Job description
We are seeking an Applied Scientist to join Compass. In this role, you will own the interface between contact-rich manipulation and the Compass safety software in unstructured environments. You will design learning-based and model-based approaches to contact-rich manipulation when the environment changes unexpectedly.
You will collaborate with perception, planning, and controls teams to close the loop from object detection through grasp execution, and you will deploy your algorithms on physical hardware across multiple manipulator platforms. This is an opportunity to define how Amazon's robots safely interact with the physical world: picking, placing, and handling the enormous diversity of objects that flow through our network.
Key job responsibilities
Develop and deploy manipulation algorithms for contact-rich tasks and placement across diverse object geometries and material properties
Design force-controlled manipulation strategies that operate safely within Amazon Compass safety constraints
Build reactive manipulation policies that detect and recover from failures (slips, missed grasps, unexpected contacts) in real time
Develop learning-based manipulation policies using RL, imitation learning, or hybrid approaches, and transfer them from simulation to physical hardware
Define and maintain the interface contract between manipulation algorithms and the Compass safety layer, ensuring that grasp and motion plans respect safety bounds without unnecessary conservatism
Collaborate with perception teams to leverage object pose estimation, tactile sensing, and contact detection for closed-loop manipulation
Design simulation environments and training curricula for manipulation policy learning, including realistic contact physics and object diversity
Evaluate manipulation performance through systematic hardware experiments, measuring grasp success rates, cycle times, and safety compliance
Contribute to scientific publications and internal technical documentation
Participate in cross-team design reviews and contribute to the broader manipulation and safety architecture

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 unprecendented scale.
About Amazon

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.
