About Sakar Robotics

Sakar Robotics is a Pune-based deep-tech company building intelligent mobile manipulation platforms that bring autonomy to regulated and throughput-critical industries. Our flagship platform,
SakarBot

, combines advanced perception, sensor-fused SLAM-based navigation, secure manipulation, and adaptive orchestration to execute high-value tasks in environments ranging from pharmaceutical labs and manufacturing lines to high-throughput commercial operations.

We architected a composable stack where perception, autonomy, manipulation, and orchestration work natively together — replacing fragmented, bespoke automation with a single extensible platform. We are a small, mission-driven team of roboticists, AI engineers, systems designers, and operators, and we iterate on production reality, not lab abstractions.





Role Overview

We are seeking a
VP of Technology

to lead our engineering organization and own the end-to-end technology vision for our autonomous mobile manipulation platform. You will be responsible for translating our product roadmap into robust, field-deployable systems — spanning computer vision, autonomy, robotic manipulation, embedded systems, and cloud orchestration.

This is a builder's leadership role. You will architect, code-review, hire, mentor, and ship. You will work directly with the founders on strategy while remaining deeply hands-on with the technology.
