Amazon Robotics is seeking Applied Scientists to join their perception, planning, and foundation model team to develop Mobile Manipulators for new robotic applications, aiming to build the platform and architecture for advanced robotics systems.
Requirements
- 3+ years of building models for business application experience
- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
- Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
- Experience using Unix/Linux
- Experience in professional software development
Responsibilities
- Scene perception fusing multiple sensing modalities, simultaneously detecting and tracking many 3D objects in spatially complex and time-varying workspaces.
- Visual servoing and impedance (force) based control to achieve the highest levels of spatial precision.
- High-level task planning for long-running and ambiguous automation roles with broad exception paths.
- Whole-body motion planning with tiered levels of dynamic fidelity and time horizons to trade off performance, completeness, and computational complexity.
- Developing machine-learning capabilities and infrastructure for robotic perception and motion - integrating the latest vision language action models to expand generalizability beyond the state of the art.
- Optimizing runtime performance of robotic algorithms by exploiting underlying hardware acceleration capabilities.
- Building frameworks for large-scale replay and analysis of events in pre-recorded sensor data.
