Senior Applied Scientist

Amazon Industrial Robotics is on a mission to redefine the future of automation — and we're looking for exceptional talent to help lead the way. We are building the next generation of advanced robotic systems that seamlessly blend cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems, and novel mechanical design to create adaptable, intelligent automation solutions capable of operating safely alongside humans in dynamic, real-world environments. As a Sr. Applied Scientist in Robot Perception, you will be at the forefront of this transformation. You will develop and deploy state-of-the-art perception algorithms that enable robots to truly understand and interact with the physical world — bridging the gap between theoretical research and real-world impact.

Design, develop, and deploy perception algorithms for robotics systems, including object detection, segmentation, tracking, depth estimation, and scene understanding

• Lead research initiatives in computer vision, sensor fusion and 3D perception

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including robotics engineers, software engineers, and product managers to define and deliver perception capabilities

• Drive end-to-end ownership of ML models — from data collection and labeling strategy to training, evaluation, and deployment

• Mentor junior scientists and engineers; contribute to a culture of technical excellence

• Define and track key metrics to measure perception system performance in real-world environments

• Publish research findings in top-tier venues (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICRA, NeurIPS, etc.) and contribute to patents
