Job description

Software Development Engineer, Autonomous Fleet Services

Job ID: 10499160 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Amazon Robotics Autonomous Fleet Services (AFS) is building the intelligence that turns autonomous robots into fleets that work together. Our software orchestrates thousands of robots across some of the most complex logistics operations in the world, so that every robot, every task, and every minute counts. We are growing and seek a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated Software Development Engineer to help build our Fleet Management system.

The Fleet Management team builds the brain of the fleet: the system that sees everything happening on the floor, decides what every robot does next, and keeps operations running as conditions change around it. As an SDE on this team, you will own significant components of that system, from the services that turn arriving work into tasks to the logic that assigns and re-assigns those tasks as robots, floor space and deadlines shift. You will design and build features end to end, take them through code review and launch, and carry them in production once they are live. You will contribute to design reviews for systems other teams depend on, and grow into the calls that decide how the fleet behaves under load and under failure. The systems you help build will scale to thousands of robots working safely and efficiently alongside people, and grow as Amazon's robotics footprint expands across the globe.

Key job responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement robotic applications and infrastructure.


• Influence the team's strategy and contribute to long-term vision and roadmap.


• Work with stakeholders across the organization to iterate on design and implementation.


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


• Prototype and test concepts or features, both through simulation and emulators and with live robotic equipment.


• Work directly with customers and partners to test prototypes and incorporate feedback.


• Mentor other engineers on the team.
