Job Description
Join the next revolution in robotics at Amazons Frontier AI & Robotics team. As an Applied Scientist youll be at the forefront of developing breakthrough foundation models that enable robots to perceive understand and interact with the world in unprecedented ways. Youll drive independent research initiatives in areas such as perception manipulation science understanding sim2real transfer multimodal foundation models and multitask learning designing novel algorithms that bridge the gap between research and realworld deployment at Amazon scale.
In this role youll balance innovative technical exploration with practical implementation collaborating with platform teams to ensure your models and algorithms perform robustly in dynamic realworld environments. Youll have access to Amazons vast computational resources enabling you to tackle ambitious problems in areas like very large multimodal robotic foundation models and efficient promptable model architectures that can scale across diverse robotic applications.
Key job responsibilities
Design and implement novel deep learning architectures that push the boundaries of what robots can understand and accomplish
Drive independent research initiatives in robotics foundation models focusing on breakthrough approaches in perception and manipulation for example openvocabulary panoptic scene understanding scaling up multimodal LLMs sim2real/real2sim techniques endtoend visionlanguageaction models efficient model inference video tokenization
Lead technical projects from conceptualization through deployment ensuring robust performance in production environments
Collaborate with platform teams to optimize and scale models for realworld applications
Contribute to the teams technical strategy and help shape our approach to nextgeneration robotics challenges
A day in the life
Design and implement novel foundation model architectures leveraging our extensive compute infrastructure to train and evaluate at scale
Collaborate with our worldclass research team to solve complex technical challenges
Lead technical initiatives from conception to deployment working closely with robotics engineers to integrate your solutions into production systems
Participate in technical discussions and brainstorming sessions with team leaders and fellow scientists
Leverage our massive compute cluster and extensive robotics infrastructure to rapidly prototype and validate new ideas
Transform theoretical insights into practical solutions that can handle the complexities of realworld robotics applications
