Do you want to change lives by delivering a world-class level of service that will transform and revolutionize the traditional method of parcel delivery, through evolving technology? Amazon’s Geospatial and Sensor Intelligence team within Last Mile improves internal and external customer experience by architecting and operationalizing systems that assist the transporters in real-time on the road as well as enable large scale data processing based insight generation. These complex systems will provide optimization and enforce efficiency in parcel delivery that will continue to challenge the norms of transportation technology.
Our teams have recognized the unsolved problems, which range from the addition or modification of roads, leveraging single IMU sensor sources, parsing unstructured address, and other optimization obstacles. The key output metrics within this role include location and coverage accuracy of our road network for routing and users, predictive accuracy of offline systems, and the operational impact of delivery success and gaps between the above mentioned metrics.
If you are a Software Development Manager that enjoys working in an ever-evolving environment alongside solving complex problems with simplified solutions, the Geospatial and Sensor Intelligence team is waiting for YOU.
You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts, coordinating across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions. You will be expected to create a roadmap, align with business partners on prioritization, propose appropriate tradeoffs, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to leadership and stakeholders.
