亚马逊去年年底宣布了其交付无人机亚马逊Prime Air的计划。然后，很长时间：什么都没有。正如观察人士指出的，该项目至少有几个障碍要实现。但该公司似乎正在取得进展：它在剑桥和西雅图都为一名“飞行运营工程师”招工。

两年前，亚马逊收购了英国无人机初创公司Evi Technologies，看来该公司正在剑桥地区拓展研发工作。亚马逊一直在寻找“高级研究科学家”这样的职位，但上个月底发布的剑桥工程师职位听起来更亲力亲为。参加这次飞行表演的资格包括5年或5年以上的“领航”飞行试验经验，以及3年或3年以上的“支援”飞行经验。西雅图的工作同样需要5年或5年以上的相关航空经验，无论是民用还是军用，无论是载人还是无人驾驶航空。对于“飞行安全经理”来说，一份稍微不那么令人兴奋但同样重要的工作也在上升。

以下是剑桥飞行员职位的完整列表：
