A customer may encounter a recommendation that is irrelevant, two widgets offering similar products, and confusing labels. Customers notice all of it. The ranking systems that chose those impressions largely do not, because until recently there was no way to turn a judgment about how a page feels into a signal a model could learn from. LLMs changed that. We can now take an ambiguous statement about customer perception, make it a judgment that holds up consistently at scale, and validate it against what shoppers actually do next. What we cannot do is call a large model in a ranking request path at large scale. Every shopping session passes through those systems under latency and cost budgets that leave no room for one. So we can describe quality far better than we can optimize for it, and closing that gap is what this role exists to do. You will distill LLM quality judgments into models compact enough to serve online, model how customers respond to the defects they encounter so we know which ones are worth trading engagement to prevent, and work with Search, Homepage and Detail Page ranking teams to get those signals into online objectives. Scientists on this team own the measurement side of the problem. You own the half that turns their judgments into systems that act and test them in controlled experiments. It is an unusual combination of problems: research-grade modeling with an unambiguous production bar, on surfaces where the change you ship is visible to nearly every Amazon customer. Key job responsibilities - You will model how customers respond to the defects they encounter. Using newly instrumented logging data, you will build representations of customer sessions from page sequences, intent signals, and quality exposures, and quantify what changes downstream when a customer meets an irrelevant recommendation, a set of near-duplicate widgets, or a confusing label early in a journey. You will identify the contextual factors that mediate that impact, including session intent, category, device, and prior interactions, and turn the results into a ranking of which defects are worth trading engagement to prevent, on which surfaces, for which customers. - You will distill LLM quality judgments into models compact enough to serve online. That means training compact models against LLM-generated labels, characterizing where the student diverges from its teacher and on which segments, and holding accuracy under the latency and cost budgets of Search, Homepage, and Detail Page ranking. Where a distilled model cannot meet that bar, you will say so early and propose what would. - You will work with Search, Homepage, and Detail Page ranking teams to get those signals into online objectives. You will analyze which of those systems offers the most leverage, recommend where to invest first, and design quality-aware objective formulations that trade impression quality against engagement deliberately, replacing the current pattern of suspending a strategy after a problem surfaces. - You will prove all of it in controlled experiments. You will design the experiment, choose the right success metrics metrics and make the call on what ships. About the team Core Shopping Data Science owns the measurement of shopping quality across Amazon’s Homepage, Search, and Detail Page experiences, including the company-level defect metrics reviewed by Amazon’s most senior leadership. We build the metrics, tools, and datasets that teams across Stores and Advertising use to decide what to ship. We are a small team, which means your work is visible and your scope grows as fast as you do.

Join us at the forefront of Amazon's sustainability initiatives to work on environmental and social advancements that support Amazon's long-term worldwide sustainability strategy. At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people who are passionate about making a meaningful impact on communities and the environment while helping shape the future of sustainable business practices. The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon's scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable. Through innovative programs and strategic partnerships, we're creating lasting positive change in the communities where we operate while advancing Amazon's commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility. We are looking for a robotics scientist to build and operate the first autonomous materials discovery laboratory at Amazon. This role combines deep robotics expertise (motion planning, control, platform integration) with modern Physical AI approaches (vision-language-action models, sim-to-real transfer, agentic orchestration). You will design autonomous experimental workflows that integrate dexterous robotic platforms, analytical instruments, and AI-driven hypothesis generation into a closed-loop discovery pipeline — where foundation models drive hypothesis generation and experimental planning, validated on real hardware under real chemistry. This is not a pure research role. You will work directly with physical robots, laboratory instruments, and deployment pipelines. The work is expected to be published, but the primary measure of success is a working autonomous platform that generates scientific results. Materials science expertise is not required — the team includes domain scientists. What matters is strong AI and robotics foundations, scientific curiosity, and the drive to ship. Key job responsibilities - Develop, train, and benchmark robotic manipulation policies for materials synthesis and characterization using modern policy architectures (VLA architectures, diffusion policies). - Design and execute sim-to-real transfer strategies including domain randomization, physics parameter tuning, and visual domain adaptation for laboratory robotic systems. - Integrate robotic platforms and laboratory instruments into automated workflows via APIs (SiLA 2, or equivalent), building real-time data pipelines for multimodal experimental outputs. - Architect policy training pipelines combining teleoperation data, synthetic demonstrations, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning for dexterous lab manipulation. - Build production-grade agentic runtime systems — failure detection, retry logic, exception handling, and human-handoff protocols — for unattended experimental sessions. - Design and execute autonomous experimental campaigns applying active learning, Bayesian optimization, or RL to drive iterative materials discovery. - Drive technical design reviews and set scientific direction for the autonomous lab platform. A day in the life You build the Physical AI systems that power robotics in autonomous science lab, one where foundation models generate hypotheses, robots execute experiments, and closed-loop optimization discovers materials that did not exist yesterday. You train manipulation policies in simulation, transfer them to a physical cobot, and watch real chemistry validate (or invalidate) an AI-generated theory. The signal here is not a metric on a dashboard; it is a synthesizing and testing novel material with measurable sustainability impact. If you want your research to have physical weight, this is the lab. About the team Sustainability Science and Innovation (SSI) is a multi-disciplinary research team within WW Sustainability combining science, ML, economics, and engineering. The autonomous laboratory is a new capability being built from the ground up. You will work alongside computational materials scientists, chemists, and ML engineers — with access to AWS-scale compute and Amazon's supply chain for hardware. The work targets sustainability outcomes across packaging, building materials, and alternative fuels.
