Job description

Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to develop advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at scale. The role involves working with cutting-edge AI and sophisticated control systems to create adaptable automation solutions. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementations in robotics. This position offers the opportunity to shape the future of robotics and human-robot collaboration.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience in a relevant field.
  • Knowledge of Python and/or C++ programming.
  • Experience with robotics architectures like ROS and Orocos.
  • Experience with communication layers such as DDS, EtherCAT, and LCM.
  • Experience with test-driven development (TDD) in robotics software.
  • Master’s degree in Robotics with a focus on software frameworks and architectures.
  • Experience with machine learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorRT.
  • Experience in ROS/ROS2.
  • Experience building and configuring embedded Linux systems for robotics platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Design critical components of a software framework that enables generalized dexterous mobile manipulation.
  • Design and integrate cloud and on-edge inferencing systems.
  • Integrate low-latency communication middleware that enables real-time teleoperation.
  • Develop human-machine interfaces that enable fast no-code programming for end-users.
  • Design components that enable metrics and data aggregation.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to rapidly create new concepts and prototypes.
  • Document the designs, performance, and validation of the software architecture.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
