We are seeking a Systems Development Engineer to own the release lifecycle for Fauna Robotics software. You will be responsible for getting robot software from “merged” to “running reliably on customer and internal robots”: cutting releases, testing them on real hardware, publishing artifacts, and building the automated test infrastructure that makes this fast and safe.
This role requires someone who is meticulous about quality, comfortable testing software on physical robots, and motivated to automate themselves out of repetitive manual work.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end release process: artifact cutting, integration testing on hardware, staged rollout to internal and external fleets, and post-release validation
- Manually test robot software on real robot hardware before releases ship
- Partner with robotics engineers to understand what “working correctly” means for each subsystem and translate that into testable criteria
- Design and implement automated test suites that progressively replace manual testing: regression tests, smoke tests, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) continuous integration
- Operate and maintain existing CI/CD pipelines and OTA delivery infrastructure; triage failures, unblock developers, improve reliability
- Define and enforce release quality gates: what must pass before software ships to customers
- Build release tooling and dashboards: release notes generation, artifact versioning, rollout status, rollback procedures
About the team
Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe, and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces.
We believe that future won’t arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We’re changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products.
Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We’re building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful.
At Fauna, you’ll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It’s an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.
If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you.
