Join our Safety Firmware team at Amazon Robotics and be at the forefront of embedded safety systems development. As a Software Development Engineer II, youll bridge hardware and software in creating safety-certified solutions for Amazons warehouse automation systems. Your expertise in C/C++/Rust programming will be essential as you design, implement, test, and maintain embedded software components that ensure people remain safe around our robotic solutions.

In this role, youll collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines, working with mechanical, electrical, cloud software, fleet management, manufacturing, and field support teams. Youll explore the latest development of EdgeAI on resource-constrained embedded systems while adhering to rigorous safety standards and implementing deterministic behavior that protects people interacting with automated robotic solutions.

Key job responsibilities:

  • Design and implement embedded software components for safety-critical systems using C/C++/Rust, ensuring high quality, maintainable code that meets rigorous safety standards
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware design, manufacturing, and software teams to integrate products and solutions end-to-end, from initial design through field deployment
  • Participate in the full product development lifecycle including scoping, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance of embedded safety systems
  • Provide meaningful feedback during code reviews and contribute to improving software quality, customer experience, and maintainability across your teams products
  • Explore and implement new possibilities for EdgeAI on resource-constrained embedded systems while maintaining deterministic behavior and reliable performance

A day in the life Your day begins with a team sync-up through a standup meeting or messaging platform to align on priorities and progress. From there, you might spend time collaborating with cross-functional teams to design a complex system, implement embedded software components, work with hardware teams on integration challenges, or debug tricky problems. Youll review peers code commits, contribute to continuous integration systems, and document your work to ensure knowledge sharing across teams. Throughout the day, youll balance technical work with communication to ensure safety requirements are met while delivering high-performance embedded solution.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
