Robotics Embedded Software Leader
Join the brightest minds in robotics developing the next generation of manipulation robots! This fast-moving team is creating a game changing new product for accelerating robotics. It has a strong ownership culture and the urgency of a team that knows it's building something that hasn't been done before. You'll own the embedded software organization for a product that is a critical priority for Amazon Robotics and you'll be expected to move fast, make selections with incomplete information, and raise the bar continuously.
