Jobs at RiVR

Develop reinforcement learning and deep learning algorithms for dexterous, contact-rich robotic manipulation. Use vision, depth, tactile, and proprioceptive data to generate precise motor commands for grasping, hand-offs, door handles, and latches. Collaborate with foundation model researchers using simulated and real-world data, deploy neural networks on robotic hardware, and write production C++ and Python prototypes. The role requires advanced robotics expertise and in-person collaboration.

Provide hands-on mechanical support for robotic hardware assembly in Shanghai. Responsibilities include clarifying drawings and tolerances, troubleshooting shop-floor issues, conducting root-cause failure analysis, improving designs and processes, coordinating suppliers and contract manufacturers, issuing engineering change notices, supporting test rigs, and integrating peripheral hardware such as sensors, cameras, RC units, and cable harnesses.

As a Test Engineer, you'll design test setups, automate tests with Python, analyze data, and collaborate with engineers on mechanical and electronic components.

Support hardware engineering in designing, prototyping, and testing robotic components. Collaborate with senior engineers and create documentation for hardware specifications.

Support financial integration of newly acquired companies into Amazon's systems, manage month-end close activities, and build financial models for forecasting and planning.

Own Amazon RIVR’s portfolio of cross-functional corporate programs spanning Finance, Legal, People, Workplace, Real Estate, and international operations. Define ambiguous objectives, establish roadmaps, governance, workstreams, milestones, and decision mechanisms. Coordinate Amazon and RIVR stakeholders, drive alignment and resource commitments, anticipate risks, support international expansion, and communicate progress and trade-offs to senior leaders. Build operating models and playbooks that integrate robotics workflows with Amazon’s corporate infrastructure.

Leads the end-to-end testing strategy for robotic hardware, including structural, mechatronic, actuator, and sensing systems. Designs and operates test benches, integrates and calibrates instrumentation, develops Python and LabVIEW automation, and analyzes test data using signal processing and statistics. Produces test reports, identifies failure modes and reliability risks, influences design reviews, mentors test engineers, and collaborates with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and systems teams.

Own hardware-level functional safety for custom robot electronics. Design fault-tolerant circuits, redundant architectures, diagnostics, and safe-state mechanisms at schematic and PCB levels. Perform FMEDA, reliability block diagrams, SIL calculations, component derating, and common-cause failure mitigation. Review PCB layouts, advise system architects, document safety functions, and collaborate with firmware, mechanical, systems, and electronics teams.

Develop and refine imitation learning algorithms and datasets, mentor engineers, and collaborate on robotics autonomy solutions at RIVR.

Design, implement, and optimize communication systems for delivery robots, ensuring reliable operation and integration with cloud and supervision systems.

As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll design data pipelines and apply self-supervised learning on multi-modal sensor data to enhance robotics models.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and integrate robotic platforms, collaborating across teams to optimize performance and reliability in real-world applications.

As a Junior Mechanical Engineer, you will design, develop, and test robotic systems, collaborate on hardware integration, and optimize production processes.

As a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll define quality strategies, manage quality metrics, drive improvements, conduct inspections, and establish quality systems for Amazon RIVR's robotic production.

The job requires a DevOps Engineer to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automate infrastructure, implement best practices, and manage development environments for robotics software.

Lead the design, development, and testing of robotic systems, collaborating with engineers, improving design processes, and ensuring reliability in production.

Lead the AI engineering team at RIVR, developing reinforcement learning algorithms for robotics, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and mentoring engineers.

Lead import/export compliance for RIVR: design and run cross-border trade programs, implement scalable controls, partner with regional teams, resolve shipping issues, train stakeholders, and integrate compliance into supply chain operations.

Supports procurement and supply chain activities for robotics products, including procurement bill of materials maintenance, purchase order and material tracking, supplier contract and payment coordination, inventory updates, quality issue resolution, and supplier pool management. The role requires strong English communication, Microsoft Office proficiency, attention to detail, and cross-functional coordination. Manufacturing or hardware procurement, ERP or SAP familiarity, and supplier management experience are preferred.

Support HR system migration to Amazon PeopleSoft, maintain SharePoint HR documentation, audit Swiss payroll and time-tracking, manage Swiss work permits and employee lifecycle tasks, and lead local office relocation and vendor/facility coordination to ensure smooth workplace operations.
