RIVR, 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.
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.
In environments without existing maps, the robot must dynamically create a map while simultaneously localizing itself within it.
As our next SLAM Engineer on a growing team, you will be an expert in laser- and camera-based localization techniques and SLAM and enhance these capabilities.
You will shape our robots’ ability to navigate with pinpoint precision, and you will be part of a team focused on enabling our robots to navigate autonomously.
If you are passionate.
Design, validate, and improve algorithms on challenging real-world data.
Contribute to the dynamic mapping of the environment using data continuously gathered from ongoing robot deployments.
Assist in the creation of robust sensor calibration systems that perform reliably in comp.
