About The Position

Join our Safety Firmware team at Amazon Robotics and be at the forefront of embedded safety systems development. As a Software Development Engineer II, you'll bridge hardware and software in creating safety-certified solutions for Amazon's warehouse automation systems. Your expertise in C/C++/Rust programming will be essential as you design, implement, test, and maintain embedded software components that ensure people remain safe around our robotic solutions. In this role, you'll collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines, working with mechanical, electrical, cloud software, fleet management, manufacturing, and field support teams. You'll explore the latest development of EdgeAI on resource-constrained embedded systems while adhering to rigorous safety standards and implementing deterministic behavior that protects people interacting with automated robotic solutions. A day in the life Your day begins with a team sync-up through a standup meeting or messaging platform to align on priorities and progress. From there, you might spend time collaborating with cross-functional teams to design a complex system, implement embedded software components, work with hardware teams on integration challenges, or debug tricky problems. You'll review peers' code commits, contribute to continuous integration systems, and document your work to ensure knowledge sharing across teams. Throughout the day, you'll balance technical work with communication to ensure safety requirements are met while delivering high-performance embedded solution
