About this role

Senior Applied Scientist - SLAM and Perception, Amazon Robotics North Reading, Massachusetts, USA Application deadline: Jun 15, 2026 The Amazon Robotics Autonomous Mobility software team develops the autonomy software that powers Proteus, Amazon's first fully autonomous warehouse robot. We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist to join our perception and localization team. You will be part of an exceptional group of engineers building the platform and architecture for our onboard mapping, perception, motion planning and control software. In addition, you will collaborate with engineers and scientists across the team to develop and enhance our real-time multi-robot simulation capabilities. Key job responsibilities Specific areas of focus may include (but are not limited too): - Researching, designing, and implementing scientific approaches for sensor calibration, including cameras and LIDARs. - Researching, designing, and implementing scientific approaches for SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping). - Supporting and improving the large-scale deployment of a SLAM system shared across an autonomous robot fleet. - Evaluating and integrating new sensing modalities into an existing autonomy software stack. - Optimizing runtime performance of autonomy algorithms by exploiting underlying hardware acceleration capabilities. - Building frameworks for large-scale replay and analysis of events in pre-recorded sensor data. - Deliver high quality production level code (C++ or Python) and support systems in production. - Collaborate with other functional teams in a robotics organization. - Collaborate with hardware engineering team members on developing systems from prototyping to production level. - Work with stakeholders across hardware and operations teams to iterate on system
