Robotics Engineer Jobs in Virginia

DESCRIPTION

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensures our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Within AIS and Data Center Engineering, the Robotics Products and Services team is growing in maturity, so now is the time to join and drive game changing and rapid innovation used by AWS globally. Our designs will fundamentally change the data center, providing operational and financial benefits that are critical to the success of the AWS business and its millions of customers. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems and take big bets on new concepts, enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the industry. This role provides the opportunity to be a robotics engineer and the technical lead driving the innovations being developed and deployed in the next generation data centers.

AWS is seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer to support the design, deployment, and management of advanced robotic systems at scale enabling AWS to scale our data center builds efficiently. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of developing robust robotic solutions, deploying them across multiple customer locations, and overseeing operational teams and tools to ensure reliability, efficiency, and scalability. This role involves close collaboration with external partners, contractors, and enterprise customers to bring robotics into production.

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.
