Have you ever wondered how Amazon predicts delivery times and ensures your orders arrive exactly when promised? Have you wondered where all those Amazon semi-trucks on the road are headed? Are you passionate about increasing efficiency and reducing carbon footprint? Does the idea of having worldwide impact on Amazon's multimodal logistics network that includes planes, trucks, and vans sound exciting to you? Are you interested in developing Generative AI solutions using state-of-the-art LLM techniques to revolutionize how Amazon optimizes the fulfillment of millions of customer orders globally with unprecedented scale and precision? If so, then we want to talk with you! Join our team to apply the latest advancements in Generative AI to enhance our capability and speed of decision making.
Fulfillment Planning & Execution (FPX) Science team within SCOT- Fulfillment Optimization owns and operates optimization, machine learning, and simulation systems that continually optimize the fulfillment of millions of products across Amazon’s network in the most cost-effective manner, utilizing large scale optimization, advanced machine learning techniques, big data technologies, and scalable distributed software on the cloud that automates and optimizes inventory and shipments to customers under the uncertainty of demand, pricing, and supply. The team has embarked on its Generative AI to build the next-generation AI agents and LLM frameworks to promote efficiency and improve productivity.
We’re looking for a passionate, results-oriented, and inventive machine learning scientist who can design, build, and improve models for our outbound transportation planning systems. You will work closely with our product managers and software engineers to disambiguate complex supply chain problems and create ML / AI solutions to solve those problems at scale. You will work independently in an ambiguous environment while collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive forward innovation in the Generative AI space.
The position is located at Bellevue, WA, just next to Seattle with beautiful outdoors and great city life.

A day in the life
You will have the opportunity to learn how Amazon plans for and executes within its logistics network including Fulfillment Centers, Sort Centers, and Delivery Stations. In this role, you will design and develop Machine Learning / AI models with significant scope, impact, and high visibility. You will focus on designing, developing, and deploying Generative AI solutions at scale that will improve efficiency, increase productivity, accelerate development, automate manual tasks, and deliver value to our internal customers. Your solutions will impact business segments worth many-billions-of-dollars and geographies spanning multiple countries and markets. From day one, you will be working with bar raising scientists, engineers, and designers. You will also collaborate with the broader science community in Amazon to broaden the horizon of your work. Successful candidates must thrive in fast-paced environments, which encourage collaborative and creative problem solving, be able to measure and estimate risks, constructively critique peer research, and align research focuses with the Amazon's strategic needs. We look for individuals who know how to deliver results and show a desire to develop themselves, their colleagues, and their career.

About the team
FPX Science tackles some of the most mathematically complex challenges in transportation planning and execution space to improve Amazon's operational efficiency worldwide at a scale that is unique to Amazon. We own the long-term and intermediate-term planning of Amazon’s global fulfillment centers and transportation network as well as the short-term network planning and execution that determines the optimal flow of customer orders through Amazon fulfillment network. FPX science team is a group of scientists with different technical backgrounds including Machine Learning and Operations Research, who will collaborate closely with you on your projects. Our team directly supports multiple functional areas across SCOT - Fulfillment Optimization and the research needs of the corresponding product and engineering teams. We disambiguate complex supply chain problems and create innovative data-driven solutions to solve those problems at scale with a mix of science-based techniques including Operations Research, Simulation, Machine Learning, and AI to tackle some of our biggest technical challenges. In addition, we are incorporating the latest advances in Generative AI and LLM techniques in how we design, develop, enhance, and interpret the results of these science models.
