Job description

As a Software Development Engineer II on the Autonomous Mobility Motion team, you will be responsible for critical components of task planning, motion planning, control, and navigation software for autonomous robots. You will work collaboratively with Applied Scientists and Software Development Engineers to develop and support production robotics systems. This role involves integrating machine learning models into motion planning systems and ensuring the reliability of autonomous navigation solutions. You will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technologies while impacting thousands of autonomous robots operating in fulfillment centers worldwide.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of full software development life cycle experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience with C++ or TypeScript in production environments
  • Experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS or ROS2
  • Experience implementing autonomous navigation systems or task planning from machine learning models
  • Experience with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, TensorRT, or PyTorch
  • Experience with embedded systems or real-time software development

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and deploy software for task planning, motion planning, and control systems for autonomous mobile robots.
  • Build scalable, generalizable, and highly reliable systems with comprehensive metrics monitoring and regression alarming.
  • Support production robotics systems deployed across Amazon's fulfillment network, troubleshooting issues and implementing improvements.
  • Develop generalizations that enable autonomous navigation capabilities to scale to new environments and use cases.
  • Collaborate with Applied Scientists to integrate machine learning models into production motion planning and control systems.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end autonomous navigation solutions.
  • Contribute to the full software development lifecycle including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support.
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code primarily in C++ and TypeScript, with exposure to Python, Java, ROS/ROS2, TensorFlow, TensorRT, and PyTorch.

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.
