In particular, Amazon is asking for Flight Operations Engineers, who will be responsible for testing drone technologies. The candidate must have at least five years of lead flight test experience, a degree in aeronautical engineering or a related field, and preferably experience in aircraft certification and aviation safety.
Amazon states:
"We're working on the future. If you are seeking an environment where you can drive innovation… 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."
