Amazon Prime Air is looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join their innovative team focused on delivering packages quickly and safely using advanced technologies. The role involves collaborating with top developers and research teams to solve complex delivery challenges. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in robotics and aerospace applications, as well as experience in safety-critical software design. This position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment where you can drive innovation and make a significant impact.

  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience for new and existing systems
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards and testing
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
  • Experience in embedded development in C/C++

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, implement, test, and document embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services.
  • Translate functional requirements into robust, efficient, supportable solutions that work well within the overall system architecture.
  • Participate in the full development cycle, end-to-end, from design, implementation, and testing to documentation, delivery, and maintenance.
  • Evaluate and make decisions around the use of new or existing software products and tools.
  • Mentor junior development engineers.

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.
