Join our Safety Firmware team at Amazon Robotics and be at the forefront of embedded safety systems development. As a Software Development Engineer II, you'll bridge hardware and software in creating safety-certified solutions for Amazon's warehouse automation systems. Your expertise in C/C++/Rust programming will be essential as you design, implement, test, and maintain embedded software components that ensure people remain safe around our robotic solutions.
In this role, you'll collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines, working with mechanical, electrical, cloud software, fleet management, manufacturing, and field support teams. You'll explore the latest development of EdgeAI on resource-constrained embedded systems while adhering to rigorous safety standards and implementing deterministic behavior that protects people interacting with automated robotic solutions.
Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement embedded software components for safety-critical systems using C/C++/Rust, ensuring high quality, maintainable code that meets rigorous safety standards
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware design, manufacturing, and software teams to integrate products and solutions end-to-end, from initial design through field deployment
- Participate in the full product development lifecycle including scoping, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance of embedded safety systems
- Provide meaningful feedback during code reviews and contribute to improving software quality, customer experience, and maintainability across your team's products
- Explore and implement new possibilities for EdgeAI on resource-constrained embedded systems while maintaining deterministic behavior and reliable performance
A day in the life
Your day begins with a team sync-up through a standup meeting or messaging platform to align on priorities and progress. From there, you might spend time collaborating with cross-functional teams to design a complex system, implement embedded software components, work with hardware teams on integration challenges, or debug tricky problems. You'll review peers' code commits, contribute to continuous integration systems, and document your work to ensure knowledge sharing across teams. Throughout the day, you'll balance technical work with communication to ensure safety requirements are met while delivering high-performance embedded solutions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Embedded Software Engineer
Verify your degree matches the role
Embedded Software Engineer positions require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science. A general IT or non-engineering degree may not satisfy the specialty occupation requirement, so confirm your field of study aligns before applying.
Check prevailing wage using OFLC Wage Search
Your offer must meet DOL prevailing wage for your exact SOC code and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating salary so your employer's LCA certification clears without delays or requests for additional documentation.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to find employers with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filings for engineering roles. Employers already familiar with the process are far less likely to hesitate or decline once you explain your visa status.
Get your Chilean credentials evaluated early
If your engineering degree is from a Chilean university, request a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before interviewing. Consular officers verify degree equivalency, and missing documentation is one of the most common causes of H-1B1 visa application delays.
Confirm the employer's E-Verify enrollment status
H-1B1 visa holders must be verified through E-Verify upon starting work. Raise E-Verify enrollment in final offer discussions, since companies not yet enrolled will need to register with USCIS before your first day, which can delay your start date.
Secure a role with hardware access if possible
Embedded roles involving proprietary hardware, defense systems, or export-controlled technology may require additional clearance steps or trigger Export Administration Regulations review. Clarify scope of work before signing an offer to avoid compliance complications that could stall your consulate appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Embedded Software Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes. Embedded Software Engineer positions require at least a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science, which satisfies the specialty occupation definition. The O*NET occupation profile for this role confirms the degree requirement. Your employer documents the connection between the role and your specific degree field in the LCA filing.
How does H-1B1 Chile compare to H-1B for Embedded Software Engineer roles?
Both visas cover specialty occupation roles like Embedded Software Engineer, but the differences matter. H-1B1 Chile has no lottery, no USCIS petition requirement, and the 1,400 annual cap has never been fully used. You apply directly at a U.S. consulate in Chile. H-1B visa requires a lottery, USCIS petition approval, and filing fees the employer must cover.
How do I find employers who will sponsor an H-1B1 Chile visa for this role?
Use Migrate Mate to search for employers with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history in engineering and software roles. Companies that have filed before understand the consulate-based process and are less likely to misidentify H-1B1 Chile as a standard H-1B sponsorship, which is a common source of confusion during hiring.
What documents does my employer need to provide for my H-1B1 consulate appointment?
Your employer must provide a certified LCA from DOL, a detailed job offer letter specifying your title, duties, work location, and salary, and documentation establishing that the role requires a degree in a specific technical field. You submit these along with your DS-160, passport, and degree credentials at the consular interview.
Can I work on embedded systems projects involving controlled technology on an H-1B1 Chile visa?
Your H-1B1 Chile visa authorizes the work, but projects involving export-controlled technology may require your employer to apply for a deemed export license through the Bureau of Industry and Security. This is an employer-side compliance requirement and does not affect your visa status directly, but it can affect the timeline before you're cleared to start specific projects.
