of Amazon"s Connected Vehicles organization within Last Mile Technology, builds and operates real-time intelligence, perception, and camera/sensor fusion systems that run directly on deployed delivery devices. We bridge embedded hardware and cloud platforms to enable low-latency, reliable, and scalable intelligence at the edge, powering the in-vehicle experiences that keep drivers safe and deliveries efficient.

    We are building the next generation of smart delivery vehicles, both traditional and electric, combining IoT technologies, real-time data streams, and machine learning to deliver faster, safer, and better.

    Key job responsibilities

    • On-Device Applications: Design and develop applications that power in-vehicle experiences, improve safety, and enhance delivery efficiency across multiple device platforms
    • Edge Inference & ML: Build and optimize on-device inference pipelines for perception, sensor fusion, and real-time decision-making models, ensuring low-latency and high-reliability performance on resource-constrained hardware
    • Sensor & Camera Processing: Develop sensor ingestion frameworks and camera/signal processing pipelines that fuse data from multiple modalities (cameras, LiDAR, telematics, GPS) into actionable intelligence
    • Edge Runtime Optimization: Profile and optimize edge compute workloads for performance, memory, power consumption, and thermal constraints across heterogeneous hardware platforms
    • Device-to-Cloud Orchestration: Design and implement data pipelines that efficiently move telemetry, video, and sensor data from edge devices to cloud analytics platforms, balancing bandwidth, latency, and cost
    • Edge Telemetry & Observability: Build monitoring, logging, and alerting systems that provide real-time visibility into the health and performance of thousands of deployed edge devices
    • On-Device Map-Making: Contribute to on-device map-making models and localization systems that enable vehicles to understand and navigate their environment
    • Operational Excellence: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of your systems - from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and on-call support

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
