pRIVR, part of Amazon is a robotics team pioneering Physical AI through real-world deployment and doorstep deliveries. 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 by gathering rich operational data at scale. /ppWe are looking for a hands‑on and curious Test Engineer to ensure the reliability and performance of our advanced robotic systems. This is a unique, mixed-profile role at the heart of our hardware development.
