Principal TPM, Amazon Fulfillment Technology, Amazon Fulfillment Technologies

Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers Amazon’s global fulfillment network by designing and building the software, hardware and processes that enable our customers to get what they want, when they want it. We put innovation into action, working alongside our employees in the Fulfillment Centers to move billions of customer orders globally. AFT is creating the future of fulfillment, and we are looking for people with big ideas and the drive to see them at work in the real world. If you’re ready to innovate on a global scale, join us! When a human looks at a picture of an item, they can easily identify what the item is and understand how to pick it up. Robots and every fulfillment process from procurement through delivery rely on an understanding of an item’s physical characteristics to make efficient fulfillment decisions. Our vision is to teach our systems to do what comes naturally to humans- identify items, describe them, and make fast, informed choices. To solve these challenges at scale, we leverage a rich set of data including measurements, images, point clouds, and beyond. We then use a variety of techniques including computer vision, machine learning, and advanced statistics to create actionable insights for automated decision making and improved customer experience. A successful candidate will be highly analytical, resourceful, customer-focused, team oriented, and will have an ability to work independently under time constraints to meet deadlines. You will have an established background in developing customer-facing experiences, strong technical capabilities, great leadership communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast paced environment.
