    Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. This position is part of the Satellite Attitude Determination and Control team. You will design and analyze the control system and algorithms, support development of our flight hardware and software, help integrate the satellite in our labs, participate in flight operations, and see a constellation of satellites flow through the production line into orbit. Key job responsibilities Key job responsibilities Design and analyze algorithms for estimation, flight control, and precise pointing using linear methods and simulation. Develop and apply models and simulations, with various levels of fidelity, of the satellite and our constellation. Component level environmental testing, functional and performance checkout, subsystem integration, satellite integration, and in space operations. Manage the spacecraft constellation as it grows and evolves. Continuously improve our ability to serve customers by maximizing payload operations time. Develop autonomy for Fault Detection and Isolation on board the spacecraft. A day in the life This is an opportunity to play a significant role in the design of an entirely new satellite system with challenging performance requirements. The large, integrated constellation brings opportunities for advanced capabilities that need investigation and development. The constellation size also puts emphasis on engineering excellence so our tools and methods, from conceptualization through manufacturing and all phases of test, will be state of the art as will the satellite and supporting infrastructure on the ground. You will find that Amazon Leo's mission is compelling, so our program is staffed with some of the top engineers in the industry. Our daily collaboration with other teams on the program brings constant opportunity for discovery, learning, and growth. About the team Our team has lots of experience with various satellite systems and many other flight vehicles. We have bench strength in both our mission and core GNC disciplines. We design, prototype, test, iterate and learn together. Because GNC is central to safe flight, we tend to drive Concepts of Operation and many system level analyses.

    Are you a scientist who wants to define how AI remembers people, their loved ones, their unique preferences, and the moments that matter? Are you passionate about NLP, large language models, information retrieval, and entity understanding? Do you want to build systems that learn who the people in a customer's life are, what each of them cares about, and retrieve the right knowledge at the right moment? Do you want access to massive datasets, world-class compute, and the freedom to reason from first principles on novel problems? If any of this excites you, we'd love to talk. Our team is part of Amazon's Personalization organization, building the memory layer that powers how Amazon understands and personalizes for individual customers and their household members. We work at the intersection of NLP, LLMs, entity resolution, and retrieval — disaggregating preferences for each and every customer and their loved ones, and surfacing the most relevant knowledge to power experiences across Amazon that personalize more deeply than ever before. We are a central personalization team, partnering directly with organizations across Amazon to shape how personalization works at scale for years to come. Key job responsibilities As an Applied Scientist in our team, you will be responsible for the research, design, and development of new AI technologies for personalization. You will adopt or invent new machine learning and analytical techniques in the realm of recommendations, information retrieval and large language models. You will collaborate with scientists, engineers, and product partners locally and abroad. Your work will include inventing, experimenting with, and launching new features, products and systems.

    Define the joint optimization of model compression and silicon architecture for Amazon's next generation of edge and cloud inference accelerators. Your work will set the technical targets that propagate across the model, compiler, runtime, and silicon stack. We are hiring a Principal Applied Scientist to be the technical leader who closes the loop between compression science and silicon design. Today's generation ships advanced quantization and large-model distillation in production, running multi-billion parameter language models at inference economics typical of much larger systems. Future generations target significantly larger models at the edge and in the cloud. You will be a principal architect of the next-generation accelerator and of the compression algorithms it executes natively. Few roles in the industry let one technical leader influence the model, the compiler, the runtime, and the silicon without organizational friction. This is one of them. You have spent the last several years thinking about why hardware decisions and accuracy decisions live in different teams, and you want to be the person who owns both. You have published at MLSys, ISCA, MICRO, NeurIPS, or ICML on quantization, pruning, or hardware-aware training, and you want your next paper to ship in a chip rather than in a benchmark suite. You want a vertical stack—model, compression, compiler, runtime, operating system, silicon—where the same engineering organization owns every layer and a principal architect can move all of them. Key job responsibilities • Define the hardware-aware compression roadmap for next-generation accelerators, working backward from accuracy targets on standard language and reasoning benchmarks including Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU), GSM8K, HumanEval, and Instruction Following Evaluation (IFEval). • Own the joint optimization of compression algorithms (post-training quantization, quantization-aware training, knowledge distillation, structured pruning) with the underlying hardware. • Represent applied science in silicon architecture reviews and influence decisions across the memory and compute subsystems of the accelerator. • Set the science roadmap for the compression techniques the next architecture must support; validate that compression algorithms achieve target accuracy on the benchmarks our products are evaluated against. • Mentor a team of senior and mid-level applied scientists working on compression and hardware-aware training. • Serve as a single-threaded technical leader for the codesign agenda, accountable to senior leadership review. About the team Amazon's Devices and Services organization has shipped multiple generations of first-party silicon for consumer devices. The differentiating intellectual property across this portfolio is a custom machine learning processor co-designed with the compression algorithms it runs. This role sits at the intersection of three teams. The Applied Science team produces compressed model checkpoints. The Silicon Engineering team designs the Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The Compiler and Runtime team lowers compressed models to silicon. You will be the principal architect who closes the loop across all three.
