As a Robotics Control Engineer at Amazon Robotics, you will be part of a collaborative team dedicated to creating high-performance, real-time robotic systems that can intelligently interact with humans in complex environments. Our mission is to enable robots to operate safely and efficiently within Amazon's fulfillment centers, adapting to the clutter and uncertainty of real-world scenarios. You will leverage your expertise in motion planning, control theory, and robotics to develop innovative and scalable products that enhance our robotic capabilities. This role involves applying cutting-edge research to solve real-world challenges, particularly in areas such as closed-loop control, robotic grasping, and manipulation in high-contact environments. Your contributions will be vital in advancing our algorithmic capabilities and ensuring the successful deployment of robotic systems across our fulfillment networks. In this position, you will be responsible for designing and continuously improving the system controls architecture, which includes machine control code, networking, electrical design, and safety design. You will develop control code using structured text on Codesys platforms and work closely with hardware and software engineering teams to implement scalable, real-time solutions. Your role will also involve launching, testing, and debugging systems both in the lab and in the field, as well as developing tools and best practices for system monitoring and troubleshooting. Collaboration with stakeholders across various teams will be essential to iterate on system design and implementation, ensuring that our robotic systems meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
