Senior Systems Dev Engineer, Compass
About the role
At Amazon Robotics, we're seeking a Senior Systems Dev Engineer who can bridge the gap between lab hardware and software development cycles, ensuring our safety technology matures rapidly and reliably.
Responsibilities
- Own the development and buildout of the new Compass lab space, including hardware selection, environment design, and test fixture development for algorithm evaluation
- Design, implement, and maintain the full testing suite supporting all three development loops: feasibility evaluation, benchmarking/maturation, and scalability/optimization
- Define and track metrics across development loops to measure algorithm progress, identify bottlenecks, and streamline iteration cycles
- Develop benchmarking frameworks and test scenarios that rigorously evaluate algorithm performance across robot platforms and operating conditions
- Collaborate with algorithm developers to define test requirements, acceptance criteria, and pass/fail thresholds for each development stage
- Own the scalability and performance testing infrastructure, ensuring algorithms meet real-time and resource constraints as they move toward production

Benefits
Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support 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.
About the team
Work with the inventors of control barrier functions on a novel, universal approach to safe autonomy: one that scales across mobile robots, manipulators, mobile manipulators, and future robot platforms with dynamic stability. You'll push the boundary of safe performance by integrating safety with motion planning, RL, and foundation models, ensuring that safety is never a blocker to robot performance. Your work will underpin robots operating alongside people at Amazon's unprecedented scale.
