Senior Robotic engineer

Senior Engineer – Technical IntegrationLocation: CoimbatoreEmployment Type: Full-TimeDepartment: Robotics / EngineeringReports To: Engineering ManagementWe are looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer – Technical Integration to help lead the engineering development of our robotics platform.The role will work closely with the Mechanical, Electrical, Embedded/Controls and Software teams to integrate the robot, solve engineering problems, support testing, and improve the product from its current MVP stage toward a more reliable and production-ready system.This is a hands-on technical leadership role, suited to an experienced robotics or mechatronics engineer who enjoys working across disciplines and solving real-world engineering problems.Key ResponsibilitiesRobotics System IntegrationCoordinate integration of mechanical, electrical, embedded and software systems.Review interfaces between major subsystems.Identify and resolve integration problems.Support robot assembly, commissioning and troubleshooting.Review system performance and identify areas for improvement.Engineering Problem SolvingInvestigate technical problems encountered during development and testing.Work with the relevant engineers to identify root causes.Coordinate corrective actions and verify solutions.Help prevent recurring technical problems.Make practical engineering recommendations based on test results and data.MVP DevelopmentSupport stabilization and improvement of the current robotics MVP.Coordinate technical activities required for prototype testing.Track important engineering issues and their resolution.Support field testing and incorporate test/field feedback into development.Product ImprovementIdentify practical improvements to robot performance, reliability and usability.Evaluate alternative components, mechanisms and technical approaches.Support redesign and optimization of existing systems.Work with engineering teams on the next product iteration.Testing & ValidationHelp define practical engineering tests and acceptance criteria.Coordinate subsystem and system-level testing.Review test results and identify required improvements.Support endurance, performance and environmental testing where applicable.Technical CoordinationConduct technical discussions with Mechanical, Electrical, Embedded and Software engineers.Maintain clear ownership of major technical issues.Support engineering planning and prioritization.Communicate significant technical issues, risks and recommendations to management.Required QualificationsBachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.5–8+ years of relevant professional experience in robotics, mechatronics, automation or complex electromechanical products.Experience developing and integrating physical robotic or mechatronic systems.Good understanding of mechanical, electrical and embedded systems.Experience with motors, actuators, sensors and control systems.Experience troubleshooting real-world hardware and prototype problems.Experience with system integration and testing.Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.Preferred ExperienceExperience in one or more of the following is an advantage:Mobile roboticsInspection roboticsIndustrial roboticsCompact robotic systemsRemote-operated robotsField roboticsMotor and motion-control systemsSensor integrationWaterproof or harsh-environment equipmentPrototype-to-product developmentReliability improvementRoot-cause analysisTechnical SkillsThe candidate should be comfortable working with several of the following:Mechanical:CAD, mechanisms, motors, gearboxes, bearings, shafts, wheels, tolerances and mechanical integration.Electrical:Motor drivers, power systems, batteries, sensors, wiring, connectors and basic electronics troubleshooting.Embedded/Controls:Microcontrollers, motor control, sensors, encoders, communication interfaces and basic control systems.Testing:Oscilloscope, multimeter, current/voltage measurement, data logging and practical prototype test equipment.Software/Development:Basic working knowledge of C/C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, ROS/ROS2 or equivalent tools is beneficial.Experience with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, Altium, KiCad, Git or equivalent tools is an advantage.You do not need to be an expert in every tool or discipline. Strong practical robotics experience is more important.What We Are Looking ForWe are looking for someone who can:Think at the system level rather than only within one discipline.Get involved in practical engineering problems.Work comfortably with experienced technical specialists.Take ownership of an engineering problem and drive it toward closure.Make practical decisions using engineering evidence.Communicate technical issues clearly.Balance engineering quality with project timelines.Learn quickly when working outside their primary discipline.A strong candidate should be able to move from:Problem → Investigation → Engineering Solution → Testing → ImprovementSuccess in this role means:Faster resolution of major integration problems.Better coordination between engineering disciplines.Fewer recurring technical issues.Better test and development discipline.Measurable improvement in robot performance and reliability.Clear progress from MVP toward the next product iteration.Ideal CandidateThe ideal candidate is a hands-on robotics/mechatronics engineer who has moved into technical leadership.You don't need to know everything.You need to know enough about the complete system to ask the right questions, identify the real problem, bring the right engineers together, and make sure the solution actually works.
