Description

Amazon Robotics (AR) is at the forefront of applying state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges at unprecedented scale. Our fulfilment centers handle more individual items than any company in the world, combining computer vision, mobile robots, advanced end-of-arm tooling, high-degree-of-freedom movement, and state-of-the-art AI. We collaborate with teams across Amazon worldwide to conceive, develop, prototype, and deploy intelligent robotic systems that push the boundaries of industrial automation.

Within Amazon Robotics, the Global Operations – Artificial Intelligence (GO-AI) organization enables Amazon to accelerate and scale the next generation of AI-powered robotic solutions. We're transforming how complex visual reasoning tasks are performed across Amazon's robotics operations, moving from traditional manual data annotation processes to state-of-the-art foundation model solutions. GO-AI's Technology & Development team is a cross-functional organization of Software Development Engineers, Technical Program Managers, Program Managers, and Business Intelligence Engineers responsible for GO-AI's technical strategy, platform capabilities, and delivery.

As a Technical Program Manager on GO-AI's Technology & Development team, you will partner with product, science, software engineering, data engineering, operations, and other Amazon Robotics teams to accelerate the evaluation, deployment, and scaling of AI solutions across Amazon Robotics. You will own complex, cross-functional programs spanning solution definition, experimentation, operational readiness, deployment, and continuous improvement. Success in this role requires balancing technical depth with strong program ownership.

This is a rare opportunity to work with a team building AI systems that operate at Amazon scale while solving novel technical challenges in computer vision, natural language processing, and human-AI collaboration. You'll collaborate with world-class scientists, engineers, and operations teams to deploy state-of-the-art research into production systems that deliver real-world impact at global scale.

Key job responsibilities

  • Partner with other Amazon teams to understand AI automation-based use cases, evaluate partnership opportunities, and define GO-AI's technical and operational plans to support them.
  • Build trusted partnerships with business and technical teams, serving as the primary GO-AI partner throughout the program lifecycle.
  • Design and lead human-in-the-loop solutions and AI workflows that bridge science, engineering, and operations.
  • Partner with GO-AI Software, Science, Data, and Business Intelligence Engineering teams to identify capability gaps, prioritize features, and influence long-term platform roadmaps.
  • Define success metrics, monitor program health, and use data to drive decisions, identify risks, and evaluate trade-offs.
  • Drive cross-functional reviews through clear written and verbal communication of program strategy, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations.
  • Drive process simplification by eliminating inefficiencies and building scalable mechanisms.
