Senior Software Development Engineer

Amazon Robotics Software Development Engineer

Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction.

If you're passionate about building robust, scalable software for complex robotic systems and want to work across the full robotics stack—from low-level system interfaces to high-level application logic—then we'd like to talk to you about becoming part of an organization with global impact on millions of customers.

Key job responsibilities The ideal candidate is enthusiastic about building the right solutions for our customers and will collaborate with other teams to ensure that our product meets Amazon-scale requirements. They will:

  • Develop real-time sensor data processing pipelines, including implementing sensor fusion algorithms and computer vision models for robotic perception.
  • Develop and optimize multi-modal data recording pipelines to support recording high-bandwidth data from multiple sensor sources simultaneously.
  • Develop physics-realistic simulations of various sensor types (LiDAR, Radar, IMU, force/torque, tactile) to enable virtual testing and validation of perception and control algorithms prior to hardware deployment.
  • Design, develop, and maintain production software for robotic systems in C++ and/or Python, spanning perception, motion planning, controls, and application layers.
  • Work with multiple system components including sensor integration, networking, safety systems, and real-time actuation on modern robotic hardware.
  • Debug and troubleshoot complex system-level issues across software, firmware, and hardware boundaries.
  • Develop solutions that balance performance, reliability, and maintainability under the guidance of senior engineers.

A day in the life As a Senior Software Development Engineer you will work within cross-functional teams to design, develop, test, and deploy software for robotic systems that operate in Amazon's fulfillment network. You will work across multiple domains of the robotics stack—interfacing with sensors, actuators, and control systems while also building higher-level application logic that coordinates robot behavior. The development process will involve contributing to system design, analyzing trade-offs of proposed approaches, and implementing production features. Testing efforts involve writing automated tests, building simulation environments, and performing live hardware testing to debug and root-cause issues on physical robot platforms.

Basic Qualifications

  • 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
  • 4+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
  • Direct, hands-on experience developing software for robotic or complex mechatronic systems
  • Proficiency in C++ and/or Python with experience building production-grade software

Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 frameworks and robotic middleware
  • Exposure to multiple robotics domains: SLAM/navigation, manipulation/grasping, perception/computer vision, motion planning, or robot applications
  • Experience with real-time software development, multithreaded programming, or embedded Linux environments
  • Familiarity with simulation tools (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or equivalent)
  • Experience deploying software to physical robotic platforms in industrial or production settings
