Title: Automation & Robotics Engineer – Battery Swap Station | Blinq Mobility

Location: Gurgaon / Manesar
Type: Full time, On-site
Start Date: Immediate

About the Company
Blinq Mobility is an IIT Delhi–founded EV startup building modular electric microcars with automated battery-swapping technology. We're redefining urban mobility through innovation, safety, and sustainable engineering, and have built and demonstrated India's first automated 4-wheeler battery-swap station.

Role Overview
We're looking for an Automation & Robotics Engineer to take ownership of our battery-swap station program. You'll inherit a working v1 station (sub-3-minute swap, validated on a live Vehicle) and lead the development of Swap Station v2, a universal, multi-vehicle station running 16 coordinated motors over EtherCAT, RS485, Ethernet with cloud telemetry.

You'll work cross-functionally with mechanical, vehicle electronics, and product teams to bring the station from prototype to deployment.

Responsibilities:
Own the full automation & electronics stack of the swap station, PLC ladder logic, HMI,



sensors, actuators, and safety interlocks
Architect and implement EtherCAT, rs485, and Ethernet-based motion control (servo and stepper drives)
Design and integrate mechatronic subsystems: lead-screw lifts, battery carriages, alignment systems, and end-of-arm tooling.
Size and select drives, motors, and gearing via torque/RPM, load, and duty-cycle analysis.
Build cloud telemetry and remote diagnostics for fleet-level station uptime monitoring.
Define and execute commissioning, fault-recovery logic, and field-validation cycles on live vehicles.
Coordinate with mechanical, firmware, and vehicle integration teams to close out the v2 build.
Lead vendor sourcing and BOM costing for automation components (drives, controllers, sensors, structural).
Document the system end-to-end, schematics, ladder logic, HMI screens, and commissioning procedures.

Qualifications:
B.Tech / M.Tech in Mechatronics, E
