Manager, Applied Science & Engineering Amazon
New York, NY

Job Description

Help us turn pixels into people!

Join our team of world class computer vision researchers and ML-focused software engineers as we continue to develop the world's most accurate, data-driven 3D models of human pose, shape and motion. Our team at Amazon is an outgrowth of Body Labs, an NYC-based computer vision startup which Amazon acquired at the end of 2017. First at Body Labs, and now Amazon, our team has been developing state-of-the art computer vision algorithms for accurately inferring the 3D shape and pose of people in everyday images and video. Our technology builds on over a decade of computer vision research, licensed in part from Prof. Michael Black's research group at Brown University and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.

We are looking for an Applied Science & Engineering Manager to lead development of deep learning algorithms and other forms of optimization in order to fit these 3D models to images and videos of people. Your team will build our algorithm research, integration and deployment pipelines and deliver our science to Amazon customers. You will help us pursue a wide range of customer facing applications for our body model technologies. We are looking for candidates who can deal with the planning ambiguity we get from never being 100% sure the research is going to pan out as expected.

This is great opportunity for a Technical Manager with Machine Learning experience to have high impact in a cutting edge field, and in one of Amazon's fastest growing business.
