About the Role
Amazon Robotics Software Development Engineer
Amazon is seeking exceptional talent 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 cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems. 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. Human-robot interaction.
If you're passionate about building robust, scalable software for complex robotic systems and want to work across the full robotics stack—from low-level system interfaces to high-level application logic—then we'd like to talk to you about becoming part of an organization with global impact on millions of customers.
Key job responsibilities The ideal individual is enthusiastic about building the right solutions for our customers and will collaborate with other teams to ensure that our product meets Amazon-scale credentials. They will:
A day in the life As a Senior Software Development Engineer you're expected to work within cross-functional teams to design, develop, test. Deploy software for robotic systems that operate in Amazon's fulfillment network. You will work across multiple domains of the robotics stack—interfacing with sensors, actuators. Control systems while also building higher-level application logic that coordinates robot behavior. The development process will involve contributing to system design, analyzing trade-offs of proposed approaches, and implementing production features. Testing efforts involve writing automated tests, building simulation environments, and performing live hardware testing to debug and root-cause issues on physical robot platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain production software for robotic systems in C++ and/or Python, spanning perception, motion planning, controls, and application layers.
- Work with multiple system components including sensor integration, networking, safety systems, and real-time actuation on modern robotic hardware.
- Experience deploying software to physical robotic platforms in industrial or production settings
- Develop and optimize multi-modal data recording pipelines to support recording high-bandwidth data from multiple sensor sources simultaneously.
- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python with track record building production-grade software
- Exposure to multiple robotics domains: SLAM/navigation, manipulation/grasping, perception/computer vision, motion planning, or robot applications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
- 4+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems hands-on history
- Hands-on history with real-time software development, multithreaded programming, or embedded Linux environments
- Develop solutions that balance performance, reliability, and maintainability under the guidance of senior engineers.
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development track record
- Debug and troubleshoot complex system-level issues across software, firmware, and hardware boundaries.
