Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Robotics Control Systems Engineer to lead the design and development of industrial-grade control systems for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Forklift AMRs, and Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS).

The role involves defining control architectures, reviewing hardware platforms, implementing industrial safety standards, and mentoring engineering teams to develop production-ready robotics solutions for warehouse and industrial automation environments.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and develop real-time motion control systems for AMR, Forklift AMR, and ASRS platforms.
- Define and optimize motor control algorithms including PID, FOC, torque control, speed control, and vector control.
- Architect safety-critical control systems aligned with IEC 61508, ISO 13849, and related industrial standards.
- Develop hardware-software interface specifications for MCU, FPGA, DSP, and embedded controller platforms.
- Conduct technical audits and gap analysis of existing robotics hardware architectures.
- Establish hardware design guidelines covering EMC, thermal management, component derating, and industrial reliability.
- Lead integration of LiDAR, IMU, Encoders, Vision Systems, and Ultrasonic Sensors for localization and navigation.
- Guide implementation of Sensor Fusion, EKF/UKF algorithms, and SLAM-based navigation systems.
- Define control strategies for forklift functions including mast control, tilt control, load handling, and positioning systems.
- Develop FMEA/FMECA methodologies for safety, reliability, collision avoidance,



and fail-safe operation.
- Collaborate with software, mechanical, and fleet management teams for WMS/ERP integration.
- Mentor engineering teams through code reviews, design reviews, documentation standards, and technical training programs.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Robotics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in Robotics Control Systems or Industrial Automation Engineering.
- Proven experience in autonomous systems, material handling equipment, AGVs, Forklift AMRs, or warehouse automation platforms.
- Experience working with industrial control systems and embedded platforms in production environments.
