We’re looking for a Sr Systems Engineer with software experience who combines superb technical, analytical, and operational capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. Shape the future of autonomous flight technology. At Amazon Prime Air, we're building revolutionary perception systems that enable drones to see, understand, and navigate the world around them. Our perception team is at the forefront of developing the "eyes and brain" of autonomous drones that can safely detect and avoid aircraft, precisely localize themselves, and navigate complex environments during delivery operations.

Job Responsibility:

  • Translate complex operational requirements into detailed system and subsystem specifications for our vision-based perception systems

  • Develop comprehensive requirements documentation that meets aviation certification standards while enabling rapid innovation
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (ML engineers, computer vision specialists, hardware engineers) to design and validate perception system architectures
  • Lead technical reviews to ensure perception systems meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements
  • Drive continuous improvement in how we develop and certify perception systems for autonomous flight

Requirements:

  • Experience developing requirements and system architectures for perception systems in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or aerospace applications
  • Strong background in computer vision, sensor fusion, or machine learning applications
  • Proven ability to decompose high-level requirements into detailed system specifications
  • Experience with regulatory certification processes (FAA or similar) is highly valuable
  • Exceptional analytical thinking and technical documentation skills
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across disciplines
  • 6+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  • Experience leading the design, build and deployment of complex and performant (reliable and scalable) software solutions in production
  • 6+ years of systems design, software development, operations, automation, and process improvement experience
What we offer:
  • sign-on payments
  • restricted stock units (RSUs)
  • health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
  • 401(k) matching
  • paid time off
  • parental leave
