Job Description
Do you want to create intelligent adaptable robots with global impact At Amazon Robotics our collaborative team builds highperformance realtime robotic systems that perceive plan and act intelligently alongside humansat Amazon scale. Our mission is to enable robots to interact safely efficiently and fluently through the complex challenges of a company that sells everything everywhere. We target highimpact algorithmic unlocks in areas such as scene and activity understanding largescale generative models closedloop control robotic grasping and manipulationall of which have highvalue impact for our current and future fulfillment networks. Our solutions enable robots to learn from their own experiences from each other and from humans to build intelligence that feeds itself.
We are seeking an Applied Scientist to join our Motion Planning and Control team creating a fleet of manipulation robots at scale. You will apply the latest trends in research to solve realworld problems alongside a worldclass team of experts in motion planning computer vision deep learning intelligent control and semisupervised and unsupervised learning. We target highimpact algorithmic unlocks in areas such as scene and activity understanding closedloop control robotic grasping and manipulation in highcontact environments. Your contributions will drive the development and scaling of advanced robotic systems capable of handling complex dynamic environments and transforming how robots interact with the world around them.
Key job responsibilities
Research design implement and evaluate complex motion planning and control algorithms that improve the performance of systems deployed in realworld conditions.
Create experiments and prototype implementations of new learning algorithms and prediction techniques.
Work closely with software engineering team members to drive scalable realtime implementations.
Collaborate with perception machine learning and robotic controls experts to implement and deploy algorithms such as machine learning models.
Collaborate closely with hardware engineering team members on developing systems from prototyping to production level.
Represent Amazon in academia community through publications and scientific presentations.
Work with stakeholders across hardware science and operations teams to iterate on systems design and implementation.
PhD in engineering computer science machine learning robotics or related field
Expertise in motion planning and/or control for robotic manipulators
Experience in publishing at major robotics and related conferences (e.g. ICRA IROS RSS CORL) or journals (e.g. IJRR TRO).
Experience programming in Java C Python or related language
Expertise in algorithmic and MLbased motion generation approaches (e.g. reinforcement learning).
Expertise in closedloop control with computer vision (e.g. highfrequency visual feedback) and/or haptic sensory feedback
Experience with interdisciplinary developments that involve hardware software and algorithm codesign.
Demonstrated experience incubating and productionizing new technology from idea generation through largescale deployment.
