Amazon announced its ambitious plans for special package delivery drones, a project known as Amazon Prime Air, late last year but hasn’t had much to say about the project since then, until now that is. The project has numerous obstacles to overcome, but the American e-commerce giant is making progress.
According to Tech Crunch, Amazon is expanding its delivery drone testing to Cambridge, with a plan to fully staff a large research lab in the British city, expanding on the foothold that the company acquired when it bought Cambridge-based speech tech startup Evi Technologies two years ago.
“If you want to apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve extreme-scale real world problems… If you want the satisfaction of providing visible benefit to end-users in an iterative fast paced environment… This is your opportunity,” the company wrote on the career page of it’s website, as quoted by The Telegraph.
“You can expect to collaborate on test plans, plan the test evolution, and execute the flights while working closely with our flight engineering and flight test teams in Seattle. We’re looking for aerospace, systems, or other engineers with extensive UAS flight experience. Success will require attention to detail, a safety-oriented attitude, flexibility, and creative problem solving.”
