About

Overview 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.
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 an 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.
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. 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 experience—including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations.
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.
