In this role, you'll research and develop advanced navigation systems that enable robots to move reliably and safely through complex, dynamic environments. You'll work across a broad spectrum of navigation approaches—from classical methods to learning-based techniques and foundation models—to build robust solutions for autonomous robot navigation. ### Key job responsibilities - Develop and implement robust navigation systems that enable reliable autonomous operation in complex, dynamic indoor environments with static and dynamic obstacles - Build simulation-based and on-device evaluation frameworks with comprehensive benchmarks and metrics for systematic comparison of navigation methods - Conduct sim-to-real transfer experiments, analyzing performance gaps and developing techniques to ensure reliable real-world navigation performance - Collaborate with world model, manipulation, and other teams to ensure seamless integration of navigation capabilities into the full robot system - Stay current with the latest advances in robot navigation, spatial reasoning, and related fields, and apply relevant findings to improve system performance - Mentor fellow scientists and engineers while maintaining strong individual technical contributions ### About the team Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe, and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. ### Our goal is simple make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces. We believe that future won’t arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We’re changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 2, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 11, 2026 - Listed for: 9 days - Location: US, CA, Sunnyvale[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10567759/applied-scientist-fauna) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Applied Scientist II, Foundation Model](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/257e51fe80d43fba0429/) US, CA, Sunnyvale ### [Applied Scientist II, Prime Video Personalization and Discovery Science, Prime Video - Personalization and Discovery Science](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/a89485600c7bef82a898/) US, CA, Sunnyvale ### [Applied Scientist II, Simulation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/92c13022b7665a464ece/) US, CA, Sunnyvale ### [Applied Scientist III, AGI Responsible AI (RAI)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/6bc73f7fbfc923e8ab2f/) US, CA, Sunnyvale ### [Applied Scientist, AGI](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/16bc584fbfd7751c9d9e/) US, CA, Sunnyvale ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/oracle/jobs/f8ed9ff14b05042cc65f/) Oracle · United States ### [Applied Scientist II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/1932503c468419f688ab/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Principal Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/6887d8f40d7a9e34526e/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Principal, Data Scientist - Applied Machine Learning](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/walmart/jobs/8af78490b17976e76747/) Walmart · United States ### [Senior AI/ML Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/unitedhealth-group/jobs/78af7d0e20840c30720f/) UnitedHealth Group · Eden Prairie, Minnesota [Jobs in Sunnyvale, CA](/locations/us/ca/sunnyvale/)[Jobs in California](/locations/us-ca/)[Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
