Description

Amazon Industrial Robotics is building the future of manufacturing and industrial operations. Our team combines cutting-edge robotics technology with world-class software engineering to deliver AI-native solutions that operate on an unprecedented scale. We're pioneering high-performance, low-latency systems (<100ms) that coordinate complex robotic operations while continuously learning and improving from production data. You'll work with passionate builders who are customer-obsessed and committed to technical excellence in applying buffer-centric and flow optimization principles to create manufacturing environments where humans and robots work safely and efficiently together. In this environment your contributions directly impact Amazon's ability to serve customers worldwide by optimizing entire systems rather than individual components.

Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking an exceptional Software Development Engineer to build and scale software systems that enable advanced manufacturing capabilities and industrial operations. You will design, develop, and deliver critical components of our software stack, from real-time operational systems to enterprise-scale platforms, working at the forefront of AI-driven robotics and automation technology that orchestrates sophisticated operations at unprecedented scale.

As an SDE, you will apply strong technical skills to solve complex problems while collaborating with cross-functional teams including Senior Engineers, Principal Engineers, Software Development Managers, Technical Program Managers, and technology partners. You will leverage AI in development practices to enhance productivity through AWS Kiro and other AI-native development tools and contribute to building AI-enabled product capabilities. This is a ground-floor opportunity to make significant technical contributions to a strategic robotics initiative that combines cutting-edge AI, distributed systems, and advanced manufacturing processes.
