Software Development Engineer II Robotics , SWAT - Amazon.com

DESCRIPTION

• Design and implement control and coordination software for hardware test fixtures and workcells
• Develop automation scripts and frameworks that interface directly with robotic hardware (sensors, actuators, motor controllers, PLCs)
• Build reliable data collection pipelines for test measurements and hardware telemetry
• Contribute to our Automation Platform (AP) — extending and improving joint tooling used across multiple product programs
• Partner closely with Hardware Test Engineers and Hardware Development Engineers to comprehend test requirements and translate them into automated solutions
• Participate in the full development lifecycle — design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational facilitation of test infrastructure
• Develop and maintain software that directly controls test fixtures and uut hardware — writing sequences that coordinate sensors, actuators, and measurement devices to validate robotic systems.
• Partner with Hardware Test Engineers to translate test procedures into reliable, repeatable automation — working hands-on with physical hardware to debug, calibrate, and refine solutions.
• Contribute to the evolution of our joint Automation Platform (AP), improving tooling and libraries that the broader test engineering organization relys on. This work will have measurable impact on test coverage, throughput, and reliability.
