Proxima Executive Search has been mandated by a 45+ year-old listed Indian engineering company serving the Defence & Aerospace sector to identify an accomplished engineering leader for the position of Director – Motion Systems & Robotics Engineering, based at Ballabgarh, Haryana.

The company is strengthening its technology capabilities and developing a new generation of precision Pan-Tilt Units and stabilised electro-mechanical systems for defence applications. The selected leader will have the chance to build a world-class Motion Systems capability and create a sustainable technology platform for future defence programmes.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on technology leadership role for an engineering professional with deep expertise in robotics, precision motion control, servo systems and systems engineering.

The incumbent will lead the complete development of Pan-Tilt Units and related precision motion systems—from system architecture and controls to electronics, embedded software, sensor integration, validation and product release.





The role will also involve building and leading a multidisciplinary engineering team while collaborating closely with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality.

Key Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design and development of Pan-Tilt Units and stabilised electro-mechanical systems. Define system architecture, technical documentation, validation and product-release processes. Lead multidisciplinary teams across embedded software, electronics and PCB design. Develop high-performance motor controllers, system controllers and real-time control software. Apply advanced control techniques including PID, LQR, Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Kalman Filtering for precision stabilisation, disturbance rejection and target tracking. Lead integration of IMUs, GNSS, digital compasses, accelerometers, EO payloads, thermal imagers, laser rangefinders, radar and Li DAR into robust sensor-fusion architectures. Establish strong sys
