Find your next role

Description

Join the Personal Robotics Group at Amazon, where you'll help pioneer intelligent robotic products that deliver meaningful customer experiences. As a Senior Software Development Engineer on the Simulation team, you'll lead the design and development of next-generation simulation infrastructure that powers robotics development across the organization. You'll own the technical architecture for our simulation core, cloud-based asset management, benchmarking infrastructure, and teleoperation tools — enabling robotics teams across the organization to iterate faster through high-fidelity simulation and synthetic data generation at scale.

In this role, you'll evaluate, adapt, and develop navigation methods that bridge the gap between state-of-the-art research and real-world deployment. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated navigation capabilities that enable meaningful robot autonomy.

Key job responsibilities
- Lead the technical architecture and development of PRG's simulation core framework, including configuration-driven environment setup, multi-robot platform support, and accurate sensor simulation
- Design and build cloud-based asset management infrastructure providing a centralized, versioned library of simulation-ready environments, robots, sensors, and objects accessible to all robotics teams
- Architect and deliver benchmarking infrastructure for standardized performance evaluation and reinforcement learning policy training across multiple robot embodiments and sensor configurations
- Optimize teleoperation workflows and tooling to accelerate and improve the quality of data collection operations, including task guidance and real-time feedback systems
- Drive sim-to-real transfer quality by establishing measurable Sim2Real Gap metrics for sensor models and validating against physical hardware
- Own infrastructure delivery across CDK pipelines, Docker containerization, and Brazil package integration for reproducible simulation environments
- Lead technical design reviews, mentor junior engineers on the team, and drive engineering best practices across the simulation codebase
- Collaborate with robotics teams across the organization to understand requirements and ensure simulation infrastructure enables their development workflows
