Job description

In this role, you'll combine hands‑on technical work with leadership, ensuring your team delivers the best environment to develop robust physical AI solutions for dynamic real‑world environments. You'll leverage Amazon's vast computational resources to tackle ambitious problems in areas like very large multi‑modal robotic foundation models and efficient, promptable model architectures that can scale across diverse robotic applications.

Key Responsibilities

  • You will lead the ML infrastructure team to create model training and simulation environment for developing large robotics foundational models for reasoning, perception, locomotion, and manipulation.
  • Work together with AI researchers to implement and optimize training of new model architectures at a large scale.
  • Define roadmap and build physics realistic simulation environment for reinforcement learning, closed‑loop simulations and synthetic data generation.
  • Implement tooling for data creation, model experimentation, and continuous integration.

About the Team

At Frontier AI & Robotics, we're not just advancing robotics – we're reimagining it from the ground up. Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through frontier foundation models and end‑to‑end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics, from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex, real‑world scenarios. We leverage Amazon's massive computational infrastructure and rich real‑world datasets to train and deploy state‑of‑the‑art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence – from multimodal perception using images, videos, and sensor data, to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real‑world scenarios. We're building systems that don't just work in the lab, but scale to meet the demands of Amazon's global operations.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of engineering experience.
  • 5+ years of engineering team management experience.
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent programs, projects and development teams in an Agile environment.
  • Proficiency in Python and C++, experience in building large‑scale training infrastructure using PyTorch.
  • Experience with Isaac Sim, Unity, Unreal or proprietary 3D game engine, or industry‑equivalent technology (3D animation, simulation, etc).
  • 10+ years of planning, designing, developing and delivering infrastructure software.
  • Experience partnering with product or program management science teams working in research environments.
  • Experience designing and developing large scale, high‑traffic applications.
  • Experience with physical robots, reinforcement learning, synthetic data generation. Experience optimizing physics simulation for articulated robots and rigid body interactions.
  • Deep understanding of different model architecture like VLM, Imitation learning, VLA.
  • Experience implementing techniques from research papers.
  • Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.
