As a Member of Technical Staff, you'll be at the forefront of developing breakthrough foundation models that enable robots to perceive, understand, and interact with the world in unprecedented ways. You'll drive independent research initiatives in areas such as perception, manipulation, science understanding, locomotion, manipulation, sim2real transfer, multi-modal foundation models and multi-task robot learning, designing novel frameworks that bridge the gap between state-of-the-art research and real-world deployment at Amazon scale. In this role, you'll balance innovative technical exploration with practical implementation, collaborating with platform teams to ensure your models and algorithms perform robustly in dynamic real-world environments. You'll have access to Amazon's vast computational resources, enabling you to tackle ambitious problems in areas like very large multi-modal robotic foundation models and efficient, promptable model architectures that can scale across diverse robotic applications. ### Key job responsibilities - Drive independent research initiatives across the robotics stack, including robotics foundation models, focusing on breakthrough approaches in perception, and manipulation, for example open-vocabulary panoptic scene understanding, scaling up multi-modal LLMs, sim2real/real2sim techniques, end-to-end vision-language-action models, efficient model inference, video tokenization - Design and implement novel deep learning architectures that push the boundaries of what robots can understand and accomplish - Lead full-stack robotics projects from conceptualization through deployment, taking a system-level approach that integrates hardware considerations with algorithmic development, ensuring robust performance in production environments - Collaborate with platform and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration across the entire robotics stack, optimizing and scaling models for real-world applications - Contribute to the team's technical strategy and help shape our approach to next-generation robotics challenges ### A day in the life - Design and implement novel foundation model architectures and innovative systems and algorithms, leveraging our extensive infrastructure to prototype and evaluate at scale - Collaborate with our world-class research team to solve complex technical challenges - Lead technical initiatives from conception to deployment, working closely with robotics engineers to integrate your solutions into production systems - Participate in technical discussions and brainstorming sessions with team leaders and fellow scientists - Leverage our massive compute cluster and extensive robotics infrastructure to rapidly prototype and validate new ideas - Transform theoretical insights into practical solutions that can handle the complexities of real-world robotics applications ### About the team At Frontier AI & Robotics, we're not just advancing robotics – we're reimagining it from the ground up. Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through innovative foundation models and end-to-end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics, from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex, real-world scenarios. What sets us apart is our unique combination of ambitious research vision and practical impact. We leverage Amazon's massive computational infrastructure and rich real-world datasets to train and deploy state-of-the-art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence – from multimodal perception using images, videos, and sensor data, to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real-world scenarios. We're building systems that don't just work in the lab, but scale to meet the demands of Amazon's global operations. Join us if you're excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics, working with world-class researchers, and seeing your innovations deployed at unprecedented scale. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: May 28, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Jul 10, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 143 days - Location: US, CA, San Francisco[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10433379/member-of-technical-staff-science-frontier-ai-robotics-far) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Customer Solutions Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/c9f6bee994e868d325ce/) US, CA, San Francisco ### [Customer Solutions Manager, ISV](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/57db18ad697efd12ed62/) US, CA, San Francisco ### [Customer Solutions Manager, Media & Entertainment, TMEGS](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/236e914fc027c8c5e13b/) US, CA, San Francisco ### [Member of Technical Staff, Frontier AI & Robotics](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d02fd77ef0ca3768aeeb/) US, CA, San Francisco ### [Member of Technical Staff - Hardware Science, Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/818c07f1bc193c0f509c/) US, CA, San Francisco ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Member of Technical Staff](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ebay/jobs/db1e15a52a79cbfc3870/) eBay · San Jose, California ### [Member of Technical Staff, Microsoft Robotics (Software Systems)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/844ba3de52d8ce588d33/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Senior Member of Technical Staff / Member of Technical Staff, DRAM Design Engineer, Next-generation HBM Architecture](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/micron-technology/jobs/9f865289f530c62acb99/) Micron Technology · Richardson, TX ### [Staff Engineer Technical Marketing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/infineon-technologies/jobs/22464bdc4634579b7d87/) Infineon Technologies · El Segundo, CA ### [Member of Technical Staff, Silicon Photonics Integration](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/coherent/jobs/2ff2584d0f60a7b1fa2f/) Coherent · United States [Jobs in San Francisco, CA](/locations/us/ca/san-francisco/)[Jobs in California](/locations/us-ca/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
