Simulator Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

Are you inspired by invention. 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 Last Mile Solutions Engineering team.
WW AMZL Solutions Engineering team is looking to build out our Senior Simulation team to drive innovation across our Last Mile network

We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do. If you're interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique, solutions advisory group with a relentless focus on the customer, you've come to the right place. This is a blue-sky role that gives you a chance to roll up your sleeves and dive into big data sets in order to build discrete event 3D simulations using tools like Flexsim, Anylogic, Emulate 3D etc and experimentation systems at scale, build optimization algorithms and leverage cutting-edge technologies across Amazon.

This is an opportunity to think big about how to solve a challenging problem for the customers.
As a Simulation Scientist, you are expected to deep dive into complex problems and drive relentlessly towards innovative solutions working with cross functional teams. Be comfortable interfacing and influencing various functional teams and individuals at all levels of the organization in order to be successful. Lead strategic modelling and simulation projects related to drive process design decisions

Your expertise in synthesizing and communicating insights and recommendations to audiences of varying levels of technical sophistication will enable you to answer specific business questions and innovate for the future. You will apply cutting edge designs and methodologies for complex use cases across Last Mile network to drive innovation. In addition, you will contribute to the end state vision for simulation and experimentation of future delivery stations at Amazon.
Key job responsibilities
Key job responsibilities
Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of the simulation data science solutions to perform system of systems discrete event simulations for significantly complex operational processes that have a long-term impact on a product, business, or function using FlexSim, Demo 3D, AnyLogic or any other Discrete Event Simulation (DES) software packages
Lead strategic modeling and simulation research projects to drive process design decisions
Be an exemplary practitioner in simulation science discipline to establish best practices and simplify problems to develop discrete event simulations faster with higher standards
Identify and tackle intrinsically hard process flow simulation problems (e.g., highly complex, ambiguous, undefined, with less existing structure, or having significant business risk or potential for significant impact
Deliver artifacts that set the standard in the organization for excellence, from process flow control algorithm design to validation to implementations to technical documents using simulations
Be a pragmatic problem solver by applying judgment and simulation experience to balance cross-organization trade-offs between competing interests and effectively influence, negotiate, and communicate with internal and external business partners, contractors and vendors for multiple simulation projects
Provide simulation data and measurements that influence the business strategy of an organization

Write effective white papers and artifacts while documenting your approach, simulation outcomes, recommendations, and arguments
Lead and actively participate in reviews of simulation research science solutions. You bring clarity to complexity, probe assumptions, illuminate pitfalls, and foster shared understanding within simulation data science discipline
Pay a significant role in the career development of others, actively mentoring and educating the larger simulation data science community on trends, technologies, and best practices
Use advanced statistical /simulation tools and develop codes (python or another object oriented language) for data analysis , simulation, and developing modeling algorithms
Lead and coordinate simulation efforts between internal teams and outside vendors to develop optimal solutions for the network, including equipment specification, material flow control logic, process design, and site layout
Deliver results according to project schedules and quality
