Job description

The Opportunity

Robotics – and particularly the rapidly accelerating humanoid market – is an essential growth vector for Allegro MicroSystems. As a Systems Engineer, Robotics within our Industrial Business Segment (IBS) Corporate Strategy Team, you will have a direct impact on strengthening Allegro's position in this exciting new frontier.

In this role, you will sit at the intersection of hands-on engineering and strategic marketing. You will be a creative technical force that evaluates our newest Sensing and Power products and brings them to life through compelling, real-world robotics demonstrations. We are offering a tremendous opportunity for a passionate mechatronics engineer to help shape the future of robotics at Allegro.

What You Will Do

Robotics Prototyping & Demo Development

• Act as a creative mind of the team by conceptualizing, designing, and building meaningful robotics demonstrations (e.g., humanoid joint actuators, dexterous hands) that showcase Allegro’s capabilities.
• Apply your hands-on mechatronics expertise to integrate Allegro's motor drivers, magnetic sensors, and power management ICs into functional robotic sub-systems.

Technical Evaluation & Lab Analysis

• Execute hardware evaluation. Calibration, and debugging on innovative new sensing and power products.
• Benchmark system-level performance (e.g., control loop latency, torque estimation, sensor accuracy) to ensure our solutions meet the demands of modern robotics and humanoid applications.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Marketing Support

• Partner closely with Marketing, Product Line teams, and external stakeholders to translate complex lab data into high-impact technical marketing collateral.
• Serve as a collaborative team player and technical subject matter expert, bridging the gap between R&D, product strategy, and customer-facing demonstrations.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Familiarity with robotic control systems, kinematics, motion planning, and AI/ML-enabled systems.
• Hardware and mechatronics: foundation in circuit design, component selection, PCB layout and debug workflows, and electromechanical systems (sensors/actuators).
• Embedded and programming: familiarity with microcontrollers and experience in C and Python for testing and integration.
• Entry-level to 5 years of professional experience in robotics, mechatronics, or electronics engineering.
• A deep, demonstrable passion for the robotics industry, with a keen interest in the evolving humanoid landscape.
• Creative Problem Solver: you love brainstorming out-of-the-box ideas for new products and ways to demonstrate technology.
• Exceptional Communicator: you can distil highly technical lab results into clear, compelling stories and marketing materials.
• Collaborative Team Player: you thrive in highly interactive environments and build strong relationships with both internal teams and external partners.
• Technical growth: you are willing to stay current with developments in robotics, embedded systems, and engineering tools.

This role will be located in Manchester NH USA, Annecy, France, or Milano, Italy.
