Build the future of robotics safety at Amazon and design next-gen embedded systems in C/C++ while supporting a global fleet that keeps thousands of fulfillment centers running safely at massive scale.
Bridge industrial controls and embedded software engineering, working hands-on with PLCs and modern ARM-based platforms in a role where your code directly protects people and powers innovation.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
You"ll split time between supporting a global safety-critical fleet and building its next-gen replacement. One morning you"re troubleshooting a PLC issue at a fulfillment center; that afternoon you"re writing C/C++ for the new ARM-based platform. You"ll jump into design reviews, debate architecture tradeoffs, and test features against live systems. Some weeks take you onsite to validate code in the real world. Your work directly protects people and ships at massive scale - no two days look the same.
About the team
The Floor Safety System team is a small but growing team within Amazon Robotics" Firmware organization. We own the safety layer protecting fulfillment center associates working alongside robots. We"re migrating from legacy PLCs to a modern C/C++ platform on ARM-based hardware, so you"ll support a worldwide production fleet while building its next-gen replacement.
You"ll collaborate daily with firmware, hardware, and software engineers, plus operations teams and vendors. Travel (5-10%) puts you onsite where your work matters most. This is a key safety-critical system that protects people at massive scale.
