Job description

Are you an embedded software engineer who wants to own the code that keeps robots safe and can prove it to the world. At Amazon Robotics, we're seeking an Embedded SDE to own our library of safety-critical software modules and drive them through formal certification.
The Compass team is building a library of safety-critical software modules that will serve as the certified safety foundation for Amazon's entire robotics fleet.

In this role, you'll own that software. Our core development team conducts R&D on novel algorithms your job is to take that R&D and translate it into production-grade, certifiable embedded software that meets the highest safety standards. You'll also work upstream, expressing requirements and constraints that the core R&D team needs to be aware of so their work can ultimately be certified.


If you want to own the software that stands between robots and the people around them and take it all the way from research prototype to certified product, then this role is for you.
Key job responsibilities
Own the library of safety-critical embedded software modules, taking full responsibility for their quality, maintainability, and certification readiness
Translate R&D algorithm code from the core development team into production-grade, certifiable embedded software that meets functional safety standards
Define and communicate software requirements and constraints upstream to the core R&D team, ensuring their algorithm development is compatible with certification objectives
Drive the software through the full safety certification lifecycle, producing the code, documentation, and evidence required for formal certification
Develop and maintain embedded software following safety-critical coding standards (e.g., MISRA C++, AUTOSAR) and best practices for deterministic, real-time execution
Collaborate with safety engineers, lab engineers, and the testing/quality SDE to ensure end-to-end traceability from safety requirements through implementation to certification evidence
A day in the life
Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment

The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include:
1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options
3.

Paid Time Off (PTO)
4. 401(k) Plan
If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you. At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets.

If you're passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!
About the team
Work with the inventors of control barrier functions on a novel, universal approach to safe autonomy: one that scales across mobile robots, manipulators, mobile manipulators, and future robot platforms with dynamic stability. You'll push the boundary of safe performance by integrating safety with motion planning, RL, and foundation models, ensuring that safety is never a blocker to robot performance. Your work will underpin robots operating alongside people at Amazon's unprecedented scale.
