Job Description

Description
At Amazon Robotics, we design advanced robotic systems capable of intelligent perception, learning, and action alongside humans, at massive scale. Our mission is to deploy robots that increase productivity and efficiency across Amazon fulfillment centers while operating safely and robustly in complex, contact-rich environments.

We are seeking an Applied Scientist to develop manipulation controllers for robotic systems operating in contact-rich, uncertain environments. In this role, you will design force-aware control strategies grounded in impedance/admittance frameworks and augment them with data-driven policy learning to achieve robust, adaptive manipulation behaviors. You will combine physics-based modeling, control-theoretic design, and machine learning to build manipulation capabilities that generalize across objects, tasks, and operational conditions.

You will collaborate closely with experts in perception, machine learning, motion planning, contr...
