Software Development Engineer, Amazon Robotics (AR)
North Reading, Massachusetts
Are you excited about developing AI/ML solutions to revolutionize robotics and automation? Are you looking for opportunities to build and deploy them on real problems at truly vast scale? At Amazon Fulfillment Technologies and Robotics we are on a mission to build high-performance autonomous systems that perceive and act to further improve our world-class customer experience - at Amazon scale.
The Research team at Amazon Robotics is seeking a passionate and collaborative SDE with strong science background to help create the world's first foundation model for a many-robot system. The focus of this position is how to predict the future state of our warehouses that feature a thousand or more mobile robots in constant motion making deliveries around the building. It includes designing, training, and deploying large-scale models using data from hundreds of warehouses under different operating conditions. This work spans from implementing research ideas, such as alternative representations and learning architectures, to experimenting using simulation tools, to running large-scale A/B tests on robots in our facilities, and working with adjacent science and engineering teams to deploy solutions in our vast robot fleet.
Key job responsibilities
* Support for research vision development - Iterate over possible directions by proving/dis-proving strategies in offline data or in simulation
* Production studies - Insights from production data or ad-hoc experimentation
* Production implementation - Building key parts of deployed algorithms or models
