Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of diversity and inclusion of our teams within the organization. How do you get items to customers quickly, cost-effectively, and—most importantly—safely, in less than an hour? And how do you do it in a way that can scale? Our teams of hundreds of scientists, engineers, aerospace professionals, and futurists have been working hard to do just that! We are delivering to customers, and are excited for what’s to come. Check out more information about Prime Air on the About Amazon blog (https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/transportation/amazon-prime-air-delivery-drone-reveal-photos). If you are seeking an iterative environment where you can drive innovation, apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve real world delivery challenges, and provide benefits to customers, Prime Air is the place for you. Come work on the Amazon Prime Air Team! Prime Air's Flight Sciences High-Fidelity Methods (HFM) team is seeking an outstanding Applied Scientist to develop and verify drone systems models and flight physics models. These models form the backbone of every flight simulation performed within Prime Air, directly informing aircraft design, system verification, certification, and business decisions. The HFM team's work enables prediction of critical vehicle performance metrics—including range, maneuverability, tracking error, and aircraft stability—and connects vehicle design and operational decisions to business outcomes such as customer reachability. Our models are also a crucial input to the design of flight control algorithms and software verification. Because the accuracy and reliability of these models underpin so many facets of Prime Air's mission, the scientist in this role will have broad, high-visibility impact on the program's success. Key job responsibilities The Applied Scientist in this role will own the end-to-end lifecycle of simulation models—from development and deployment through verification and ongoing maintenance. This begins with gathering downstream customer needs, selecting the most suitable modeling approach and level of fidelity, and coordinating the generation of input data. It extends through model training, development and maintenance of software interfaces, and verification of model accuracy. A core aspect of this role is determining the right modeling approach for a given physical phenomenon. The scientist will need a working understanding of the physics and systems being modeled, including vehicle aerodynamics, propeller performance, multibody dynamics, atmospheric physics, electric powertrain components, and guidance and navigation system (GNS) sensors. They will design experiments to generate the data needed to build and verify models, and apply uncertainty quantification and statistical analyses to validate model fidelity.

Build research prototypes end-to-end: from problem formulation through scalable implementation to production validation. Analyse complex tradeoffs (cost, speed, capacity) and translate findings into actionable recommendations for leadership and operations teams. Collaborate with engineers to bring science solutions into production systems serving millions of customer orders daily. A day in the life You formulate an optimization problem on a whiteboard with teammates, then prototype it in Python with real data by the afternoon. You run experiments against production-scale datasets, iterate on the model, and present results to stakeholders who will use them to make network decisions next week. Some days you dive deep into solver performance; other days you're explaining a Pareto frontier to an operations leader. You collaborate with large engineering and product teams to bring your solutions into systems serving millions of customers. Alongside fast-turnaround prototypes, you own long-term research bets, the kind that reshape how Amazon's fulfillment network operates at scale. Your work goes live. About the team SCOT Fulfillment Optimization Science & Tech (FO SnT) is the applied research team behind Amazon's fulfillment decision-making systems. We decide how orders get assigned to warehouses, how capacity is allocated across the network, and how cost and speed tradeoffs are managed in real time, at global scale. Our models influence billions of euros in annual operational spend. They protect sites from overload during peak, reduce transportation costs and CO2 emissions, and ensure customers receive their packages when promised. Leadership relies on our science to make investment decisions worth hundreds of millions. We are practitioners of large-scale optimization: MIP formulations, decomposition methods, approximation algorithms, and parallelisation. We use machine learning where it sharpens our decisions, including forecasting, learned heuristics, and multi-armed bandits. We pick the right tool for the problem, not the fashionable one. You will work alongside Senior and Principal scientists, and collaborate with Amazon Scholars and academic partners who bring frontier research into our applied problems. We code our prototypes to be production-ready and collaborate with large engineering teams to ship systems, not papers. Above all, we have fun solving hard real-world problems at real-world speed, failing, learning, and shipping along the way.
