Senior Software Development Engineer

About this role

## DESCRIPTION

Amazon is seeking exceptional embedded software engineering talent to develop the on-robot software components that connect intelligent robots to fleet-scale cloud systems, enabling telemetry collection, model deployment, over-the-air updates, and fleet coordination at unprecedented scale. We're building revolutionary software infrastructure that combines AI, large-scale distributed systems, and advanced robotics orchestration to create adaptable automation solutions capable of coordinating heterogeneous robot fleets safely alongside humans in dynamic industrial environments.

As a Senior Embedded Software Development Engineer, you will own on-robot software components that bridge the gap between autonomous robot intelligence and cloud-based fleet management. You will work at the intersection of embedded systems and cloud-connected distributed architectures, ensuring that on-robot software operates reliably under real-time constraints, bandwidth limitations, and the safety requirements of industrial environments where robots work alongside humans. Your work will enable robots to receive fleet coordination commands, publish operational telemetry, receive over-the-air software and model updates, and participate as intelligent members of a coordinated fleet.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in embedded software development with a strong understanding of how embedded systems integrate with cloud infrastructure and large-scale distributed operations. You are hands-on, writing production-quality embedded code and building resilient software that operates in resource-constrained environments. You can reason about latency requirements, failure modes, data flow direction, and graceful degradation. If you're passionate about building the embedded software that makes robots smarter, more connected, and more capable as part of a coordinated fleet, this role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on the future of automation.
