What are the responsibilities and job description for the Robotics - Embedded Software Development Engineer position at Amazon?
Description
Do you want to solve real customer problems through innovative technology? Do you enjoy working on scalable services in a collaborative team environment? Do you want to see your code directly impact millions of customers worldwide?
At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. Customer obsession is part of our company DNA, which has made us one of the world's most beloved brands.
Our Robotics Embedded Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use modern technology to solve complex problems while seeing their work's impact first-hand. The challenges SDEs solve at Amazon are meaningful and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products globally. We seek individuals passionate about creating new products, features, and services while managing ambiguity in an environment where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years. You will work on large-scale fleet of robotics systems deployed across our global fulfillment network. The code you write directly supports warehouse associates in their daily work, enables efficient order fulfillment, and advances the capabilities of autonomous robotics in real-world operations.
At Amazon, we believe in ownership at every level. As an SDE-I, you'll own the entire lifecycle of your code - from design through deployment and ongoing operations. This ownership mindset, combined with our commitment to operational excellence, ensures we deliver the highest quality solutions for our customers.
We're looking for curious minds who think big and want to define tomorrow's technology. At Amazon, you'll grow into the high-impact engineer you know you can be, supported by a culture of learning and mentorship. Every day brings exciting new challenges and opportunities for personal growth.
In this role, you'll collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines, working with mechanical, electrical, cloud software, fleet management, manufacturing, cybersecurity and field support teams. You'll explore the latest development of AI and secure edge development on resource-constrained embedded systems while adhering to rigorous safety standards and implementing deterministic behavior that protects people interacting with automated robotic solutions.
