EmbeddedSoftwareEngineer,SafetyPerception

Amazon Robotics is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with Rust programming expertise to join our Safety Perception team and help build the safety-rated sensor processing firmware for one of the world's largest autonomous robot fleets. In this role, you will develop embedded firmware on heterogeneous multi-core ARM platforms — writing real-time safety applications, sensor processing pipelines, and system interfaces that enable robots operating in Amazon facilities worldwide to detect and respond to obstacles safely and reliably. We are looking for someone who is proficient in Rust (or strong in C/C++ and eager to work in Rust), is comfortable working across the boundary between RTOS and Linux on the same chip, has experience with sensor data acquisition or signal processing, and can collaborate effectively with cross-functional hardware, functional safety, and navigation teams to deliver firmware that meets the rigor of IEC 61508 functional safety certification. Key job responsibilities The ideal candidate is passionate about building the right solutions for our customers and willing to work with other teams to ensure that our product meets Amazon-scale while simultaneously raising the bar for our custsomers' safety. They will: - Develop and maintain safety-rated and non-safety-rated embedded firmware in Rust on heterogeneous multi-core platforms where real-time safety code and Linux-based services coexist on the same chip. - Work across the full sensor processing pipeline; from driver integration and frame acquisition, through point cloud generation, to real-time collision detection — ensuring data integrity through black-channel diagnostics. - Design and implement perception features that enable autonomous robots to detect and respond to obstacles under the constraints of IEC 61508 functional safety certification. - Contribute to system interfaces and tooling (gRPC/protobuf APIs, CLI tools, visualization) that serve navigation, manufacturing, and field provisio
