Applied Scientist, Alexa Edge AI

Model Development: Design and build deep learning models for computer vision, audio understanding, and multimodal semantic fusion — including architectures that enable joint reasoning across visual, auditory, and textual modalities. End-to-End Ownership: Own the full ML lifecycle — from problem formulation, data strategy, and annotation design through experimentation, evaluation frameworks, model optimization, and deployment at scale. Research & Innovation: Stay at the frontier of CV, audio ML, and multimodal learning; identify and apply SOTA techniques and contribute to the scientific community through papers at top-tier venues (CVPR, NeurIPS, ICASSP, ICCV, ACL). BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - PhD, or Master's degree and 3+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience - 1+ years of building models for business application experience - Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language - Experience in building speech recognition, machine translation and natural language processing systems (e.g., commercial speech products or government speech projects) PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Knowledge of standard speech and machine learning techniques - Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals - PhD or work experience in a relevant field (CV, Audio, multimodal language models) Experience with distributed training, model compression, and inference optimization (e.g. pruning, quantization, distillation, etc.) - Demonstrated ability to work in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and define technical roadmaps independently
