    Our organization in Amazon Robotics builds robots that perform contact-rich manipulation safely and reliably in complex, unstructured environments, at Amazon scale. Our scientists and engineers push the boundaries of robotic manipulation to handle enormous object diversity, bringing deep expertise across planning, control, perception, and machine learning. We learn from real-world data at a scale that few teams in robotics can access. We are seeking an Applied Scientist to bring learned manipulation policies to life on real robots. We are creating robots that learn how to push, flip, rearrange, and dexterously insert items with unparalleled robustness, speed, and reliability. Our goal is to deploy robots that will work across Amazon's global network and can handle the full diversity of items that Amazon sells. You will focus on making learned, contact-rich, non-prehensile behaviors work reliably on physical hardware, closing the loop between what a policy does in simulation and how it behaves against real contact, sensing, and dynamics. You will join a small team whose mission reaches beyond any single product: to invent and apply manipulation capabilities that generalize to many future robotics applications. The robots our organization already deploys at scale give you a rare proving ground to test new policies and behaviors on real hardware faster than almost anywhere in the field. Key job responsibilities - Deploy and evaluate learned manipulation policies on physical robots, focused on the long tail of diverse, demanding conditions. - Diagnose the gap between simulated and real behavior, and drive the changes in policies, rewards, sensing, or control that close it. - Develop tactile, actuation, and contact-aware methods that make non-prehensile manipulation fast, assured, and robust. - Write production-quality code and own scalable, real-time implementations that run on robots. - Build the data collection, logging, and evaluation loops that turn real-world experience into policy improvements. - Partner with scientists and engineers across control, perception, and hardware to move ideas from prototype to demonstrated capability on hardware. - Represent Amazon Robotics in academia through publications and scientific presentations. A day in the life Amazon offers a full range of benefits that assist you and eligible family members, including domestic partners. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment. The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include: 1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage 2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options 3. Paid Time Off (PTO) 4. 401(k) Plan If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!
