This role involves architecting, designing, developing, and deploying real-time control systems for robotic manipulation tasks. The team consists of approximately 10+ engineers working collaboratively to solve complex technical challenges in embedded systems and distributed software architecture. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in embedded development and motion control.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
  • 5+ years of leading design or architecture of new and existing systems experience
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
  • 4+ years of programming using a modern programming language such as Java, C++, or C#
  • Experience in embedded development in C/C++
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

  • Experience defining cross-service API contracts and managing schema evolution
  • 5+ years of full software development life cycle experience
  • Experience with Industrial control systems, both hardware and software
  • Experience with robotic motion planning in a real-time embedded context
  • Experience with industrial communication protocols
  • Familiarity with RTOS configuration, tuning, and performance profiling

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement real-time embedded control software for robotic workcells.
  • Develop software architectures that balance real-time performance constraints with maintainability.
  • Lead the development of control algorithms and embedded software components.
  • Partner with hardware teams to define control interfaces and optimize software performance.
  • Guide technical design reviews and contribute to architecture selections.
  • Mentor team members on embedded systems best practices and real-time programming techniques.
  • Participate in on-call rotations to assist production systems and drive root cause analysis.

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).
