This role provides the opportunity to be a technical lead driving the innovations being developed and deployed in the next generation data centers.AWS is seeking a Robotics Engineer to support building systems that operate in our data centers and collect rich sensor data at scale. We're seeking a Generalist Machine Learning Engineer to own the ML that turns robot-collected data — imagery, LiDAR, thermal streams, etc — into useful, reliable outputs. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of reliable performance in production across a broad range of problems — perception, model fine-tuning, evaluation, and the pipelines that feed and serve them. This role closely collaborates with robotics and software engineers so model outputs are usable downstream, and so field data feeds back into better training data and better models.As Amazon has a global presence, intermittent travel will be necessary and should be expected to be approximately 30% to AWS offices, data centers, suppliers, vendors, and product validation tests. While most travel will be domestic, some international travel may be required.About the teamWhy AWSAmazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.
