Job Description
Description As a Software Development Engineer II on the Autonomous Mobility (AMS) Motion team, you will own critical navigation software components such as task planning, motion planning and control. You will work on supporting and evolving our production robotics systems, developing generalizations that enable our robots to operate in new environments and use cases. You will also have an opportunity to be involved in development of ML and AI-based motion planning and task planning systems. Your work will directly impact tens of thousands of fully autonomous robots operating safely alongside people in fulfillment centers worldwide. You will be part of a collaborative team of Applied Scientists and Software Development Engineers. You'll work closely with teams across Perception, SLAM, Infrastructure, Fleet Management, and Coordination Services to deliver robust, scalable, and highly reliable autonomous navigation solutions. This role offers a unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technologies including real-time robotics systems, machine learning, and agentic AI while seeing your code deployed on a production fleet at massive scale. Key job responsibilities Specific areas of focus may include (but are not limited too):
- Design, develop, and deploy software for task planning, motion planning, and control systems for autonomous mobile robots
- Build scalable, generalizable, and highly reliable systems with comprehensive metrics monitoring and regression alarming
- Support production robotics systems deployed across Amazon's fulfillment network, troubleshooting issues and implementing improvements
- Develop generalizations that enable autonomous navigation capabilities to scale to new environments and use cases
- Collaborate with Applied Scientists to integrate machine learning models into production motion planning and control systems
- Work with cross-functional teams (Perception, SLAM, Infrastructure, Fleet Management) to deliver end-to-end autonomous navigation solutions
- Contribute to the full software development lifecycle including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support
- Write high-quality, maintainable code primarily in C++ and TypeScript, with exposure to Python, Java, ROS/ROS2, TensorFlow, TensorRT, and PyTorch A day in the life Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children.
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with C++ or TypeScript in production environments
- Experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS or ROS2
- Experience implementing autonomous navigation systems (motion planning, perception, SLAM), or task planning and action generation from machine learning models
- Experience with machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, TensorRT, PyTorch) and integrating ML models into production systems
- Experience with embedded systems or real-time software development Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.
