Senior Robotics Data Engineer, Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR)

San Francisco, California, USASenior5+ yrsData Engineerposted 9 d ago

Are you interested in solving the most critical operations problem behind cutting-edge robotics development? Interested in fast dynamic environment? Amazon's Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR) team is building advanced robotic systems through frontier foundation models, and high-quality data collection is a core input to that research.

Skills, with evidence

  • Data quality
    Partner with researchers to translate research objectives into reliable collection workflows, improve data quality, and shorten policy training iteration cycles.must have
  • Machine learning
    Experience supporting ML/AI data collection, annotation, quality assurance, or model evaluation workflows.must have · not practised here
  • Data modelling
    Maintain version control and ensure collectors adopt changes consistently.must have
