Embedded Systems Engineer (Senior)

Amazon RIVR is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale. Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, Amazon RIVR is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery Job Description   We are looking for a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the design and delivery of firmware that powers our robotic platforms. You will own the architecture and implementation of our low-level embedded systems, while guiding junior engineers and raising the technical quality of the team through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on leadership.  You will also set priorities, drive the embedded roadmap, and ensure reliable execution across multiple programs. Directly shape robot performance, safety, and scalability in real-world environments.
