Are you passionate about shaping the future of autonomous systems through the power of artificial intelligence? Do you envision a world where intelligent scenario analysis transforms how organizations develop, validate, and deploy autonomous vehicles, advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS), and physical AI applications? Then come help us define the next generation of autonomous operations at AWS.

As a Specialist Solutions Architect, you will work at the intersection of AI, simulation, and real‑world autonomous systems. You will own the technical relationship with design‑partner customers — serving as their primary architectural guide from early engagement through production, managing delivery cadences, architecture syncs, and product issue prioritization. You will be both the voice of the customer to internal product teams and a hands‑on practitioner who builds demos, validates releases, and enables implementations.

Externally, you will author blog posts, reference architectures, and perspective documents that establish AWS's point of view in the ADAS, autonomous vehicle, and physical AI domains.

Internally, you will drive field enablement — creating artifacts, tools, and training content that empower the broader SA community to position and deliver autonomous operations solutions. You will author thought leadership content including blog posts, reference architectures, and GTM perspective documents that establish AWS's point of view in the ADAS, autonomous vehicle, and physical AI domains.
