Software Development Engineer, Amazon Robotics

About the position

Amazon Robotics develops state-of-the-art robotics solutions to power Amazon's world-class Fulfillment Operations, which handle more single items than any other company. Our partnership-focused team is at the forefront of building automated manipulation products to handle and process packages and singular items. We're seeking an exceptional Software Development Engineer to join our innovative robotics team. In this role, you'll develop robust software solutions that power our next-generation robotics and machine learning platforms. You'll build scalable ML serving infrastructure, inference pipelines, and real-time data processing systems for computer vision and object detection models. Working across the full technology stack, you'll develop scalable services and data pipelines that process vast amounts of robotics workcell data, motion control, segmentation data from our advanced robotic systems performing package and item manipulation. The ideal candidate will contribute to system architecture, service design, and development of high-performance applications while partnering with robotics and ML teams. You'll build distributed systems that handle real-time processing, implement resilient microservices, and create solutions that bridge cloud and edge computing. Experience with modern software development practices, distributed systems is essential. If you're passionate about the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and data engineering, and want to solve complex problems that bridge the physical and digital worlds, this role offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of automated systems. Join a team that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible in modern robotics.
