Responsibilities
The Applied Scientist will deploy and evaluate learned manipulation policies on physical robots to improve robustness and reliability in complex environments. They will also diagnose gaps between simulation and real-world behavior while developing contact-aware methods for production-quality robotic systems.
Requirements
Candidates must hold a PhD or a Master's degree with 4+ years of relevant experience in science, technology, or engineering. Proficiency in programming languages like Python, C++, or Java and hands-on experience with learning-based control on physical robots are required.
Full job description
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.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in professional software development - Experience with contact-rich control or manipulation policies, tactile sensing, or compliant control on physical systems - Experience deploying and supporting complex robotic systems at scale - Publications in top robotics or machine learning venues (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, NeurIPS, ICML, etc.)
