Do you want to create worldwide impact in robotics while solving challenges at the edge of robotics research? Our team in Amazon Robotics builds high-performance, real-time robotic systems that can perceive, learn, and act intelligently alongside humans—at Amazon scale. Our mission is to create robots that perform contact-rich tasks safely, efficiently, and dexterously amid the complexity and variety of Amazon warehouses. Our solutions learn from their own experiences, from each other, and from humans to build intelligence that feeds itself.
We are looking for a driven Robotics Software Engineer to help us build, deploy, and improve a fleet of intelligent, dexterous robots across the globe. You will work with a world-class team of scientists and engineers to create the architecture that powers our advanced manipulation robots and the tools we use to support and learn from our growing number of deployed systems. Come join a team that is pushing advanced robotics into the real world at an unrivaled scale and pace.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop and maintain high-performance software that powers advanced manipulation tasks on robotic systems in dynamic environments.
- Work with scientists and engineers to transition innovative features from prototype to robust, scalable solutions for production at Amazon scale.
- Build and optimize data pipelines that track performance, generate insights, and support machine learning models for continuous system improvement.
- Create and improve dashboards and monitoring tools for tracking and debugging across global deployments.
- Write modular, extensible code that aid future iterations of robotic platforms and architectures.
- Integrate, test, and validate new features on live systems, ensuring they meet performance and reliability standards.
- Work with experts across disciplines including perception, hardware and software to create intelligent, integrated systems and solutions.
