Amazon Robotics internship opportunities will be based in the Greater Boston Area, in our two state-of-the-art facilities in Westborough and North Reading, MA. Both campuses provide a unique opportunity for interns to have direct access to robotics testing labs and manufacturing facilities.

Amazon internships are full-time (40 hours/week) for 12 or more consecutive weeks with start dates between May and June 2021.

The Amazon Robotics Data Science team uses data science, business analytics, and experimentation to drive decisions for Solutions Designers, Product Development, and Operations teams. Our analyses support the design and deployment of new technology and FC designs. We have four analytic competencies: Strategy, Concept, Design, and Validation/Production.

Strategy defines the business case for future areas of technology investment. Concept uses data to drive technology decisions regarding new and disruptive technologies prior to alpha experimentation. Design provides inputs required for new fulfillment center and other solution designs, ensuring that they satisfy key capacity requirements. Validation and Production includes design of experiments (DOE), evaluation of emerging technologies from alpha experimentation through final beta validation, and characterization of KPIs following deployment.
