In this role, you will focus on creating and optimizing intelligent motor control strategies to enable robots to perform complex, whole-body tasks. Your contributions will be essential in advancing robotics by enabling fluid, reliable, and safe interactions between robots and their environments. ### Key job responsibilities - Develop controllers that leverage reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or other advanced AI techniques to achieve natural, robust, and adaptive motor behaviors - Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to integrate motor control systems with robotic hardware, ensuring alignment with real-world constraints such as actuator dynamics and energy efficiency - Use simulation and real-world testing to refine and validate control algorithms - Stay updated on advancements in robotics, AI, and control systems to apply advanced techniques to robotic motion challenges - Lead technical projects from conception through production deployment - Mentor junior scientists and engineers - Bridge research initiatives with practical engineering implementation ### 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. ### Our work spans the full stack mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We’re building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful. At Fauna, you’ll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It’s an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build. If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you. an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 6, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 12 days - Location: US, NY, New York[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10571297/robotics-ai-motor-control-scientist-fauna) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Applied Scientist, Sponsored Products](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/da0e61acafa3fce874f9/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist - Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing, Amazon Braket](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/7ab4650e20a711f335c4/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist II, Advertising Incrementality Measurement](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/3c55fba0b172480a33da/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, AI & AGI Security](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/189d77980181b3220cee/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, Demand Technology, Amazon Demand Side Platform, Bravo Non-endemic](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d976c9d622eab4f5a715/) US, NY, New York ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Product Manager - Motor Control & Protection](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/eaton/jobs/ecf5973cf416a07f19b2/) Eaton · Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, USA, Beachwood, Ohio, Irvine, California, Moon Township, Pennsylvania, Raleigh, North Carolina ### [Research Scientist for Directed Energy Beam Control](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/488a365001a788865ba6/) Lockheed Martin · Sunnyvale, CA ### [Product Marketing Manager, Motor Control MCU](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/on-semiconductor/jobs/d9424a7d85b0f50ac508/) ON Semiconductor · Allen, TX, United States ### [Motor Vehicle Mech](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/9263b7eb7654dd3e723a/) Lockheed Martin · Fayetteville, NC ### [Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer- Motor Control and Servo Design](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/l3harris-technologies/jobs/a2122e8aea54e80fbb18/) L3Harris Technologies · Salt Lake City, UT [Jobs in New York, NY](/locations/us/ny/new-york/)[Jobs in New York](/locations/us-ny/)[Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
