Job description

There’s a universe of opportunity at Amazon.

At Amazon, your career doesn’t follow a straight line. It accelerates, twists, and challenges you in ways you never expected. From the moment you join, you’re part of something big: building products or services that reach millions and shaping how people live, work, and connect every day. This is where your ideas turn into real impact. You’ll work with world class tools, global platforms, and systems built to operate at an extraordinary scale. You’ll move fast, experiment and launch solutions that matter. With endless opportunities to explore across teams and roles, you’ll learn quickly, apply what you know and discover skills you didn’t know existed. This is an environment designed for builders who want to see the impact of their work in the world. Ready to start your adventure?

What’s in it for you? An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You’ll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus.

The robotics internship join dates, length, location, and prospective team will be finalized at the time of any applicable job offers. In your application, you will be able to provide your preference of start dates, internship duration, and location. While your preference will be taken into consideration, we cannot guarantee that we can meet your selection based on several factors including but not limited to the internship availability and business needs of this role.
