Senior Embedded Robotics SDE, Compass

About the role

Are you an embedded software engineer who wants to own the code that keeps robots safe and can prove it to the world? At Amazon Robotics, we're seeking an Embedded SDE to own our library of safety-critical software modules and drive them through formal certification.

Responsibilities

• Own the library of safety-critical embedded software modules, taking full responsibility for their quality, maintainability, and certification readiness
• Translate R&D algorithm code from the core development team into production-grade, certifiable embedded software that meets functional safety standards
• Define and communicate software requirements and constraints upstream to the core R&D team, ensuring their algorithm development is compatible with certification objectives
• Drive the software through the full safety certification lifecycle, producing the code, documentation, and evidence required for formal certification
• Develop and maintain embedded software following safety-critical coding standards (e.g., MISRA C++, AUTOSAR) and best practices for deterministic, real-time execution
• Collaborate with safety engineers, lab engineers, and the testing/quality SDE to ensure end-to-end traceability from safety requirements through implementation to certification evidence

Qualifications

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
• 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
