DESCRIPTION

A part of Amazon Robotics' Artificial Intelligence, Canvas Technology is using spatial AI to provide end-to-end autonomous delivery of goods. By using state-of-the-art cameras and other sensors, the system perceives its surroundings with unrivaled vision and fidelity. The system combines a mix of high-performance sensors with simultaneous localization and mapping software that builds and continuously updates maps in real-time, completely automatically. It has the capability to ‘see’ and identify different objects, people, vehicles, and places as it moves and react to moving people and vehicles in an intelligent way.

Work with a world-class team and help develop one of the most advanced 3D computer vision and machine learning systems in the world. You will work on our state-of-the-art real-time perception system utilizing sensors to localize, map, and navigate in complicated dynamic environments continuously over periods of months and years. The systems and algorithms that you help develop and maintain will be deployed in challenging real-world scenarios adding value to our customers. You'll be a key contributor to our top-tier computer vision team, have a huge impact in a developing machine learning technologies, and see your work come to life in autonomous vehicles.

We work closely with a number of different teams to deliver safe autonomous movement of goods. A successful candidate will have proficient technical ability, scientific vision, excellent project management skills, great communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a collaborative team environment.
