Original job description

Amazon Prime Air is seeking an Applied Scientist Manager to lead the team developing our next-generation drone navigation system. You will lead a team of 8–12 Applied Scientists, Research Scientists and Software Development Engineers who invent, model, develop, test, and deploy the state estimation algorithms.

Your team will own the full algorithm lifecycle: early prototypes and modeling, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, then flight test and deployment across a rapidly growing delivery network. You will also manage the feedback loop that brings real-world operational data back into the team to inform next generation of algorithm improvements.

Because our navigation software is safety-critical, you will work closely with the Controls, Perception, Safety, Simulation and Flight Test teams to deliver robust, fully verified algorithms. This role combines deep technical leadership with people leadership. You will hire and develop science-focused engineers, run a fast-paced agile development team and help shape the technical roadmap for autonomous navigation at Prime Air.

Key job responsibilities

Lead a team of 8–12 Applied Scientists, Research Scientists and Software Development Engineers developing novel navigation and state estimation algorithms, including Kalman filtering (EKF/UKF, error-state), tightly and loosely coupled GNSS/INS integration, multi-sensor fusion and observability analysis, integrity monitoring (RAIM, fault detection and exclusion), and visual navigation (VIO/VSLAM).
Drive day-to-day execution across the full development lifecycle: prototyping, modeling, simulation testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, flight test and deployment to the production fleet.
Lead the team in a scrum-style agile process: set sprint priorities, manage dependencies and deliver against program milestones.
Build mechanisms that capture operational learnings from our delivery network, such as flight data, anomalies and performance trends, and feed them into the requirements and design of each new generation of algorithms.
Set technical direction and raise the bar on scientific rigor.
Partner with Flight controls, Perception, Hardware, Safety, Simulation and Flight Operations teams to define interfaces, requirements and verification evidence.
Hire, mentor and develop Applied Scientists, Research Scientists and SDEs, building a diverse, high-performing team with a strong safety culture.
Communicate technical strategy, trade-offs, risks and results clearly in writing and in reviews with senior leadership.

Basic qualifications

PhD, or Master's degree and 6+ years of applied research experience
Experience directly managing scientists or machine learning engineers
Experience with the Scrum methodology (or similar alternatives) for agile software development
Experience programming in C++, Python, or related language Preferred qualifications
Experience communicating with users, other technical teams, and management to collect requirements, describe software product features, and technical designs
Experience hiring and growing top talent
Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations
Proficient in navigation related algorithm development (EKF/UKF, tightly vs. loosely coupled GNSS/INS), sensor fusion, observability, and integrity monitoring (RAIM, fault detection and exclusion).
