Job Title: Application Engineer – Robotics and Industrial Automation
Location: Bangalore, India
Experience: 8-10 Years
Department: Product Development – Robotics and Industrial Automation
Reports to: Product Development Head

Job Summary:

A technically sound and execution-focused Application Engineer to lead solution development, integration and delivery of robotic and industrial automation systems. This role bridges concept design and engineering execution by owning application-level architecture, coordinating interdisciplinary teams and supporting on-ground deployment. The candidate will lead detail engineers (mechanical & software) and work closely with customers, vendors and internal teams to develop advanced automation solutions.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in mechatronics and/or automation software, hands-on commissioning experience and the ability to translate functional requirements into reliable system designs.

Key Responsibilities:

Solution Architecture & Engineering Planning:

  • Lead technical definition and architecture of automation and robotic systems, including layout planning, subsystem selection and performance targets.
  • Evaluate project feasibility, component selection (sensors, actuators, PLCs, drives, robots) and risk assessment.
  • Translate user and functional requirements into system specifications and engineering deliverables.

    • Team Coordination & Technical Oversight:

  • Supervise and guide Detail Engineers (Software and Mechatronics) in design detailing, programming, system integration and documentation.
  • Review engineering drawings, control logic, BOMs, and test procedures for accuracy and completeness.
  • Conduct design reviews and ensure adherence to project timelines and quality standards.

    • System Integration & Commissioning:

  • Own end-to-end integration of mechanical and software systems for industrial automation setups.
  • Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and on-site commissioning.
  • Troubleshoot system-level issues during integration, provide resolution strategies and drive field improvements.

    • Customer & Vendor Coordination:

  • Serve as the technical point of contact for customer queries, requirements clarification and solution demonstration.
  • Liaise with external vendors and suppliers for custom parts, integration kits, and support during build and deployment phases.

    • Documentation & Knowledge Management:

  • Ensure preparation of comprehensive technical documentation including SRS, I/O lists, user manuals and commissioning reports.
  • Capture learning from each deployment and contribute to standardization and reusability across projects.

    • Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics / Mechanical / Electrical / Electronics / Instrumentation Engineering.
  • 6–8 years of hands-on experience in robotics, industrial automation, or special-purpose machines (SPMs).
  • Strong understanding of both mechanical and control software aspects of automation systems.
  • Proven track record in leading multi-disciplinary teams for automation solution delivery.
  • Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), PLC/SCADA platforms (Siemens, Rockwell, Codesys), and industrial communication protocols (Profinet, Modbus, OPC UA).
  • Exposure to robot programming (ABB, KUKA, FANUC, UR, etc.) is a strong advantage.

    • Key Competencies:

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent coordination, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Ability to work in fast-paced environments and manage field execution challenges.
  • Willingness to travel for site installations and commissioning support.
