We are committed to furthering our culture of diversity and inclusion of our teams within the organization. How do you get items to customers quickly, cost-effectively, and—most importantly—safely, in less than an hour? And how do you do it in a way that can scale? Our teams of hundreds of scientists, engineers, aerospace professionals, and futurists have been working hard to do just that! We are delivering to customers, and are excited for what’s to come. Check out more information about Prime Air on the About Amazon blog ([https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/transportation/amazon-prime-air-delivery-drone-reveal-photos](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/transportation/amazon-prime-air-delivery-drone-reveal-photos)). If you are seeking an iterative environment where you can drive innovation, apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve real world delivery challenges, and provide benefits to customers, Prime Air is the place for you. Come work on the Amazon Prime Air Team! Prime Air's Flight Sciences High-Fidelity Methods (HFM) team is seeking an outstanding Applied Scientist to develop and verify drone systems models and flight physics models. These models form the backbone of every flight simulation performed within Prime Air, directly informing aircraft design, system verification, certification, and business decisions. The HFM team's work enables prediction of critical vehicle performance metrics—including range, maneuverability, tracking error, and aircraft stability—and connects vehicle design and operational decisions to business outcomes such as customer reachability. Our models are also a crucial input to the design of flight control algorithms and software verification. Because the accuracy and reliability of these models underpin so many facets of Prime Air's mission, the scientist in this role will have broad, high-visibility impact on the program's success. ### Key job responsibilities The Applied Scientist in this role will own the end-to-end lifecycle of simulation models—from development and deployment through verification and ongoing maintenance. This begins with gathering downstream customer needs, selecting the most suitable modeling approach and level of fidelity, and coordinating the generation of input data. It extends through model training, development and maintenance of software interfaces, and verification of model accuracy. A core aspect of this role is determining the right modeling approach for a given physical phenomenon. The scientist will need a working understanding of the physics and systems being modeled, including vehicle aerodynamics, propeller performance, multibody dynamics, atmospheric physics, electric powertrain components, and guidance and navigation system (GNS) sensors. They will design experiments to generate the data needed to build and verify models, and apply uncertainty quantification and statistical analyses to validate model fidelity. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Aug 19, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Aug 20, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 8, 2026 - Listed for: 81 days - Location: US, WA, Seattle[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10507411/simulation-modeling-applied-scientist-prime-air-flight-sciences-high-fidelity-methods) ## Hiring at Amazon - Open jobs: 21,930 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 10, 2026 [All Amazon jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Site Reliability Engineer, Amazon Ads PubTech](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/7feb24e2564c86151dd5/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Software Configuration Management (SCM) Specialist- Prime Air(Drones), Prime Air](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/1eb40cd1450492f61e74/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Software Dev Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/b39a2d691d765eb384b5/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Software Dev Engineer, Amazon Customer Service](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/1cb442257936cb997243/) US, WA, Seattle ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Modeling and Simulation Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/3e166ba5389ddac1bf9e/) Lockheed Martin · Uniondale, NY ### [Software Simulation & Modeling Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/12ec694a3b9de70a5317/) Lockheed Martin · Littleton, CO ### [Engineering Analyst (Modeling & Simulation)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/eaton/jobs/b276b126f9e75a7c7392/) Eaton · Euclid, Ohio, USA ### [Modeling and Simulation Architect](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/7a16e5675101d130425e/) BAE Systems · Huntsville, Alabama, United States ### [Modeling and Simulation Lead](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/c0274657216d9897c823/) BAE Systems · Hill AFB, Utah, United States [Jobs in Seattle, WA](/locations/us/wa/seattle/)[Jobs in Washington](/locations/us-wa/)[Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
