Job Description
Amazon Robotics is seeking a collaborative Senior Software Engineer to join our innovative perception and motion team in the development of Mobile Manipulators expanding robotics into new frontiers. As a member of our exceptional engineering team you will contribute to building the latest platform and architecture solutions for advanced robotics systems. Your work will encompass onboard perception mapping highlevel task planning wholebody motion planning and sensingbased closedloop control software development. In this role youll have the opportunity to collaborate with our worldclass hardware team utilize stateoftheart simulation tools and work with the latest developments in embodied AI technology. Join us in pushing the boundaries of whats possible in robotics automation.
Key job responsibilities
* Scene perception fusing multiple sensing modalities simultaneously detecting and tracking many 3D objects in spatially complex and timevarying workspaces.
* Visual servoing and impedance (force) based control to achieve the highest levels of spatial precision.
* Experimenting and evaluating new sensors and new mechanical embodiment designs.
* Highlevel task planning for longrunning and ambiguous automation roles with broad exception paths.
* Wholebody motion planning with tiered levels of dynamic fidelity and time horizons to trade off performance completeness and computational complexity.
* Localization challenges in new and unstructured environments.
* Developing machinelearning capabilities and infrastructure for robotic perception and motion integrating the latest vision language action models to expand generalizability beyond the state of the art.
* Optimizing runtime performance of robotic algorithms by exploiting underlying hardware acceleration capabilities.
* Building frameworks for largescale replay and analysis of events in prerecorded sensor data.
* Building frameworks to monitor and manage resource utilization on embedded compute platform.
* Building visualization tools for analyzing and debugging robot behavior.
