Job description
from Amazon careersAmazon is looking for talented Postdoctoral Scientists to join our Amazon Robotics team in Berlin for a one-year full-time research position. The Amazon Robotics team in Berlin was formed in 2022 and works to automate picking operations in Amazon fulfillment centers by retrofitting existing stations with robotic manipulators. We are looking for Postdoctoral Scientists to work at the intersection of computer vision and robotic manipulation — supporting innovations that will be deployed to real warehouses at global scale. Our team develops both the hardware and the software — including the machine learning that makes it work. We are developing solutions that let robots identify individual items out of millions and interact with the fabric pods where they're stored in clutter. The core technical challenges include understanding cluttered 3D scenes with hundreds of overlapping items, identifying a specific target among them, and planning manipulation strategies to extract or place it — all in real time, on real hardware. The solution space is deliberately open-ended. We're looking for researchers who want to push the boundaries of perception and manipulation — and see their work running on robots within months.
