Description
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.
