Overview

ALTEN Technology USA is an engineering company that provides solutions for engineering, technology, and product development projects. ALTEN Group operates in 30 countries and employs more than 36,000 people, with a focus on engineering and information technology services. Our offices across the US engage with clients in different ways, ranging from on-site work to delivery-center development. When you join ALTEN Technology USA, you join a group dedicated to collaboration, mentorship, and career growth. We offer comprehensive benefits for all full-time employees, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; a 401(k) plan with employer matching; paid time off (PTO); paid parental leave; and mentorship. We were named on the 2023 Top Workplaces list based on employee feedback.

Role

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Robotics Engineer to support our robotics platform development. This role involves bringing up off-the-shelf sensors, validating data pipelines, and ensuring seamless integration into perception, control, and data fusion systems. You will work closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams to enable robust, real-time robotic behaviors.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the initialization and functional bring-up of diverse off-the-shelf sensors (e.g., IMUs, depth cameras, tactile sensors, motion capture systems) across various robotic platforms.
  • Investigate and integrate manufacturer-provided SDKs and APIs to unlock advanced sensor features and custom configurations.
  • Capture and validate sample sensor data in real-world and simulated environments to assess signal quality, accuracy, and noise characteristics.
  • Design and implement calibration and data synchronization routines to align sensor outputs with robotic system timebases and coordinate frames.
  • Ensure sensor data formats (e.g., timestamps, units, message schemas) are compatible with downstream software modules including SLAM, perception, control, and sensor fusion frameworks.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, controls, and software teams to define sensor integration requirements and testing criteria.
  • Build and maintain tools or scripts (primarily in Python) for automated data recording, visualization, and performance benchmarking.
  • Document integration steps, known issues, and performance characteristics for each sensor platform to support reuse and scaling across multiple robotic platforms.

Required Qualifications

  • 6+ years of hands-on experience in robotics, mechatronics, or embedded systems engineering.
  • Strong background in control systems and real-world sensor integration.
  • Proven experience with SDKs / APIs and bridging hardware with software.
  • Programming proficiency in both :
  • A dynamically typed language (e.g., Python)

  • A statically typed language (e.g., C, C++, Java, or Kotlin)
  • Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git), CI / CD practices, and test-driven development.
  • Qualifications (Bonus Points)

  • Experience with motion capture and sensor ecosystems such as OptiTrack, Manus, StretchSense, Rokoko, or ZED stereo cameras.
  • Familiarity with AR / VR headsets and their associated tracking APIs.
  • Firmware and embedded systems knowledge, including driver-level programming.
  • Experience working with RTOS-based systems for real-time robotics applications.
  • Practical experience with ROS / ROS2, including writing custom nodes or launch files.
  • Solid understanding of hardware communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).
  • Background in streaming and processing real-time data in high-throughput applications.
  • Salary

    Salary Range : $150,000-185,000

    The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate's combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience.
