Applied Science Manager, Amazon Robotics

Job ID: 2832327 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Do you want to create intelligent, adaptable robots with global impact? At Amazon Robotics, our collaborative team builds high-performance, real-time robotic systems that perceive, plan, and act intelligently alongside humans—at Amazon scale. Our mission is to enable robots to interact safely, efficiently, and fluently through the complex challenges of a company that sells everything, everywhere. We target high-impact algorithmic unlocks in areas such as scene and activity understanding, large-scale generative models, closed-loop control, robotic grasping and manipulation—all of which have high-value impact for our current and future fulfillment networks. Our solutions enable robots to learn from their own experiences, from each other, and from humans to build intelligence that feeds itself.

We are seeking an experienced Applied Science Manager to lead a team of talented applied scientists and software engineers developing and deploying advanced manipulation strategies and algorithms. You will drive innovation that enables manipulation in high-contact, high-density, and diverse conditions with the speed and reliability that will delight our customers. Collaborating with cross-functional teams across hardware, software, and science, you will deliver reliable and high-performing solutions that will scale across geographies, applications, and conditions.

You should enjoy the process of solving real-world problems that, quite frankly, haven’t been solved at scale anywhere before. Along the way, we guarantee you’ll get opportunities to be a fearless disruptor, prolific innovator, and a reputed problem solver—someone who truly enables robotics to significantly impact the lives of millions of consumers.

A day in the life
  1. Prioritize being a great people manager: motivating, rewarding, and coaching your diverse team is the most important part of this role. You will recruit and retain top talent and excel in people and performance management tasks.
  2. Set a vision for the team and create the technical roadmap that delivers results for customers while thinking big for future applications.
  3. Guide the research, design, deployment, and evaluation of complex motion planning and control algorithms for contact-rich, cluttered, real-world manipulation problems.
  4. Work closely with perception, hardware, and software teams to create integrated robotic solutions that are better than the sum of their parts.
  5. Implement best practices in applied research and software development, managing project timelines, resources, and deliverables effectively.

Amazon offers a full range of benefits for you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment. The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include:

  1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
  2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options
  3. Paid Time Off (PTO)
  4. 401(k) Plan

If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply
