Job Description:
As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions Core Services
organization, we're advancing the frontier of geospatial
intelligence and AI-powered spatial reasoning. Our vision is to be
the trusted foundation for transforming every business with Amazon
AI teammates. Our mission is to deliver turnkey, enterprise-grade
foundational AI capabilities that create delightful AI powered
solutions. We're building sophisticated AI systems that enable
intelligent agents to understand and operate effectively in the
physical world through advanced geospatial optimization. Key job
responsibilities - Develop geospatial optimization models that
generalize across diverse customer use cases in logistics,
transportation, and spatial planning - Scope optimization projects
with multiple customers in mind, abstracting away complex science
problems to create scalable solutions - Discover, evaluate, and
adapt existing optimization models and geospatial tools for
customer deployment - Develop semantic enrichment methods to
integrate heterogeneous data sources including open geospatial
data, multimodal sensor data, images, videos, satellite imagery,
and documents - Research novel approaches combining AI agents with
geospatial optimization to solve complex spatial problems -
Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate science components
into production systems - Conduct rigorous experimentation and
establish evaluation frameworks to measure solution performance A
day in the life A day in the life As an Applied Scientist, you'll
develop optimization algorithms and AI-powered geospatial solutions
while maintaining a clear path to customer impact. You'll
investigate novel approaches to spatial optimization, develop
methods for semantic data enrichment, and validate ideas through
rigorous experimentation with real customer data. You'll
collaborate with other scientists and engineers to transform
research insights into scalable solutions, work directly with
enterprise customers to understand requirements, and help shape the
future direction. Leveraging and advancing generative AI technology
will be a big part of your charter. About the team Our Applied AI
Solutions Core Services Science team is tackling fundamental
challenges in geospatial optimization and AI-powered spatial
reasoning. We're investigating novel approaches to how AI systems
can solve complex logistics and transportation problems, reason
about spatial relationships, and integrate diverse data sources to
create enterprise-grade geospatial intelligence. Working at the
intersection of optimization, large language models, and geospatial
data science, we're developing practical techniques that advance
the state-of-the-art in geospatial AI. - PhD, or Master's degree
