Are you interested in working with top talents in Optimization, Operations Research and Supply Chain to help Amazon to efficiently match our Devices with worldwide customers?
We have challenging problems and need your innovative solutions to make tremendous financial impacts!
The Amazon Demand Science Optimization organization is looking for an Applied Scientist with background in Operations Research, Optimization, Supply Chain and / or Simulation to support science efforts to integrate across inventory management functionalities.
Our team is responsible for science models (both deterministic and stochastic) that power world-wide inventory allocation for Amazon Devices business that includes Echo, Kindle, Fire Tablets, Amazon TVs, Amazon Fire TV sticks, Ring, and other smart home devices.
We formulate and solve challenging large-scale financially-based optimization problems which ingest demand forecasts and produce optimal procurement, production, distribution, and inventory management plans.
In addition, we also work closely with the demand forecasting, material procurement, production planning, finance, and logistics teams to co-optimize the inventory management and supply chain for Amazon Devices given operational constraints.
Key job responsibilities
The successful candidate will be a self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, with strong attention to detail, and an ability to work in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment and a desire to help shape the overall business.
Responsibilities include :
- Design and develop advanced mathematical, simulation, and optimization models and apply them to define strategic and tactical needs and drive appropriate business and technical solutions in the areas of inventory management and distribution, network flow, supply chain optimization, and demand planning
- Apply mathematical optimization techniques (linear, quadratic, SOCP, robust, stochastic, dynamic, mixed-integer programming, network flows, nonlinear, nonconvex programming) and algorithms to design optimal or near optimal solution methodologies to be used by in-house decision support tools and software
- Research, prototype and experiment with these models by using modeling languages such as Python; participate in the production level deployment
- Create, enhance, and maintain technical documentation, and present to other Scientists, Product, and Engineering teams
- Lead project plans from a scientific perspective by managing product features, technical risks, milestones and launch plans
