The Amazon Robotics Autonomous Mobility software team develops the autonomy software that powers Proteus, Amazon’s first fully autonomous warehouse robot. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our perception and localization team. You will be part of an exceptional group of engineers building the platform and architecture for our onboard mapping, perception, motion planning and control software. In addition, you will collaborate with engineers and scientists across the team to develop and enhance our real-time multi-robot simulation capabilities.
Key job responsibilities
Specific areas of focus may include (but are not limited too):
– Evaluating and integrating new sensors into the autonomy software stack.
– Developing sensor fusion techniques for obstacle detection and localization.
– Developing software for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) shared across a robot fleet.
– Developing machine-learning capabilities and infrastructure for robotic perception and localization.
– Optimizing runtime performance of autonomy algorithms by exploiting underlying hardware acceleration capabilities.
– Building frameworks for large-scale replay and analysis of events in pre-recorded sensor data.
– Building frameworks to monitor and manage resource utilization on embedded compute platform.
– Building visualization tools for analyzing and debugging robot behavior.
About the team
We are a multi-disciplinary team of Applied Scientists and Software Engineers with expertise in Computer Vision, SLAM, motion planning and controls. Our mission is to deliver a robust software solution the utilizes state-of-the-art sensor technologies and algorithms to enable safe and efficient operation of autonomous mobile robots throughout the Amazon fulfillment and transportation network. We take this mission seriously and work hard to achieve it, but we have a lot of fun along the way. After all, what’s more fun than building robots?
