Our Opportunity:

Are you ready to shape the future of fulfillment? Do you want to see your work drive innovation across a nationwide network? If so, the Chewy FC Science team is hiring!

We are on a mission to redefine how Chewy’s Fulfillment Network operates by building a high-fidelity Digital Twin—a real-time, AI-driven simulation that mirrors our fulfillment centers down to the last detail. Using the ground breaking Nvidia Omniverse platform, we’re not just envisioning the future; we’re creating it. Join our team as we push the boundaries of simulation, robotics, and computer vision to unlock new levels of growth and efficiency. Your ideas will positively influence key decisions, reduce costs, and elevate Chewy’s fulfillment capabilities to new heights.

We are hiring a Machine Learning Engineer III in Boston, MA, or Minneapolis, MN. In this position, you will be integral to every stage of model development, from idea inception to analysis, architecture, pipeline design, tuning, experimentation, and creating robust feedback loops. But that's not all—you'll also collaborate with our computer vision and robotics engineers to build and improve innovative ML models that power our fulfillment network. Our team thrives on learning and working together to deploy these models, continually advancing our techniques and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Join our high-achieving team and make a direct impact on the future of fulfillment at Chewy!
