About the role

Amazon.com Services LLC (Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company) in New York, NY is seeking a Principal Product Designer focused on robot animation and character. You will own the creative bar for key performances and translate character intent into animation artifacts used by other teams. You will iterate on real hardware, refine motion vocabulary, and define the robot's personality while aligning with production constraints. A reel demonstrating authorship of character and timing is required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
