Join a team building the simulation platform that powers robotics development at Amazon. You will work at the intersection of physics simulation, 3D asset pipelines, and platform engineering, building infrastructure that lets robotics teams design, train, and validate robots in virtual environments before physical prototypes exist. Your work will help unlock automation solutions, including systems requiring large-scale training iterations, that traditional hardware-first development cannot achieve.
Key job responsibilities:
– Design and implement simulation features (physics models, joint types, sensor models) that generalize across multiple robotics programs
– Build and maintain automated pipelines for converting 3D models and CAD assets into simulation-ready formats using USD and related standards
– Develop integrations between simulation environments and ML training infrastructure
– Collaborate with robotics engineers, ML researchers, and hardware teams to define simulation requirements
– Contribute to open-source robotics simulation tools and standards
– Profile and optimize simulation performance for large-scale parallel training workloads
Basic Qualifications:
– BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
– 3+ years of programming using a modern programming language such as Java, C++, or C#, including object-oriented design experience
– 2+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications
Preferred Qualifications:
– 1+ years of Unity, Unreal, CryEngine, or industry-equivalent 3D engine or simulation technology experience
– Experience in robotics design, automation systems development, or control systems design
– Experience with simulation and 3D modeling software
– Familiarity with USD, URDF, SDF, or other scene and robot description formats
– Master’s degree in a related technical field
– Contributions to open-source robotics or simulation projects
Base salary: $129,300–$223,600 USD annually.
