If you’re passionate about driving innovation in robotics and creating meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply and bring your unique self to our team. /p pWe believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr ph3Company Overview /h3 pRIVR, part of Amazon 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. /p pFollowing 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, RIVR, part of Amazon is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery. /p h3Job Opportunity /h3 pWe are looking for a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the design and delivery of firmware that powers our robotic platforms.
