Job description

Amazon Robotics Vulcan is a robotic stowing system that uses a robot arm with a custom end-of-arm tool to place customer items into fulfillment center storage bins, alongside human associates. We operate in live fulfillment centers today and are scaling to additional sites globally. The Vulcan Motion team owns the motion stack that makes every interaction between the robot and the bin safe, fast, and predictable: real-time force-controlled manipulation, motion planning for insert and retract behaviors, compliant contact behaviors, and the safety envelope around all of it.
We have many areas that need experienced scientists to drive from prototype to deployment at a global scale

For example: the framework our team uses to design, benchmark, and select controllers for each contact-rich behavior; the long-term controller roadmap with our industrial robot-arm vendors; the functional-safety envelope for live deployment; and the recovery architecture the robot uses when unexpected contact occurs. You may own one or two of these arcs depending on team needs and your strengths.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will write production C++ and Python, review code, and hold the technical bar on real-time control design selections that affect every cycle the robot executes

You will lead collaborations between our team and external partner teams in vision, hardware, and operations.
Key job responsibilities
- Research, propose, architect, and deliver complex features such as unified contact-control frameworks, robot-arm integration roadmaps, functional-safety envelopes, and motion recovery architectures.
- Bring recent scientific advances in force control, compliant manipulation, and sim-to-real transfer into production.
- Lead significant architectural and strategic initiatives together with more junior teammates.
- Work across cross-disciplinary teams (hardware, safety, operations, vendor engineering) to deliver novel, synergistic features and capabilities.
- Stay current with recent advances in robotics control, manipulation, and industrial automation.
- Own the technical bar on real-time control design decisions and serve as the senior technical interface to external robot-arm engineering teams.
A day in the life

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
Motion is one of several teams inside Amazon Robotics Vulcan. We ship weekly to live fulfillment centers, operate a fast iteration loop with real production data, and work across the full motion stack, from real-time controllers on hardware up through mission-level motion planning. We are looking for a senior Applied Scientist to help drive the next generation of robot behaviors alongside a strong existing team.

If you want to go deep on controls problems, stay hands-on with hardware, and contribute to architectural direction, this role is for you.
