Job description
from Amazon careersJoin Amazon Robotics' Embedded software team to tackle one of the most exciting challenges in robotics: creating intelligent safety systems that enable humans and robots to work safely side-by-side. We're looking for embedded software engineers who want to work at the intersection of hardware and software, writing code that powers our global fleet of fulfillment robots. Your embedded software will run on a 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. 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. Key job responsibilities - Design and develop embedded software for safety-critical robotics systems using modern languages (C/C++/Rust, or willingness to learn), with a focus on writing clean, maintainable code that meets safety and reliability standards - Leverage modern development tools including AI-assisted coding tools…
