Software Development Engineer - Amazon Robotics, Autonomous Mobility, Proteus AMR

Amazon•North Reading, MA

About The Position

As a Software Development Engineer II on the AMS Motion team, you will own critical components of task planning, motion planning, control, and navigation software. You will work on supporting and evolving our production robotics systems, developing generalizations that enable our robots to operate in new environments and use cases. You will also have an opportunity to be involved in development of ML and AI-based motion planning and task planning systems. Your work will directly impact thousands of fully autonomous robots operating safely alongside people in fulfillment centers worldwide. You will be part of a collaborative team of Applied Scientists and Software Development Engineers. You'll work closely with teams across Perception, SLAM, Infrastructure, Fleet Management, and Coordination Services to deliver robust, scalable, and highly reliable autonomous navigation solutions. This role offers a unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technologies including real-time robotics systems, machine learning, and agentic AI while seeing your code deployed on a production fleet at massive scale.

Requirements

3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
2+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

Nice To Haves

Experience with C++ or TypeScript in production environments
Experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS or ROS2
Experience implementing autonomous navigation systems (motion planning, perception, SLAM), or task planning and action generation from machine learning models
Experience with machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, TensorRT, PyTorch) and integrating ML models into production systems
Experience with embedded systems or real-time software development

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and deploy software for task planning, motion planning, and control systems for autonomous mobile robots
Build scalable, generalizable, and highly reliable systems with comprehensive metrics monitoring and regression alarming
Support production robotics systems deployed across Amazon's fulfillment network, troubleshooting issues and implementing improvements
Develop generalizations that enable autonomous navigation capabilities to scale to new environments and use cases
Collaborate with Applied Scientists to integrate machine learning models into production motion planning and control systems
Work with cross-functional teams (Perception, SLAM, Infrastructure, Fleet Management) to deliver end-to-end autonomous navigation solutions
Contribute to the full software development lifecycle including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support
Write high-quality, maintainable code primarily in C++ and TypeScript, with exposure to Python, Java, ROS/ROS2, TensorFlow, TensorRT, and PyTorch
