Amazon is seeking exceptional software engineering talent to develop the on-robot software components that connect intelligent robots to fleet-scale cloud systems, enabling telemetry collection, model deployment, over-the-air updates, and fleet coordination at unprecedented scale. We're building revolutionary software infrastructure that combines AI, large-scale distributed systems, and advanced robotics orchestration to create adaptable automation solutions capable of coordinating heterogeneous robot fleets safely alongside humans in dynamic industrial environments.
As a Software Development Engineer, you will own on-robot software components that bridge the gap between autonomous robot intelligence and cloud-based fleet management. You will work at the intersection of embedded systems and cloud-connected distributed architectures, ensuring that on-robot software operates reliably under real-time constraints, bandwidth limitations, and the safety requirements of industrial environments where robots work alongside humans. Your work will enable robots to receive fleet coordination commands, publish operational telemetry, receive over-the-air software and model updates, and participate as intelligent members of a coordinated fleet.
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in software development with a strong understanding of how systems integrate with cloud infrastructure and large-scale distributed operations. You are hands-on, writing production-quality code and building resilient software that operates in resource-constrained environments. You can reason about latency requirements, failure modes, data flow direction, and graceful degradation. If you're passionate about building the software that makes robots smarter, more connected, and more capable as part of a coordinated fleet, this role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on the future of automation.
Key job responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain on-robot software components that enable reliable connectivity between robots and cloud systems, supporting capabilities such as telemetry, remote updates, fleet coordination, and continuous learning.
- Build software that operates reliably under real-time constraints, handling bandwidth-constrained environments, intermittent connectivity, and the sensor data volumes generated by modern industrial robots.
- Collaborate with on-robot teams through joint architecture sessions to define and maintain clean software interfaces, with boundaries shaped by latency requirements, scope of optimization, data flow direction, failure modes, and development velocity.
- Develop and maintain automated test frameworks for on-robot software components, including hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulated fleet scenarios, and integration tests that validate the on-robot to cloud communication path end to end.
- Collaborate with applied science and data infrastructure teams to ensure on-robot telemetry and model deployment components meet the requirements of continuous learning pipelines and fleet intelligence systems.
- Collaborate with fleet management and platform teams to ensure on-robot components integrate cleanly with fleet management software, platform services, deployment infrastructure, and monitoring and alerting systems.
- Contribute to the design of robot communication APIs and platform architecture, ensuring they support scalability and multi-tenant requirements for both internal operations and future external customers.
- Leverage AI-native development practices and AI coding assistants to accelerate development while maintaining the quality and reliability standards required for software systems in industrial environments.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
- 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
- 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Software Engineer
Confirm your role meets specialty occupation
H-1B1 visa requires a theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge. Use O*NET to verify your software engineering job zone and confirm your bachelor's degree field directly supports the offered role before applying.
Request LCA certification before your interview
Your employer must file and receive a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before your consulate appointment. Delays here are the most common reason Chilean applicants miss their interview window, so confirm certification timing upfront.
Target employers enrolled in E-Verify
Employers who already use E-Verify understand federal employment authorization requirements and are more familiar with nonimmigrant work authorization workflows. This signals operational readiness for H-1B1 visa sponsorship rather than a first-time learning curve.
Use Migrate Mate to find H-1B1-filing employers
Search for software engineering roles on Migrate Mate, which filters employers by H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history. This narrows your list to companies that have actively sponsored Chilean professionals rather than those who may sponsor in theory.
Verify your prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Run your target job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search to identify the DOL wage level your employer must certify. Level I and Level II distinctions affect what salary the LCA can support and what you can negotiate.
Prepare a credential evaluation for non-four-year degrees
Consular officers may question Chilean licenciatura degrees that differ structurally from U.S. bachelor's degrees. A credential evaluation from a NACES-member evaluator documenting U.S. equivalency strengthens your specialty occupation documentation at the visa interview.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a software engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes. Software engineering consistently qualifies as a specialty occupation because the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Your employer confirms this in the Labor Condition Application and supporting documentation. If your job title is broad, the position description must establish that the work requires that specific degree field.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from the H-1B for software engineers?
The H-1B1 Chile visa has no lottery, a 1,400-visa annual cap that has never been exhausted, and is processed at the U.S. consulate in Chile rather than through USCIS. H-1B requires employer petition approval through USCIS before consular processing and enters a lottery when oversubscribed. For Chilean software engineers with a job offer, the H-1B1 path is significantly faster and more predictable.
Where can I find software engineer employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Chile visas?
Migrate Mate filters software engineering roles by employers with H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history, so you can target companies that have actively gone through the sponsorship process for Chilean nationals. This is more reliable than reaching out to employers who indicate general visa sponsorship willingness without a track record specific to the H-1B1.
Can my employer sponsor me for H-1B1 without prior immigration experience?
Yes, but the process has specific DOL and consulate requirements your employer must meet, including filing a certified LCA before your visa interview. Employers new to H-1B1 visa sponsorship often underestimate LCA lead times or misclassify the prevailing wage level. Walking your employer through the USCIS H-1B1 guidance early reduces filing errors that delay your start date.
Does the H-1B1 Chile visa allow dual intent for software engineers pursuing a green card?
No. The H-1B1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that does not permit dual intent, meaning you cannot simultaneously maintain an immigrant visa petition without jeopardizing your H-1B1 status. Software engineers planning a long-term green card path typically need to transition to H-1B or another immigrant-intent-compatible status before beginning that process.
