Systems Engineer - Robotics
Allegro MicroSystemsJob Title
Systems Engineer - Robotics
Role Summary
Systems Engineer within the Industrial Business Segment (IBS) Corporate Strategy Team responsible for developing hands-on robotics demonstrations and evaluating Allegro's sensing and power products in real-world robotic subsystems.
This role combines mechatronics engineering, hardware evaluation, and technical marketing support to validate product performance for humanoid and industrial robotics applications.
Experience Level
Entry-level (0–5 years of professional experience); suitable for early-career mechatronics/robotics engineers.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include designing and building robot demos, evaluating hardware, and translating technical results into marketing materials.
- Conceptualize, design, and build robotics demonstrations (e.g., humanoid joint actuators, dexterous hands) that showcase Allegro products.
- Integrate motor drivers, magnetic sensors, and power management ICs into functional electromechanical subsystems.
- Perform hardware evaluation, calibration, and debugging on sensing and power products.
- Benchmark system-level performance metrics such as control loop latency, torque estimation, and sensor accuracy.
- Collaborate with Marketing, Product Line teams, and external partners to convert lab data into technical marketing collateral.
- Act as a technical subject-matter expert bridging R&D, product strategy, and customer-facing demonstrations.
Requirements
Must-have skills and competencies for success in this role.
- Familiarity with robotic control systems, kinematics, motion planning, and AI/ML-enabled systems.
- Hardware and mechatronics experience: circuit design fundamentals, component selection, PCB layout workflows, and electromechanical systems (sensors/actuators).
- Embedded systems experience with microcontrollers and practical programming in C and Python for testing and integration.
- Experience with hardware evaluation, debugging, calibration, and system benchmarking.
- Strong communication skills: able to distill technical lab results into clear stories and marketing materials.
- Collaborative team player comfortable working across R&D, product, and marketing teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience building humanoid joint actuators, dexterous hands, or similar robotics demos.
- Deeper familiarity with AI/ML techniques applied to sensing or control.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
