Job Title:

Application Engineer - Robotics and Industrial Automation

Location:

Bangalore, India

Experience:

8-10 Years

Department:

Product Development - Robotics and Industrial Automation

Reports to:

Product Development Head

Job Summary:

A technically sound and execution-focused

Application Engineer

to lead solution development, integration and delivery of robotic and industrial automation systems. This role bridges concept design and engineering execution by owning application-level architecture, coordinating interdisciplinary teams and supporting on-ground deployment. The candidate will lead detail engineers (mechanical & software) and work closely with customers, vendors and internal teams to develop advanced automation solutions.


The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in

mechatronics and/or automation software

, hands-on commissioning experience and the ability to translate functional requirements into reliable system designs.

Key Responsibilities:

Solution Architecture & Engineering Planning:

Lead technical definition and architecture of automation and robotic systems, including layout planning, subsystem selection and performance targets. Evaluate project feasibility, component selection (sensors, actuators, PLCs, drives, robots) and risk assessment. Translate user and functional requirements into system specifications and engineering deliverables.

Team Coordination & Technical Oversight:

Supervise and guide Detail Engineers (Software and Mechatronics) in design detailing, programming, system integration and documentation. Review engineering drawings, control logic, BOMs, and test procedures for accuracy and completeness. Conduct design reviews and ensure adherence to project timelines and quality standards.

System Integration & Commissioning:

Own end-to-end integration of mechanical and software systems for industrial automation setups. Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and on-site commissioning. Troubleshoot system-level issues during integration, provide resolution strategies and drive field improvements.

Customer & Vendor Coordination:

Serve as the technical point of contact for customer queries, requirements clarification and solution demonstration. Liaise with external vendors and suppliers for custom parts, integration kits, and support during build and deployment phases.

Documentation & Knowledge Management:

Ensure preparation of comprehensive technical documentation including SRS, I/O lists, user manuals and commissioning reports. Capture learning from each deployment and contribute to standardization and reusability across projects.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in

Mechatronics / Mechanical / Electrical / Electronics / Instrumentation Engineering

. 6-8 years of hands-on experience in

robotics, industrial automation, or special-purpose machines (SPMs)

. Strong understanding of both

mechanical and control software aspects

of automation systems. Proven track record in leading

multi-disciplinary teams

for automation solution delivery. Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), PLC/SCADA platforms (Siemens, Rockwell, Codesys), and industrial communication protocols (Profinet, Modbus, OPC UA). Exposure to

robot programming

(ABB, KUKA, FANUC, UR, etc.) is a strong advantage.

Key Competencies:

Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. Excellent coordination, communication, and documentation skills. Ability to work in fast-paced environments and manage field execution challenges. * Willingness to travel for site installations and commissioning support.
