Applied Scientist, Personal Robotics Group

Job Summary
:

Amazons Personal Robotics Group is pioneering intelligent robotic products that deliver meaningful customer experiences. As an Applied Scientist, youll design and implement state-of-the-art algorithms for 3D/4D scene understanding and develop models that integrate various sensing modalities to enhance robotic capabilities.

Responsibilities
:

• Develop multi-modal perception systems that fuse sensiing modalities in cluding but not limited to RGB-D, LiDAR, and other sensing modalities to create robust spatial-semantic world models.

• Design and implement advanced 3D/4D scene understanding systems using neural implicit representations, occupancy networks, and dynamic scene graphs

• Design experiments to identify the limitations of current state-of-the-art models and developing new models or techniques that can surpass these models

• Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize and scale models for real-world applications. Influence technical decisions and implementation strategies within your area of focus

• The ability to work with minimal guidance, be proactive and to handle ambiguity and the challenge of quickly evolving goals

• Communicate complex technical work to a non-technical audience

• Design Expert architectures and Train ML models for deployment in simulation and real-world robots, identify and document their limitations post-deployment
