Job Description
Are you interested in applying your research experience, science and engineering knowledge, and data science skills to world-changing problems? Are you interested in utilizing remotely sensed information in the development of methods, models and systems for understanding weather event impacts on fulfillment and logistics? If so, then this is the job for you.

The Fulfillment Execution Data Science (FEDS) team is responsible for developing tools and models for our fulfillment network to provide analytical-based insights to help improve operational processes. We are looking for motivated scientists with strong modeling and analysis skills to join our team. You will be responsible for utilizing remotely sensed information, in conjunction with ground-based observations, to provide information on weather-related impacts applicable to our business. You will closely work with engineers, business stakeholders, research colleagues, and IT groups in incorporating the essential trade-offs within the models and take an active role in effectively communicating the recommendations to senior management. 

The qualified candidate will have a proven history of driving critical research and development and developing in-depth analytical understanding of weather impacts to systems. Tools will include understanding of remote sensing physics and the signal processing/statistical modeling of this information to develop real-world measurement products.

Basic Qualifications
  • PhD in Atmospheric Sciences/Meteorology or other Natural Sciences or Engineering program with emphasis on remote sensing research or equivalent experience.

​Preferred Qualifications
  • Deep understanding of remote sensing physics and the spatial, temporal characteristics.
  • Experience prototyping and developing software in traditional programming languages (C++/ Java/ Python/Perl.)
  • Experience implementing models and analysis tools through the use of high-level modeling languages (e.g. R, Julia, Matlab as examples).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with both technical and business people.
  • Strong problem solving ability and dealing with ambiguity.

BENEFITS
  • The rare opportunity to shape the future of supply-chain execution; to change the world by optimizing and reinventing transportation, fulfillment and logistics on a global scale.
