Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Do you want to create intelligent, adaptable robots with global impact? At Amazon Robotics, our collaborative team builds high-performance, real-time robotic systems that perceive, plan, and act intelligently alongside humans—at Amazon scale. Our mission is to enable robots to interact safely, efficiently, and fluently through the complex challenges of a company that sells everything, everywhere. We target high-impact algorithmic unlocks in areas such as scene and activity understanding, large-scale generative models, closed-loop control, robotic grasping and manipulation—all of which have high-value impact for our current and future fulfillment networks. 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 a Test and Validation Software Engineer to ensure our motion planning and control algorithms are robust and reliable the complex, ever-changing environments we encounter globally. In this role, you will collaborate closely with scientists and engineers to design and execute experiments that push the limits of our systems and monitor algorithm performance in the field. You will develop automated testing pipelines and create representative lab experiments that have predictive power about future real-world performance. Your rigorous approach and strong analytical skills will help us create high-performance behaviors in the lab that reliably translate into sustained, real-world results for our customers.
You should enjoy the process of solving real-world problems that, quite frankly, haven’t been solved at scale anywhere before. Along the way, we guarantee you’ll get opportunities to be a fearless disruptor, prolific innovator, and a reputed problem solver—someone who truly enables robotics to significantly impact the lives of millions of consumers.
Key job responsibilities
- Formulate and implement validation plans that rigorously assess new robot behaviors and control algorithms, ensuring system reliability under various operational scenarios.
- Design, create and oversee experiments in simulated and real-world environments, ensuring testing conditions provide predictive power to real-world deployments.
- Create, maintain, and support the infrastructure required to generate high-quality testing data, including developing robotic test bed hardware and software, automated testing pipelines, and report generation.
- Collect, process, and analyze experimental data to evaluate system performance to drive actionable insights and improvements.
- Document and present experimental designs, methodologies, and results with clarity and precision to cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
- Advocate for best practices in robotic testing and validation, promote a culture of rigor and excellence, and stay current on advances in methodologies and technologies relevant to robotics.
