About The Position

Are you inspired by invention? Is problem-solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these, and you'll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers who work passionately to apply AI, advances in robotics, and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers' experiences. We invent new improvements every day, and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling, and fun. As a Software Development Engineer on the AR Sortation Planning team, you will design, develop, and deploy full-stack robotic planning, tracking, and workcell solutions using AWS infrastructure and AI-driven sortation optimization that are scalable, reliable, and performant. You will build software solutions to improve sortation at scale, improve associate safety and ergonomics, improve associate job satisfaction, and improve site efficiency. You will work alongside our data scientists, researchers, data engineers, and other software engineers to develop end-to-end sortation solutions. You will architect and implement ML-powered predictive routing algorithms and intelligent work planning systems that optimize package flow, container utilization, and fleet orchestration across our robotics sortation network. We team cross-functionally with hardware and robotic controls experts to develop pioneering applications in a highly exciting and innovative environment, where your code directly powers adaptive, data-driven decision-making that transforms how millions of packages move through our fulfillment network every day.
