Software Development Engineer - Amazon Robotics, Manipulation Robotics

Are you excited about building high-performance robotic systems that can perceive, learn, and act intelligently alongside humans? The Amazon Robotics team is creating new products and technologies that make this possible, at Amazon scale. The Robotic Manipulation organization is looking for engineers who can continue to advance the state-of-the art in our domain.

We are seeking versatile, curious engineers to join our diverse, full-stack team. Our work spans real-time software, machine learning engineering, big data, simulation, and more. We launched the first large-scale Robotic Manipulation capability (Robin) in 2020, which has now scaled to a fleet of >1300 and has shipped >3B packages. We are now evolving Robotic Manipulation capabilities into new process paths including manipulation of individual items.

Key responsibilities include:

• Architect, design, and implement robotic software applications, infrastructure, and tools
• Work with stakeholders across hardware, science, and operations teams
• Create robust, high-quality software to interface with and control sensors, actuators, and other hardware
• Implement and deploy machine learning models and algorithms
• Profile, tune, and optimize system performance
• Create re-usable software and systems to accelerate robotics development
• Maintain high standards through reviews, fault-tolerant design, and continuous improvement
• Mentor junior team members

The Robotic Orchestration team owns the decision-making process for the robotic station. We design flexible software architectures that enable fast iteration and reuse, integrate robots with external automation systems, and control all aspects of the software lifecycle.

Join us in shaping the future of robotics and automation at Amazon!
