Full Job Description

Our team in Amazon Robotics builds high-performance, real-time robotic systems that can perceive, learn, and act intelligently alongside humans - at Amazon scale. Our mission is to enable robots to interact safely, efficiently, and fluently with the clutter and uncertainty of real-world fulfillment centers. Our solutions enable robots to learn from their own experiences, from each other, and from humans to build intelligence that feeds itself. We are seeking an experienced Robotics Control Engineer to join our Motion Planning and Control team. In this role, you will leverage your experience and insights gained from delivering systems to help lead us in developing products that are both innovative and scalable. Working with a world-class team of experts in motion planning, control theory, computer vision, machine learning, and robotic hardware design, you will apply the latest research trends to tackle complex real-world challenges. Collectively, we aim to achieve high-impact algorithmic advancements in areas such as closed-loop control, robotic grasping, and manipulation in high-contact environments - each of which carries significant value for our current and future fulfillment networks. Key job responsibilities - Design, simplify and continuously improve system controls architecture including machine control code, networking, electrical design and safety design - Develop controls code utilizing structured text on Codesys platforms - Identify and implement system optimizations - Work closely with hardware and software engineering team members to drive scalable, real-time implementations - Partner closely with hardware engineering team members on developing systems from prototyping to production level - Launch, test, and debug our systems both in the lab and in the field - Develop tools and best practices for system monitoring and troubleshooting, including HMI development. - Work with stakeholders across hardware, science, and operations teams to iterate on systems
