Robotics Wireless & Network Engineer

ppAmazon 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. /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, Amazon RIVR is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last‑mile delivery. /p h3What You’ll Be Doing /h3 ul liNetwork Architecture Design: Define and implement robust, scalable, and secure network architectures integrating 4G/LTE, 5G (URLRC), Wi‑Fi, and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) /li liWireless Optimization: Evaluate and tune wireless performance (RF, antenna placement, signal reliability) to ensure ultra‑low latency and high‑bandwidth communication /li liMiddleware Integration: Develop and maintain real‑time data flow between the robot and the supervision stack using ROS2/DDS, WebRTC, and gRPC /li liSystem Reliability Monitoring: Implement tools to monitor fleet connectivity, system health, and communication degradation across the network stack /li liSecurity Implementation: Design and apply authentication, encryption, and secure message‑passing mechanisms to protect robot‑to‑cloud data streams /li liCross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Autonomy, Cloud, and Operations teams to ensure seamless end‑to‑end integration across hardware, software, and supervision systems /li /ul h3What You Must Have /h3 ul liBachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Communications Engineering /li li5+ years of experience in network engineering or robotics connectivity, ideally in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or drones /li liSolid knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, WebRTC, gRPC, MQTT) /li liHands‑on experience with RF engineering, antenna design, and link budget analysis for mobile systems /li liStrong proficiency with ROS2/DDS and middleware integration for real‑time systems /li liProven ability to design and test secure, high‑reliability network systems /li liExperience working with Linux‑based systems /li /ul h3Get some bonus points /h3 ul liArchitectures: Familiarity with cloud‑to‑edge architectures and MEC (Multi‑access Edge Computing) deployment /li liScripting: Scripting in Python or Go for testing and automation /li liDomain Experience: Prior experience in robotics, teleoperation, or remote supervision systems /li /ul pAmazon RIVR is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that values every perspective.
