Are you inspired by invention? Is problem-solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture?
Answer yes to any of these, and you’ll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply leading-edge advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers’ experiences. We invent new improvements every day and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun.
As a Software Development Engineer with a focus on Machine Learning on the AR Sortation Planning team, you will be foundational in establishing and growing a machine learning practice to power intelligent robotic workcells. You will design and deploy ML models that optimize sortation efficiency, enhance safety and ergonomics, and enable adaptive decision-making in robotic workflows. You’ll collaborate with robotics, controls, and simulation teams to integrate perception and prediction models into real-world and simulated systems. Your work will directly impact how our robotic systems operate at scale, making measurable improvements in performance, safety, and associate satisfaction.
Key job responsibilities
* Build scalable, flexible, and maintainable ML-driven software solutions for robotic workcell & workflow optimization.
* Design and implement machine learning models for perception, classification, prediction, and control optimization in robotic environments.
* Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams including data scientists, data engineers, simulation developers, and operations leaders.
* Develop and manage data pipelines, model training workflows, and deployment infrastructure using AWS services.
* Conduct offline and in-simulation experimentation and analysis to inform model development and system improvements.
* Contribute to technical architecture and roadmap to grow ML capability within the AR Sortation Planning team.
* Own production ML systems end-to-end, including monitoring, retraining, and continuous improvement.
