Working on Prime Air
Amazon's Prime Air programme develops and operates delivery drones, and it hires across a wide range of functions — flight-test operators, remote pilots, autonomy and software engineers, hardware and manufacturing staff, and operations roles. Because the programme is highly automated, many pilot-facing positions look closer to flight-test operator, fleet operations or remote-supervision work than traditional stick-and-rudder flying. For pilot roles, Amazon typically expects the relevant certification — Part 107 in the US or the national equivalent elsewhere — along with a strong technical or operational background.
Amazon is competitive, and roles vary by location and by the current phase of the programme, so openings come and go. It is worth watching the rest of the sector too: companies building and operating delivery drones hire for very similar skills, often with less competition than Amazon itself. If a delivery-drone career is your goal, it pays to track the whole industry, not just one employer.
