Robotics Wireless & Network Engineer Intern, RIVR

Job description

Embark on an exciting journey at Amazon as a Specialised Software Development Engineer! Join our cutting-edge teams working on innovative technologies that impact millions of customers worldwide.

Shape the future of autonomous systems at Amazon! Work on groundbreaking projects that combine advanced perception, machine learning, and simulation to create the next generation of autonomous technologies.

Collaborate with world-class engineers and scientists to build and deploy state-of-the-art systems that push the boundaries of what's possible in robotics and computer vision. Your work will directly impact millions of customers and transform industries on a global scale

Key job responsibilities

Network engineering

Configure and improve the robot's internal network (VLAN, NTP/PTP time sync, DHCP/DNS).

Real-time traffic

Make sure ROS2/DDS, WebRTC and MQTT flows behave correctly on the network.

Wireless and RF performance

Characterize how the cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite links behave in the real world (coverage, throughput, latency under load, antenna placement and A/B system comparisons).

Troubleshooting and documentation

Take the first pass on connectivity issues, work through them with packet captures and logs, and keep network diagrams, configuration baselines and technical docs up to date.

About the team

RIVR, part of Amazon is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR, part of Amazon developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale.

At RIVR, we build autonomous delivery robots that operate in the field, and the network is what makes remote supervision and data exchange possible, from the switched network inside the robot, through 4G/5G, Wi-Fi and satellite links, to the cloud stack. As a Robotics Wireless & Network Engineer Intern, you'll sit between the hardware and software teams as a hands-on engineer across that entire path, configuring and segmenting networks, characterizing wireless links, building the monitoring that keeps the fleet visible, and getting to the bottom of connectivity issues
