Robotics - Embedded Software Development Engineer

Do you want to solve real customer problems through innovative technology? Do

you enjoy working on scalable services in a collaborative team environment? Do

you want to see your code directly impact millions of customers worldwide?

At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf

of our customers. Customer obsession is part of our company DNA, which has made

us one of the world's most beloved brands.

Our Robotics Embedded Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use modern

technology to solve complex problems while seeing their work's impact

first-hand. The challenges SDEs solve at Amazon are meaningful and influence

millions of customers, sellers, and products globally. We seek individuals

passionate about creating new products, features, and services while managing

ambiguity in an environment where development cycles are measured in weeks, not

years. You will work on large-scale fleet of robotics systems deployed across

our global fulfillment network. The code you write directly supports warehouse

associates in their daily work, enables efficient order fulfillment, and

advances the capabilities of autonomous robotics in real-world operations.

At Amazon, we believe in ownership at every level. As an SDE-I, you'll own the

entire lifecycle of your code - from design through deployment and ongoing

operations. This ownership mindset, combined with our commitment to operational

excellence, ensures we deliver the highest quality solutions for our customers.

We're looking for curious minds who think big and want to define tomorrow's

technology. At Amazon, you'll grow into the high-impact engineer you know you

can be, supported by a culture of learning and mentorship. Every day brings

exciting new challenges and opportunities for personal growth.

In this role, you'll collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines,

working with mechanical, electrical, cloud software, fleet management,

manufacturing, cybersecurity and field support teams. You'll explore the latest

development of AI and secure edge development on resource-constrained embedded

systems while adhering to rigorous safety standards and implementing

deterministic behavior that protects people interacting with automated robotic

solutions.
