I found out not long ago that Amazon is back in the game for their UAS program. They currently have several Top paying jobs for all aspects of the UAS in the Prime Air. Their main facilities for the PA is in Seattle, WA and Cambridge, UK.
I live 30 minutes from a huge amazon warehouse and I sent them a message just to see if they had anything planned at the one closer to me. That was the end of this work week so I haven't been responded to yet. I thought I would share this info with you guys because they have a big wish list on what they want for UAS operators. Btw, they refer to them as dro..s and I don't like using that to describe them, so I don't.
But if you search the Amazon Prime Air you can find all kinds of info.
I'm not sure how they will plan on using this technology but none the less they are extremely determined to dump a shipload of money into getting it accomplished. And right now I don't think they know how they're going to use the tech either. But I thought maybe they would have a driver/flier that drove a large delivery truck to an assigned zone and setup a mini ground control station where he/she flew packages out to a particular radius that consist of X number of customers. Say the driver pulled into a Walmart parking area and began using way points to send the UAS...... Anyway that is what I came up with and not a lot of thinking in great detail or anything.
If anyone does get a position with the Prime Air let us know how you are doing. And good luck!
