Uncharted AI is a deep-tech startup building autonomous robotic systems and AI-powered intelligence platforms for mining, industrial operations, and challenging field environments.

We combine robotics, artificial intelligence, geospatial intelligence, and advanced sensing to transform how industries explore, inspect, and operate in complex environments.

Our technology spans autonomous navigation, robotic sensing, geospatial analysis, and intelligent decision-making. We develop everything from robotic hardware and autonomy software to intelligent platforms that transform complex field data into actionable insights.

We are looking for passionate engineers and technicians who enjoy solving challenging real-world problems, taking ownership, and building technology that operates beyond controlled laboratory environments.

About the Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer to deploy, operate, and maintain autonomous robotic systems at customer sites across India. This is a hands-on engineering role that combines robotics software development, field operations, troubleshooting, and customer-facing deployments.

You will work closely with our robotics engineering team to bring autonomous systems from development environments into reliable, continuous real-world operation.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working with robots in challenging industrial environments, debugging problems under operational constraints, and taking responsibility for ensuring successful deployments.

Key Responsibilities

Robotic Deployment & Field Operations

- Deploy, configure, and commission autonomous robotic systems at customer facilities.




- Supervise autonomous robot operations and ensure reliable execution of assigned missions.
- Monitor robot health, performance, sensor data, and operational status.
- Perform manual or teleoperated intervention whenever autonomous systems require operator assistance.
- Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, networking, and sensor-related issues in office.
- Conduct preventive maintenance, calibration, and routine inspections.
- Maintain operational logs, incident reports, and deployment documentation.

Robotics & Autonomy Engineering

- Configure, test, and optimize autonomous navigation and localization systems.
- Work with SLAM, path planning, obstacle avoidance, and robot control systems.
- Debug robotics software using ROS/ROS 2 and Linux-based development tools.
- Collect, analyze, and report field performance data.
- Collaborate with the core engineering team to improve autonomy reliability.
- Develop scripts and tools that simplify deployment, monitoring, and debugging.

Customer Engagement

- Coordinate technical deployment activities with customer teams.
- Support system demonstrations, commissioning, and acceptance testing.
- Communicate technical issues and operational requirements to internal engineering teams.




- Ensure adherence to customer-site safety and operational procedures.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
- Hands-on experience building, integrating, or operating robotic systems.
- Working knowledge of ROS/ROS 2.
- Proficiency in Python and/or C++.
- Good understanding of autonomous navigation, robotics sensors, and control systems.
- Experience working with Linux/Ubuntu.
- Ability to troubleshoot electromechanical systems.
- Willingness to travel extensively and work at industrial customer sites across India.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with autonomous mobile robots, quadrupeds, or unmanned ground vehicles.
- Familiarity with LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, GNSS/RTK, and other robotic sensors.
- Experience with SLAM, LiDAR odometry, and localization.
- Understanding of industrial networking, remote monitoring, and telemetry.
- Experience with Docker, Git, SSH, and remote system administration.
- Previous experience deploying robots in mining, manufacturing, or industrial environments.

Who we're looking for

Someone who enjoys working directly with robots rather than exclusively behind a desk.

You should be comfortable taking ownership of a deployment, diagnosing problems independently, and working with the engineering team to continuously improve robot reliability.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in making autonomous robotics dependable in real industrial environments.
