Automation and Robotics Engineer

Expleo Group; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,500,000 - 2,100,000; Full time

Job summary

Expleo Group is seeking an Automation & Robotics Engineer (Connectivity) to join the on-site team in Bengaluru. You will fuse shopfloor automation with IT/OT connectivity, integrating machines, IoT devices and factory data using OPC UA, MQTT, and Kepware.

The role focuses on deploying the UNS stack and building dashboards to monitor equipment performance. The ideal candidate has deep hands-on experience on the shop floor with PLC/SCADA systems, and can explain UNS concepts or data normalization

Qualifications

• Requires hands-on shopfloor time with PLC/SCADA systems.
• Experience deploying UNS concepts and data normalization across multiple brands.
• Ability to explain UNS and data flow concepts clearly to a multidisciplinary team.
• GG2.2 level is acceptable; hands-on connectivity is non‑negotiable.

Responsibilities

• Integrates and connects industrial machines, equipment and IoT devices — OPC-UA, MQTT, Kepware, OPC Router, Node-RED.
• Deploys the Unified Namespace (UNS) stack — HiveMQ, Sparkplug, HighByte — and configures industrial data flows.
• Manages real-time and batch data collection for production monitoring.
• Designs and deploys supervision dashboards (Grafana, Ignition) for equipment and factory performance.
• Supports operator training and troubleshooting of connected assets.

Essential Skills

Keywords to find in a CV

Tech (priority): OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, Node-RED, Kepware, OPC Router, HighByte , HiveMQ , PLC / SCADA, Ignition, Grafana, Modbus / Profinet , edge connectivity, industrial protocols.

How To Find And Screen

• Prioritize real shopfloor / PLC / SCADA time over pure IT — this role lives on the floor.
• Core stack: OPC UA + MQTT + Kepware / Ignition; probe depth on at least two of these.
• Ask them to explain a UNS, or how they'd normalize data from three different machine brands.
• Lower grade (GG2.2) so slightly less experience is fine — hands-on connectivity is non‑negotiable.

The gist

The OT-side hands. Gets the machines talking, gets the data off the floor, and builds the supervision dashboards. The most shopfloor-heavy role on the pod.
