Senior Robotics Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 28, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 16, 2026.
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Robotics Engineer to join our advanced robotics team. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy intelligent robotic systems that leverage cutting-edge AI, computer vision, perception, estimation, sensor fusion, and control algorithms. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, and product developers to bring novel robotic capabilities from concept to deployment in real-world environments.
Responsibilities
AI & Perception
Develop and integrate perception systems using computer vision, deep learning, and multimodal sensing.
Build and maintain sensor fusion pipelines combining LiDAR, cameras, IMU, radar, and GNSS.
Implement probabilistic filters (Kalman, EKF/UKF, Particle) for robust estimation under uncertainty.
System Integration & Deployment
Integrate estimation, perception, and control modules into robotic systems, ensuring seamless hardware/software interoperability.
Conduct simulations, validation, and large-scale field tests to evaluate performance.
Optimize algorithms for real-time execution on CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
Leadership & Collaboration
Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams in hardware, embedded systems, and software.
Stay current with advances in robotics, AI, perception, estimation, and controls, and integrate novel research into applied solutions.
Qualifications
Strong proficiency in C++ and Python for robotics and AI development.
Hands-on experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS/ROS2.
Practical knowledge of SLAM and LiDAR-based perception systems.
Experience deploying reinforcement learning algorithms in simulation and on real robots.
Familiarity with cloud-based robotics platforms (e.g., AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud Robotics).
Proficiency with simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or Webots) and visualization frameworks (e.g., RViz).
Strong software engineering practices: version control (Git), CI/CD, containerization (Docker).
