Amazon Robotics - Data Science Co-Op - Fall 2023

Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you’ll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply cutting edge advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers’ experiences in ways we can’t even imagine yet. We invent new improvements every day. We are Amazon Robotics and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun.
Amazon Robotics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, empowers a smarter, faster, more consistent customer experience through automation. Amazon Robotics automates fulfillment center operations using various methods of robotic technology including autonomous mobile robots, sophisticated control software, language perception, power management, computer vision, depth sensing, machine learning, object recognition, and semantic understanding of commands. We operate hundreds of buildings that employ hundreds of thousands of robots teaming up to perform sophisticated, large-scale missions.
There is a lot of exciting opportunities that are ahead of us. Amazon Robotics has a dedicated focus on research and development to continuously explore new opportunities to extend its product lines into new areas.
This role is a 6 month co-op to join AR full time (40 hours/week) from July - December 2023
The Co-op will be responsible for:

• Translating operational metrics into functional requirements for BI-tools, models, and reporting - Collaborating with cross functional teams to automate AR problem detection and diagnostics
• Diving deep into operational data and metrics to identify and communicate trends used to drive development of new tools for supportability

The Co-op must:

• Must be eligible and available for a full-time (40h / week) 6-month co-op between July to December 2023
• Be currently enrolled in college/university and must have at least one semester/term/quarter of school left to complete after the end of the co-op

About the team
The Amazon Robotics Data Science team team builds models, runs simulation experiments and delivers analyses that are central to understanding performance of the entire AR system, e.g. operational and software scaling characteristics, bottlenecks, robustness to “chaos monkey” stresses - we inform critical engineering and business decisions about Amazon’s approach to robotic fulfillment.

• MS in Data Science, Statistics, Operations Research, or in highly quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Operations Research, Systems Engineering, Physics), or BS with 3 years of experience.
• Prior industry experience
