Job Description
Description
We are seeking a Principle Applied Scientist to join Compass. In this role, you will own the perception input into the Compass safety system, defining how robots perceive, interpret, and anticipate their surroundings in safety-critical contexts. You will develop novel approaches to environment understanding that go beyond static scene representation, providing real-time, predictive models of how humans, objects, and dynamic obstacles may evolve over short time horizons. Your work will directly unlock robot performance by replacing conservative assumptions with precise, learned understandings of risk. You will set the scientific direction for perception within Compass, collaborate closely with controls, planning, and firmware teams, and influence the broader Amazon Robotics safety architecture.
