Applied Scientist: Safe Control for Real-World Robotics

Amazon Science in Pasadena, CA seeks an Applied Scientist to develop core Control Barrier Function (CBF) algorithms for the Compass safety system, ensuring reliable operation on real robots despite sensor noise and model uncertainty. You will bridge theory and hardware, crafting robust invariant sets and hybrid formulations across robotic platforms. You will implement real-time solvers, support third-party safety certification, and collaborate with perception, planning, locomotion, and
