Senior ML Software Engineer, Robotics, Amazon Robotics

Join us in building intelligent robotic systems that perceive learn and act in the real world. Youll develop the computer vision machine learning and control systems that power our first-of-its-kind robotic workcells working across prototypes in the lab and deployed systems at scale.

As a Software Engineer on the Vulcan team youll work on end-to-end robotic systems that combine hardware and software innovation. You will build and operate the ML infrastructure that powers robotic workcells across Amazons fulfillment network - training pipelines model deployment systems data pipelines model monitoring systems that ensure our ML models perform reliably at scale. Youll partner with hardware engineers roboticists and data scientists to integrate your software into functioning workcells. Youll also participate in monitoring system performance conducting A/B tests on new features and troubleshooting issues as they arise in both controlled lab environments and production deployments. This role offers the opportunity to see your code directly impact physical systems and to learn from an interdisciplinary team building every layer of the robotic stack.


Key job responsibilities
- Deploy computer vision and machine learning systems that enable robots to perceive and grasp their environment
- Build and maintain ML training and evaluation pipelines for computer vision and manipulation models
- Design model deployment and rollback infrastructure across lab and production robotic workcells
- Develop data pipelines for ingesting curating and versioning training data from robotic fleet telemetry
- Implement model monitoring drift detection and alerting to ensure production model health
- Automate experiment tracking A/B testing and model validation workflows
- Own CI/CD for ML automated testing packaging and promotion of model artifacts
- Partner with ML scientists and roboticists to operationalize research models into production systems
