Robotics Engineer

Location: Bengaluru / On-site (with field deployments)

Experience: 24 years (flexible for exceptional candidates)

Employment Type: Full-time

We are looking for aRobotics Engineer who can workacross software and hardware layers ofAutonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) .

This role involvesdesigning, integrating, and deploying robotic systems for underwater autonomy, with strong ownership overROS-based architectures, sensor fusion, and system integration .

You will work closely withmechanical, electronics, autonomy, and product teams , taking systems fromlab to water .

• Design, develop, and maintainROS / ROS2-based architectures for AUVs and ROVs
• Implementsensor fusion pipelines using IMU, DVL, depth sensors, cameras, sonar, GPS (surface), etc.
• Develop and integratenavigation, localization, and state estimation algorithms
• Work onreal-time robotics middleware , data pipelines, and mission control interfaces
• Support autonomy levels ranging fromteleoperated to semi-autonomous and autonomous modes

• Ownend-to-end robotic system integration (software electronics sensors mechanical)
• Leadrobotics sensor selection , benchmarking, and validation (IMUs, DVLs, sonars, cameras, pressure sensors, acoustic modems)
• Interface with vendors forsensor evaluation, procurement, and finalisation
• Support electrical integration with flight controllers, SBCs, power systems, and comms modules
• Assist inwaterproofing, pressure tolerance, and field readiness considerations

• Plan and executelab tests, pool trials, and field deployments
• Debug complexhardwaresoftware interaction issues
• Analyse logs, sensor data, and mission results to improve system performance
• Supportsystem validation, reliability testing, and failure analysis

• Work closely withmechanical, electronics, AI, and product teams
• Translate mission requirements intorobotics system specifications
• Contribute tosystem architecture decisions and design reviews
• Document system behaviour, interfaces, and operational procedures
  

• Strong experience withROS / ROS2
• Hands-on experience withrobotics sensor fusion (IMU + DVL + depth + vision/sonar)
• Proficiency inC++ and/or Python
• Solid understanding of:
• Kinematics & dynamics
• Localization & navigation
• Control systems
• Experience integratingreal-world robotic hardware
• Comfortable working withembedded systems, SBCs, and flight controllers

• Prior experience withAUVs, ROVs, USVs, drones, or field robotics
• Experience withunderwater sensors (DVL, imaging sonar, acoustic comms)
• Familiarity withPX4 / ArduPilot or similar autopilots
• Exposure tomarine environments, field robotics, or defence systems
• Experience working withGit, CI/CD, and structured testing workflows
  

• Comfortable workinghands-on across hardware and software
• Thrives inearly-stage, fast-iteration environments
• Willing to get involved infield trials and deployments
• Thinks insystems , not silos
• Can own problems end-to-end and drive them to closure
