Massachusetts Veterans Jobs

Description

Are you excited about building high-performance simulations of robotic solutions that can perceive, learn, and act intelligently alongside humans? The Robotics team is creating new products and technologies that make this possible, at scale. The Virtual Systems team is seeking broad, curious engineers to join our diverse, full-stack team. In addition to holistically designing, building, and delivering end-to-end robotic simulation solutions, our team is responsible for the core infrastructure that serves as the backbone of our robotic applications, enabling roboticists, machine learning scientists, and engineers to collaborate and deploy in the lab and in the field. Our work spans real-time and discrete event simulators, machine learning, engineering, big data, containerized infrastructure, and more. In this particular role, you will work closely with both world-leading scientists and product teams across Amazon, playing a pivotal role in translating research into real robotics deployed across our fulfillment network.

Key job responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement robotic applications for robotic solution simulations.

• Work with stakeholders across hardware, science, and operations teams to iterate on design and implementation.

• Create robust, high-quality, well-tested software to interface with and sensors, actuators, and other hardware.

• Collaborate with machine learning and robotic controls experts to implement and deploy algorithms, such as machine learning models.

• Create simulations to profile, tune, and optimize performance.

• Create re-usable software components to accelerate robotics .

• Maintain high standards by participating in reviews, designing for fault tolerance and operational excellence, and creating mechanisms for continuous improvement.
