Applied Scientist - Simulation and Large-Scale RL, Amazon Robotics - Vulcan Stow

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 unparalleled 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 advance reinforcement learning for manipulation. We are creating robots that learn how to push, flip, rearrange, and dexterously insert items with unparalleled robustness, speed, and reliability.

Job requirements

  • PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of science, technology, engineering or related field experience
  • Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
  • Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
  • Experience training reinforcement learning or imitation learning policies for manipulation or robot control problems
  • Strong background in reinforcement learning, including reward design and training at scale in simulation
  • Experience in professional software development
  • Experience with sim-to-real transfer (domain randomization, system identification, etc.), including transferring learned policies onto physical robots.
  • Familiarity with learned dynamics or world models for manipulation
