Careers

Work with the inventor of control barrier functions in the Safe Autonomy Frontiers (SAF) Lab. The first industry research lab in safe autonomy, developing a universal safety layer for the next generation of robotic systems: mobile robots, manipulators, mobile manipulators, and future platforms with dynamic stability. You will push the frontiers of performant safety for highly dynamic robots: CBF theory integrated with perception and learning, evaluated on next-generation robots. Your work will underpin robots operating alongside people at Amazon's unprecedented scale We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to join the SAF Lab. In this role, you will perform research around safe autonomy on highly dynamic robots, with a special focus on loco-manipulation and dynamically stable robots. This includes, but is not limited to, underlying theory of control barrier functions (CBFs) that enables robust and performant safety on hardware, safe reinforcement learning for agile and robust whole-body control, layered safety filters that interface with learning modules, and the synthesis of CBFs from perception data and semantic information. You will push the boundaries of safe autonomy and validate your discoveries experimentally on the next generation of robotic platforms. The SAF lab provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with the inventor of CBFs, top scientists and engineers at Amazon developing the next generation of safe autonomy, while also establishing strong connections with top academic research labs. Your research in the SAF lab will lay the foundations of safe learning on complex robots – removing bottlenecks to deployment and enable them to safely operate around humans. Key job responsibilities In this role you will: • Push forward the fundamental science of safe autonomy. This can be from a variety of perspectives: theoretic contributions, integration with learning, or synthesis from perception. Especially valuable are methods that bridge these different domains. • Develop the simulation and evaluation pipelines needed to run complex and large-scale validation of methods developed in high fidelity simulation environments. • Develop sim-to-real transfer pipelines that enable the deployment of simulation-based methods (controllers, policies) on hardware. • Deploy the methods developed on hardware, with a focus on dynamically stable robots. Validate the underlying science developed in practice and identify gaps between the science and practice to drive innovation in research. • Publish research at top-tier robotics, control and ML venues and contribute to Amazon's scientific reputation in advanced robotics • Collaborate with product teams and science leaders to set a science roadmap (with eventual impact on real robots).
