ALTEN Technology USA is seeking a Sr. Robotics Engineer to support their robotics platform development, focusing on integrating off-the-shelf sensors and ensuring seamless data flow into perception, control, and data fusion systems.
Requirements
- 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)
- Programming proficiency in both: 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.
- Experience with motion capture and sensor ecosystems such as OptiTrack, Manus, StretchSense, Rokoko, or ZED stereo cameras.
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.
Other
- 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.
- All candidates selected for employment will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment drug screening as a condition of hire.
