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-protected 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.
