About this role

Principal Software Engineer, Amazon Industrial Robotics- Simulation Seattle, Washington, USA Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking an exceptional Principal Software Engineer to own and architect our entire simulation and automation capability for next-generation advanced robotics systems. You will establish Amazon's simulation and automation competency from the ground up at unprecedented scale, serving as the technical authority and strategic owner for simulation frameworks, automation pipelines, and related software systems across our product line. You will build deep partnerships with internal robotics teams, architect our simulation infrastructure, and influence product design from concept through production deployment. This role requires mastery of simulation engineering-from building high-fidelity physics-based models to scaling automated testing and validation at volume-combined with a career establishing software platforms, managing complex technical programs, and leading cross-functional initiatives. You will partner with engineering leaders across the robotics organization, shape our product architecture for testability and automation, and define our simulation roadmap. Key job responsibilities End-to-End Architectural Vision for Autonomous Validation: Provide the architectural vision for a digital twin-based, AI-driven autonomous validation framework using simulation as the baseline. Influence cross-org deliverables to meet the architectural vision and disambiguate technical needs from a validation perspective. Digital Twin Enablement: Enable software hooks to realize digital twin capabilities and enable launchable instances of these digital twins with comprehensive metrics and observability. Adversary Testing & Platform Integration: Interface with the platform team to enable adversary testing of the simulation platform, ensuring robustness and resilience under edge-case and failure-mode scenarios. Virtualized Dynamic Environments for Field Testability: Provide virtualized
