Original job description

Description

Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine innovative AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction. This role presents an opportunity to shape the future of robotics through innovative applications of deep learning and large language models.

We leverage advanced robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to solve complex operational challenges at unprecedented scale. Our fleet of robots operates across hundreds of facilities worldwide, working in sophisticated coordination to fulfill our mission of customer excellence.

We are pioneering the development of robotics foundation models that:

Enable unprecedented generalization across diverse tasks
Integrate multi-modal learning capabilities (visual, tactile, linguistic)
Accelerate skill acquisition through demonstration learning
Enhance robotic perception and environmental understanding
Streamline development processes through reusable capabilities

The ideal candidate will contribute to research that bridges the gap between theoretical advancement and practical implementation in robotics. You will be part of a team that's revolutionizing how robots learn, adapt, and interact with their environment.

Join us in building the next generation of intelligent robotics systems that will transform the future of automation and human-robot collaboration.

As an Applied Scientist, you will develop and improve machine learning systems that help robots perceive, reason, and act in real-world environments. You will leverage state-of-the-art models (open source and internal research), evaluate them on representative tasks, and adapt/optimize them to meet robustness, safety, and performance needs. You will invent new algorithms where gaps exist. You’ll collaborate closely with research, controls, hardware, and product-facing teams, and your outputs will be used by downstream teams to further customize and deploy on specific robot embodiments.

Key job responsibilities

As an Applied Scientist in the Foundations Model team, you will:

Leverage state-of-the-art models for targeted tasks, environments, and robot embodiments through fine-tuning and optimization.
Execute rapid, rigorous experimentation with reproducible results and solid engineering practices, closing the gap between sim and real environments.
Build and run capability evaluations/benchmarks to clearly profile performance, generalization, and failure modes.
Contribute to the data and training workflow: collection/curation, dataset quality/provenance, and repeatable training recipes.
Write clean, maintainable, well commented and documented code, contribute to training infrastructure, create tools for model evaluation and testing, and implement necessary APIs
Stay current with latest developments in foundation models and robotics, assist in literature reviews and research documentation, prepare technical reports and presentations, and contribute to research discussions and brainstorming sessions.
Work closely with senior scientists, engineers, and leaders across multiple teams, participate in knowledge sharing, support integration efforts with robotics hardware teams, and help document best practices and methodologies.

Basic Qualifications

2+ years of building models for business application experience
Knowledge of programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Java or Perl
PhD, or Master’s + 4+ years building ML models/algorithms in applied settings
2+ years hands-on experience in deep learning with strength in at least one: computer vision, multimodal models, imitation learning / RL for robotics, or human-robot interaction
Ability to design rigorous experiments, analyze results, and iterate quickly with reproducible baselines
Demonstrated technical contributions (e.g., publications, patents, open-source, or impactful internal systems)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience using Unix/Linux
Experience in professional software development
