Amazon is seeking talented engineers to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction.
If you are passionate about safety and performance and have an interest in robotics systems, then we would like to talk to you about becoming part of an organization with global impact on millions of customers.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop and maintain novel robotic systems, contributing to the architectural design of complex systems and collaborating with peers and other teams to find solutions to challenging problems.
- Take end-to-end ownership of features — from design through validation, launch, and the issues that surface in the field.
- Engage and challenge ideas constructively in design reviews, and once the team decides, commit fully to the team's decision and help make it succeed.
- Contribute valuable feedback during peer reviews, effectively communicate with technical leadership, and develop new and innovative solutions in a high-paced R&D environment that balance performance and reliability.
- Ramp quickly across unfamiliar domains — networking and WiFi, security, navigation, obstacle detection, motor control, functional-safety-related control, and diverse sensors — and go deep where the problem demands it.
A day in the life
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you'll work with cross-functional teams to design, develop, test, and debug modern robotic systems. Your day spans design discussions and brainstorming novel approaches to the hardest robotics problems, implementing new product concepts and features, and shifting between bbare-metal/real-time OS (RTOS) code code and Linux kernel-level work as the problem demands. Testing ranges from writing automated tests that validate new features to hands-on bench and live testing to reproduce and root-cause failures — whether they surface in the firmware, in the kernel, or in the board itself.
