Embedded Software Development Engineer II, Amazon Robotics Firmware Job ID: 10458828 | Amazon.com Services LLC Join Amazon Robotics' Embedded software team to tackle one of the most exciting challenges in robotics: creating intelligent safety systems that enable humans and robots to work safely side‑by‑side. We're looking for embedded software engineers who want to work at the intersection of hardware and software, writing code that powers our global fleet of fulfillment robots. Your embedded software will run on a large‑scale fleet of robotics systems deployed across our global fulfillment network. The code you write directly supports warehouse associates in their daily work, enables efficient order fulfillment, and advances the capabilities of autonomous robotics in real‑world operations. In this role, you'll collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines, working with mechanical, electrical, cloud software, fleet management, manufacturing, cybersecurity and field support teams. You'll explore the latest development of AI and secure edge development on resource‑constrained embedded systems while adhering to rigorous safety standards and implementing deterministic behavior that protects people interacting with automated robotic solutions. Key job responsibilities Design and develop embedded software for safety‑critical robotics systems using modern languages (C/C++/Rust, or willingness to learn), with a focus on writing clean, maintainable code that meets safety and reliability standards Leverage modern development tools including AI‑assisted coding tools and LLMs to enhance productivity, code quality, and development velocity Collaborate across disciplines with hardware engineers, manufacturing teams, robotics specialists, and software developers to deliver integrated solutions from concept through deployment and field support Contribute throughout the product lifecycle following agile software development approach to capture requirements, design software architecture, implement, test, deploy and maintain embedded systems firmware Engage in collaborative code reviews to share knowledge, learn from peers, and collectively improve code quality, system reliability, and user experience Debug and optimize embedded systems in both lab and field environments, developing creative solutions to complex hardware‑software integration challenges Mentor and grow alongside team members through knowledge sharing, technical discussions, and collaborative problem‑solving A day in the life Engineering at Amazon Robotics is fast‑paced, and your day will often interleave responding to field events with longer‑term new product development. Peer teams are quick to share discoveries and new approaches that can enhance our work. Mentorship is part of everyday life at AR—senior engineers will gladly sit with you to walk through an unfamiliar tool, Slack you links to FAQs and technical wiki pages, or pair program through a tricky debugging session. Functional Safety teams provide feedback on how changes impact regulatory submissions and guide you toward the best approaches to minimize review cycles while enhancing safety. What makes our days different Real problems, real urgency: When a fleet issue arises, you're solving problems that affect actual operations—not theoretical edge cases Continuous learning: New tools, techniques, and technologies are constantly being shared across teams Collaborative problem‑solving: Impromptu technical discussions at whiteboards or in Slack threads are favored over lengthy presentations Autonomy with support: You'll own your features end‑to‑end while having immediate access to experts when you need guidance Variety: No two days are identical—you'll balance firefighting, feature development, cross‑functional collaboration, and innovation About the team We're a high‑performing team that values technical excellence without perfectionism paralysis, collaboration over hero engineering, continuous learning and knowledge sharing, work‑life balance, and leverages diverse perspectives (our best solutions come from varied backgrounds). We develop embedded safety systems deployed across Amazon's robotic fleet with safety‑certified solutions that combine rigorous standards compliance with deterministic, reliable performance. Our secret sauce is integrating safety considerations from initial design through delivery, enabling us to meet ambitious schedules without compromising quality. As Amazon's automation portfolio expands, our team has evolved into specialized groups united by common DNA and a shared commitment to excellence in safety‑critical embedded software development. Basic Qualifications Bachelor's degree or equivalent 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience Experience in embedded development in C/C++ Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations Preferred Qualifications 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience Experience with general troubleshooting/debugging of hardware Experience writing low level drivers Experience in embedded wireless systems Knowledge of computer architecture, operating systems, and parallel computing Benefits The base salary range for this position is $143,700.00 to $194,400.00 USD annually. Your Amazon package will include sign‑on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits that include health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
