Description
- We're seeking talented Robotics Software Engineers to expand our software team. This highly technical role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing software solutions across diverse AI robotics hardware that support both autonomous, teleoperation, and ML training/evaluation. You'll work closely and collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams; including software, hardware, research, and operations - to drive advancements in our robotic systems. Key job responsibilities • Work with mechanical, control, EE, and ML engineering teams to bring up and integrate sensors and actuators • Design and build software framework to accelerate development of full robotics applications • Work with AI researchers to build inferencing, training, and evaluation software for robotics controls. • Create testing environment for HW/SW/Policy testing and QA About the team At Frontier AI & Robotics, we're not just advancing robotics – we're reimagining it from the ground up. Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through frontier foundation models and end-to-end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics, from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex, real-world scenarios. What sets us apart is our unique combination of ambitious research vision and practical impact. We leverage Amazon's massive computational infrastructure and rich real-world datasets to train and deploy state-of-the-art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence – from multimodal perception using images, videos, and sensor data, to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real-world scenarios. We're building systems that don't just work in the lab, but scale to meet the demands of Amazon's global operations. Join us if you're excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics, working with world-class researchers, and seeing your innovations deployed at unprecedented scale.
