Sr. Software Dev Engineer

Job description

from Amazon careers

Amazon is seeking an exceptional Senior Software Engineer to own automation capability for next-generation advanced robotics systems. You will establish Amazon's simulation/emulation and automation competency at unprecedented scale, serving as the technical owner for automation pipelines, simulation/emulation test bed and related software systems across our product line.

You will build deep partnerships with internal robotics teams, architect our simulation infrastructure, and influence product design from concept through production deployment. This role requires scaling automated testing and validation at volume including building adversarial models —combined with a career establishing software platforms, managing complex technical programs, and leading cross-functional initiatives. You will partner with engineering leaders across the robotics organization, shape our product architecture for testability and automation, and define our roadmap.

Key job responsibilities
- End-to-End Architectural Vision for Autonomous Validation: Provide the architectural vision for a digital twin-based, AI-driven autonomous validation framework using simulation as the baseline. Influence cross-org deliverables to meet the architectural vision and disambiguate technical needs from a validation perspective.
- Digital Twin Enablement: Enable software hooks to realize digital twin capabilities and enable launchable instances of these digital twins with comprehensive metrics and observability.
- Adversary Testing & Platform Integration: Interface with the platform team to enable adversary testing of the simulation platform, ensuring robustness and resilience under edge-case and failure-mode scenarios.
- Setting HIL test beds and continuous validation. Building CICD pipelines
- Virtualized Dynamic Environments for Field Testability: Provide virtualized dynamic environments that allow for realizing the testability of software in field environments, enabling rapid iteration and validation without physical deployment.
- Safety Qualification through Simulation: Provide virtualized dynamic environments to qualify software for safety, ensuring compliance with safety standards and enabling rigorous validation of autonomous behaviors prior to real-world deployment.

Basic Qualifications

- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
