Manipulation Robotics Embedded SDE
About The Position
Join the brightest minds in robotics developing the next generation of manipulation robots! This fast-moving team is creating a game-changing new product for accelerating robotics. It has a strong ownership culture and the urgency of a team that knows it's building something that hasn't been done before. You'll own the embedded software organization for a product that is a critical priority for Amazon Robotics — and you'll be expected to move fast, make selections with incomplete information, and raise the bar continuously. You'll have the autonomy to shape the technical direction, the accountability to deliver it, and the resources of Amazon behind you. About the Role Join the brightest minds in robotics developing the next generation of manipulation robots! You will be part of a multidisciplinary team - a startup within Amazon - breaking new ground in how robots are designed, built and operated at scale. We hire smart and effective engineers and offer them a partner-oriented environment in which they can invent and innovate to improve the experience for our customers. We do this daily by solving complex technical and business problems with ingenuity and simplicity. As a part of the embedded team, you’ll build advanced control systems for manipulation robots. The stack includes custom hardware, embedded Linux, Computer Vision, Motor Control, WiFi, Safety, IO Protocols for attached devices and more. You will partner closely with scientists to design and implement modern controls algorithms. The software you create will be deployed at Amazon scale, powering large fleets.
