Mobile & Manipulation Systems

Department: Robotics Engineer (AGV & Robotic Manipulation)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Location: Chennai

Experience: 1-3 yrs

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Robotics R&D Engineer to design and develop next-generation autonomous mobile robotic systems (AGV/AMR with manipulation capabilities).

This role involves end-to-end system development - from concept design and simulation to prototyping, integration, and real-world deployment.

You will work across mechanical, embedded, and software domains to build fully integrated robotic platforms capable of navigation, perception, and intelligent control.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex electromechanical problems and building real-world robotics systems from scratch.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop autonomous mobile robotic systems (AGV/AMR) with integrated manipulation capabilities.

Develop and optimize ROS2-based navigation and control stacks.

Integrate sensors such as LiDAR, IMU, depth cameras, and encoders.

Perform hardwaresoftware integration of actuators, controllers, and embedded systems.

Conduct simulation using Gazebo / NVIDIA Isaac Sim before deployment.

Develop and test control algorithms for mobility and stability.

Lead rapid prototyping efforts including mechanical and electronic validation.

Perform real-world testing, validation, and performance optimization.

Demonstrate system capabilities to stakeholders and incorporate feedback.

Maintain clear documentation of architecture, schematics, simulations, and code.
