About the Role

The Coordination team at Amazon is seeking a talented and motivated Sr. Engineer to architect, design, develop, and test technologies that control and optimize robotic fulfillment used by .com operations.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer on the Coordination team, you will be a key member of a diverse team of engineers who deliver highly scalable robotic systems. You will architect, design, and implement systems that perform the detailed planning and execution of movement for hundreds of thousands of robotic drives within Amazon's Robotics solution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and implement distributed systems applications and infrastructure in support of robotic movement.
  • Influence the team's strategy and contribute to long-term vision and roadmap.
  • Work with stakeholders across solutions architecture and operations teams to iterate on design and implementation.
  • Maintain high standards by participating in reviews, designing for fault tolerance and operational excellence, and creating mechanisms for continuous improvement.
  • Prototype and test concepts or features, both through simulation and emulators and with live robotic equipment.
  • Work directly with customers and partners to test prototypes and incorporate feedback.
  • Mentor other engineer team members.
  • Utilize software engineering processes and technologies.

About the Team

The Coordination team builds modular software that directs movement of Amazon Robotics (AR) mobile robots in the Amazon Fulfillment network. The team develops, maintains, and supports Tier-1 software that translates high-level delivery and path plans into executable commands. These commands control, monitor, and coordinate interactions of drive units across the Amazon Robotic floor and coordinate equipment interactions with the drive units.

Basic Qualifications
