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.

This is a deeply technical role. You"ll be closely involved in system design decisions across a complex stack: custom hardware, embedded Linux, actuator control, computer vision, WiFi, safety systems, and IO protocols. You"ll partner with the science team to implement modern control algorithms and you"ll own and operate these systems across Amazon-scale fleets.

Key job responsibilities

  • Deliver predictably: own the roadmap, execution, and outcomes for your team
  • Lead and grow the embedded software team with a strong focus on career development, coaching, and technical mentorship
  • Define and own the embedded technical strategy in close collaboration with program owners, scientists, and partner teams
  • Work closely with senior and principal engineers to drive architecture and design for high-ambiguity problems
  • Build, optimize, and operate embedded systems at Amazon scale

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
