Full Job Description

About the Role Amazon Robotics is transforming warehouse automation through edge AI and machine learning applied to real-world robotics challenges. We're seeking a Senior Applied Scientist to advance our mobile manipulation capabilities by developing learning-based approaches that enable robots to navigate and manipulate objects in dynamic fulfillment environments. This role offers the opportunity to apply state-of-the-art research to production systems operating at Amazon's unprecedented scale. What You'll Do As a Senior Applied Scientist, you'll develop and deploy machine learning models that enable mobile manipulators to perform complex tasks autonomously. You'll work at the intersection of perception, learning, and control to create intelligent systems that can adapt to diverse warehouse scenarios with minimal task-specific programming. Key job responsibilities • Design, develop, train, and deploy deep learning models for perception tasks (e.g., object detection, segmentation, pose estimation, tracking) • Develop and maintain robust camera calibration pipelines (intrinsic, extrinsic, hand-eye calibration, multi-camera systems) • Build perception systems for robotic manipulation including grasp detection, object pose estimation, and visual servoing • Improve model performance through architecture optimization, data curation, and training strategies • Build and maintain production-quality perception codebases with proper testing and documentation • Profile and optimize models for real-time inference on embedded/edge platforms • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (robotics, motion planning, controls) to integrate perception outputs for manipulation tasks • Establish best practices for model versioning, experiment tracking, and MLOps • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical roadmap planning 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.
