Amazon Robotics is revolutionizing warehouse automation at unprecedented scale. We are looking for a technical lead to own the whole-body planning, control, and optimization stack for the Phoenix mobile manipulation robot. In this role, you will design and ship motion planners and controllers that coordinate all of Phoenix's degrees of freedom (mobile base, torso, arm, and end-effector) as a single unified system, enabling smooth, safe, and production-ready autonomous manipulation in Amazon fulfillment environments.You will architect whole-body motion planning pipelines (task-and-motion planning, trajectory optimization) that generate collision-free, time-efficient trajectories across the full kinematic chain. You will develop and tune real-time whole-body controllers, including QP-based and model-predictive approaches, and integrate them with the Foundry Controller mainline. A key part of the role is ensuring planner-generated trajectories are high-quality enough to train downstream foundation model policies (e.g., π0.5) at scale. You will also extend Phoenix's Control Barrier Function (CBF) safety architecture, guaranteeing constraint satisfaction from planning through execution.About the teamAmazon Robotics develops and deploys advanced robotic systems that power Amazon's fulfillment centers worldwide. Our innovations in mobile manipulation, autonomous navigation, and human-robot collaboration are transforming how products move through our network, enabling faster delivery times while creating safer, more ergonomic work environments for our associates.Basic qualifications- PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with 7+ years of relevant research experience after degree; or Master's degree with 12+ years of equivalent experience- Experience developing and deploying real-time controllers on physical robotic hardware- Demonstrated ability to influence technical strategy across multiple teams and organizationsPreferred qualification - Proficiency in Python and C++ with experience writing production-grade code- Proven track record of publications at top-tier venues (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICRA, RSS, CoRL)- Experience with real-time perception on resource-constrained hardware (edge compute, embedded GPUs)- Track record of building perception systems that generalize across multiple sensor configurations or robot platforms- Experience with foundation models or large-scale self-supervised learning applied to robotics perceptionAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
