Job description

At Amazon Robotics, we design advanced robotic systems capable of intelligent perception, learning, and action alongside humans, at massive scale. Our mission is to deploy robots that increase productivity and efficiency across Amazon fulfillment centers while operating safely and robustly in complex, contact-rich environments.
We are seeking an Applied Scientist to develop manipulation controllers for robotic systems operating in contact-rich, uncertain environments. In this role, you will design force-aware control strategies grounded in impedance/admittance frameworks and augment them with data-driven policy learning to achieve robust, adaptive manipulation behaviors

You will combine physics-based modeling, control-theoretic design, and machine learning to build manipulation capabilities that generalize across objects, tasks, and operational conditions.
You will collaborate closely with experts in perception, machine learning, motion planning, controls, and software engineering to deliver solutions that perform reliably on real hardware at production scale. As part of this role, you will study and extend relevant academic and industry research in robot learning and manipulation, prototype and validate learned policies in simulation and on hardware, and transition successful approaches into production systems. Successful candidates demonstrate strong intuition for physical systems, experience applying ML to robotics problems, and the ability to reason about failure modes, edge cases, and deployment constraints in contact-rich manipulation

Clear communication, hands-on experimentation, and a bias toward practical impact are essential.
Key job responsibilities
- Research, design, implement, and evaluate machine learning-based manipulation policies for contact-rich tasks, integrating learning with feedback control, estimation, and motion planning.
- Develop learning frameworks that leverage simulation, real-world data, and hybrid physics- and data-driven models to enable robust agency interaction, grasping, insertion, and object handling.
- Design and execute experiments in simulation and on hardware to train, validate, and stress-test learned manipulation policies under real-world variability and uncertainty.
- Collaborate with software engineering teams to deliver scalable, real-time, and maintainable implementations of learning-based manipulation algorithms in production robotic systems.
- Partner with cross-functional teams across perception, hardware, systems engineering, science, and operations to transition learned policies from research prototypes to reliable, production-ready capabilities across Amazon Robotics platforms.

Amazon.com, Inc., commonly known as Amazon, is an American multinational technology company. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and initially started as an online marketplace for books. Since then, Amazon has expanded its operations and become one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world. Amazon's primary business is its online retail platform, where customers can purchase a vast array of products, including electronics, clothing, books, home goods, and much more. The company offers a convenient and user-friendly shopping experience, with features such as fast shipping, customer reviews, and personalized recommendations. In addition to its e-commerce platform, Amazon has diversified its business into various other areas. One of its notable ventures is Amazon Web Services (AWS), a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides services such as storage, compute power, and database management to individuals and businesses. AWS has become a leader in the cloud computing industry, powering many websites and applications worldwide. Amazon has also developed its own consumer electronics, including the popular Amazon Kindle e-reader, Fire tablets, Fire TV streaming devices, and the Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers. The Alexa voice assistant, integrated into these devices, allows users to interact with their devices using voice commands, perform tasks, and access information. Furthermore, Amazon has expanded into media and entertainment. It operates Prime Video, a streaming service that offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, and original content. Amazon Music provides a platform for streaming and purchasing digital music, while Audible offers audiobooks and other audio content. The company's commitment to customer satisfaction and convenience is demonstrated by its membership program, Amazon Prime. Prime members receive various benefits, including free two-day shipping, access to streaming services, exclusive deals, and more.
