Data Scientist Co-Op: July - December 2022
Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you’ll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply cutting edge advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers’ experiences in ways we can’t even image yet. We invent new improvements every day. We are Amazon Robotics and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun.
The Software, Solutions and Data Science team in Manufacturing Operations at Amazon Robotics is looking for an experienced, results-oriented Data Scientist Co-Op to solve difficult problems in manufacturing and supply chain. The data ranges from mechanical dimensional data to results of complex electro-mechanical tests, to supply chain and logistics optimization with a little bit of everything in between. Our team is looking for a data scientist to derive insights from this data and communicate the results though white papers, presentations, and production ready models. This role will interface with engineers in software, hardware test, manufacturing, and design. Our methods include design of experiments, statistical modeling, machine learning, financial analysis, and data visualization in a combined team of software engineering and data science.
This role is a 6 month co-op to join AR full time (40 hours/week) from July - December 2022.
Come join us in North Reading, MA, or in our newly expanded innovation hub in Westborough, MA!
Both campuses provide a unique opportunity for co-ops to have direct access to robotics testing labs and manufacturing facilities.
