About the position

Amazon Robotics is seeking a talented and motivated Engineer to architect, design, develop and test technologies that control and optimize robotic fulfillment used by .com operations. As a Senior Engineer on the Resource Management team, you are a key member of a diverse team of engineers who deliver highly scalable robotic systems. You will architect, design and implement systems which assign work, maintain healthy charge levels and manage the storage of Amazon products within its Robotics solution. Our team's software is at the heart of ensuring Amazon's retail customers get their packages on time. You will have opportunities to collaborate and work with research scientists, applied scientists, data scientists and cross-functional teams on cutting-edge automation solutions for ever-growing robotic fleet. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting, designing, and implementing robotic applications and infrastructure. You will influence the team's strategy and contribute to the long-term vision and roadmap. Working with stakeholders across various teams, including science and operations, you will iterate on design and implementation. Maintaining high standards is crucial, and you will participate in reviews, design for fault tolerance and operational excellence, and create mechanisms for continuous improvement. You will prototype and test concepts or features, both through simulation and emulators and with live robotic equipment. Additionally, you will work directly with customers and partners to test prototypes and incorporate feedback, while also mentoring other engineer team members. Utilizing Robotics and engineering processes and technologies will be a key part of your responsibilities.
