Software Development Engineer II, Amazon Industrial Robotics
Amazon Fulfillment Technologies & Robotics
Description
Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction.
If you’re passionate about safety and performance and have an interest in robotics systems, then we’d like to talk to you about becoming part of an organization with global impact on millions of customers.
Key job responsibilities
The ideal candidate is enthusiastic about building the right solutions for our customers and will collaborate with other teams to ensure that our product will meet Amazon-scale. They will:
- Work with multiple components including networking/Wi-Fi, security, robustness, and versatility of control approaches on a modern actuation and system hardware.
- Contribute to the architecture of these complex systems and work effectively with team members to implement solutions.
- Develop solutions that balance performance and maintainability under the guidance of senior engineers.
A day in the life
As a Software Engineer you will work within cross functional teams to develop, test, and debug both our low-level sensing and motor control firmware and integrate it into a mid-level real time software controlling the entire robotic system. The development process will involve contributing to the design process, analyzing potential pitfalls of proposed approaches, and implementing new products and features. Testing efforts involve writing automated tests to vet the newly created features and live testing to debug and root cause issues.
Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 3+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 2+ years of contributing to new and current systems architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) experience

- 3+ years of experience in developing and maintaining robotics control systems in Simulink in a Hardware-In-the-Loop setting, and transferring the results to an operational robotic system
- Direct, hands-on experience with developing and debugging complex embedded systems
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- 4+ years of development experience within an embedded environment or with robotic systems
- 2+ years experience developing embedded C applications that use an RTOS (such as FreeRTOS, uC-OS, Zephyr, VxWorks, QNX) and embedded Linux environments
- Experience with open-source Linux-based development tools and architectures
