Excited about bringing hardware devices to life? The Amazon Consumer Devices group brings together new advancements in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor and motor technology, voice and edge computing to push the boundaries of what's possible. Come join us and see what we're building next!

Amazon is at the forefront of designing innovative technologies and products in the robotics field and other innovative "zero to one" product concepts. Our team has a proven track record of bringing V0 devices to market, including Astro, Amazon's first home robot, and Echo Show 10, with its motion tracking display. These products are just the beginning of our ambitions in the consumer robotics and smart device space.

We're developing next-generation devices that combine advanced mobility systems, sophisticated sensor fusion, real-time control, and AI to create entirely new product categories. Our work spans multiple domains, from low-level motor control and sensor integration to complex behavioral systems that enable our devices to interact naturally with users in dynamic home environments.

We are seeking a seasoned software developer to join our team as a key technical authority. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience developing hard real-time electromechanical systems and a proven track record of delivering robust, production-grade software. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing software across diverse computing platforms, tackling the complexities of our multi-processor systems that handle control and sensing.

Your expertise in embedded software architecture and experience in deploying production-grade software across multiple, diverse computing elements and operating systems will be crucial. If you're passionate about creating innovative consumer robotics and other disruptive devices, and have a strong background in embedded systems development, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of Amazon's next-generation products.


Key job responsibilities
* Design and implement sophisticated embedded software architectures for robotic systems and innovative consumer devices
* Lead technical decisions for cross-platform software deployment strategies in complex, multi-processor environments
* Drive system-level architecture decisions and facilitate cross-functional technical alignment
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams and advise on new product concept architecture
* Establish and enforce scalable processes for software development, testing, and deployment
* Provide technical guidance and mentorship to team members
* Solve challenging technical problems spanning from low-level motor control to complex behavioral systems

A day in the life
As a Senior Robotics Embedded Software Developer at Amazon, your typical day might include:
* Start with a daily standup meeting with your immediate team
* Debug a complex timing issue reported in the motion control subsystem
* Collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize a new sensor integration
* Lead an architecture review meeting for a new feature implementation
* Write and review code for real-time control algorithms
* Mentor team members on embedded systems best practices

Throughout your week, you can expect to:
* Participate in 2-3 design reviews for new features or architecture changes
* Spend 40-50% of your time writing and reviewing code
* Dedicate 20-30% to hands-on laboratory work with prototype devices
* Invest 15-20% in technical leadership activities including mentoring and architecture planning
* Engage in cross-functional meetings with product, hardware, and systems teams

You'll work primarily from our office location, with access to dedicated robotics laboratory spaces, hardware development tools and equipment, collaborative workspaces, prototyping shops
