Robotics Software Development Engineer II, Robot Perception and Action

Amazon Robotics is at the forefront of developing autonomous robots that revolutionize warehouse operations. The team launched Robin, the first large-scale Robotic Manipulation capability in 2020, which has scaled to over 1,300 robots and handled more than 3 billion packages. Following this success, they introduced newer robots like Cardinal and Sparrow.

The Robotic Manipulation organization is seeking a software development engineer to advance robot perception and action planning. The role involves working on real-time software, machine learning engineering, computer vision, big data, and simulation. The team is responsible for enabling robots to understand their environment and manipulate objects effectively, using machine learning models for detection, tracking, and object manipulation.

Key focus areas include developing and maintaining KPIs for object detection, grasping, and quality assessment, such as Manual exception rate, First Pass Yield (FPY), and Segmentation Mean Average Precision (MAP). The team optimizes task execution by integrating scene analysis and grasping algorithms with planning systems.

This position offers competitive compensation based on geographic location, with additional benefits including medical, dental, vision coverage, 401(k), and parental leave options. The role represents an opportunity to shape the future of Amazon's fulfillment operations through robotics innovation.

The ideal candidate should be passionate about robotics, have strong software development skills, and be ready to contribute to a team that's transforming warehouse automation at an unprecedented scale. This role offers the unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge robotics technology while solving real-world challenges in Amazon's supply chain.
