Job description

We're looking for a Applied Vision Scientist with a background in display optics to join our Optical Metrology & Vision Science team. You'll apply deep expertise in human visual perception to guide the design, evaluation, and optimization of next-generation display systems and visual experiences across Amazon's device portfolio.
You'll work at the intersection of vision science, computational modeling, display engineering, and user experience, translating psychophysical principles into measurable engineering specifications that ship in products used by millions.


Key job responsibilities
Develop and apply computational models of human vision (contrast sensitivity, color appearance, temporal perception, spatial acuity) to inform display hardware and software decisions
Collaborate with display hardware engineers to optimize technology selection, product architecture, and negotiate system-level trade-offs
Design and execute rigorous psychophysical experiments to quantify image and display quality across viewing conditions; collaborating with optical metrology engineers to define and validate the perceptual correlation of objective metrics
Build and maintain lab infrastructure for controlled visual experiments (calibrated displays, spectroradiometers, eye-tracking systems, controlled ambient environments)
Analyze experimental data using advanced statistical methods (signal detection theory, Bayesian inference, mixed-effects models, ANOVA)
Develop and validate perceptual simulation pipelines that predict visual appearance under varying display configurations, ambient conditions, and optical system parameters, enabling rapid virtual prototyping and reducing dependence on physical hardware iterations

About Amazon

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Amazon.com, Inc., commonly known as Amazon, is an American multinational technology company. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and initially started as an online marketplace for books.

The company offers a convenient and user-friendly shopping experience, with features such as fast shipping, customer reviews, and personalized recommendations. In addition to its e-commerce platform, Amazon has diversified its business into various other areas. One of its notable ventures is Amazon Web Services (AWS), a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides services such as storage, compute power, and database management to individuals and businesses. AWS has become a leader in the cloud computing industry, powering many websites and applications worldwide. Amazon has also developed its own consumer electronics, including the popular Amazon Kindle e-reader, Fire tablets, Fire TV streaming devices, and the Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers. The Alexa voice assistant, integrated into these devices, allows users to interact with their devices using voice commands, perform tasks, and access information. Furthermore, Amazon has expanded into media and entertainment. It operates Prime Video, a streaming service that offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, and original content. Amazon Music provides a platform for streaming and purchasing digital music, while Audible offers audiobooks and other audio content.
