Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Robotics is seeking Applied Scientists to join our perception, planning, and foundation model team in developing Mobile Manipulators for new robotic applications. As part of an exceptional group of scientists and engineers, you will help build the platform and architecture for advanced robotics systems. This includes developing onboard perception, mapping, high-level task planning, whole-body motion planning, and sensing-based closed-loop control software, along with end-to-end foundation models. You'll collaborate with a world-class hardware team while utilizing state-of-the-art simulation tools and embodied AI technology.

Key job responsibilities
Specific areas of focus may include (but are not limited too):

* Scene perception fusing multiple sensing modalities, simultaneously detecting and tracking many 3D objects in spatially complex and time-varying workspaces.
* Visual servoing and impedance (force) based control to achieve the highest levels of spatial precision.
* Experimenting and evaluating new sensors and new mechanical embodiment designs.
* High-level task planning for long-running and ambiguous automation roles with broad exception paths.
* Whole-body motion planning with tiered levels of dynamic fidelity and time horizons to trade off performance, completeness, and computational complexity.
* Localization challenges in new and unstructured environments.
* Developing machine-learning capabilities and infrastructure for robotic perception and motion - integrating the latest vision language action models to expand generalizability beyond the state of the art.
* Optimizing runtime performance of robotic algorithms by exploiting underlying hardware acceleration capabilities.
* Building frameworks for large-scale replay and analysis of events in pre-recorded sensor data.
* Building frameworks to monitor and manage resource utilization on embedded compute platform.
* Building visualization tools for analyzing and debugging robot behavior.
