Job description

Overview

Robotics System Engineer (Controls) at Unbox Robotics – Pune, India. About Unbox Robotics: We are revolutionizing warehouses and distribution centers by building compact, powerful, and flexible mobile robotics systems for the new age of warehousing. Our product is the world’s first AI-powered parcel sorting robotic system that enables faster installation, space savings, and increased productivity. Founded in 2019, we are backed by marquee investors and angels. We are looking to add to our team of thinkers, innovators and doers.

Location: Pune (Office)

Role

A Robotics System Engineer (Control) designs, develops, and implements advanced algorithms to control robotic movement, stability, and interaction with the environment. You will design, develop, and fine-tune algorithms that control the behavior of robotic systems, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to integrate hardware and software solutions that meet precise specifications and performance standards.

This role requires expertise in C++/Python, MATLAB/Simulink, ROS, and control theory.

Responsibilities

Own control system modelling and validation for real robotic systems deployed in warehouses.
Build high-fidelity electro-mechanical system models (motors, drives, sensors, mechanisms).
Implement Model-Based Development (MBD) using MATLAB/Simulink.
Design and validate closed-loop control systems.
Perform MIL → SIL → HIL validation.
Develop simulation frameworks for system-level verification.
Generate embedded code using Simulink (Embedded Coder).
Work directly with hardware and firmware teams to take models to deployment.
Analyse stability, robustness and system performance.
Debug real robots—not just simulations.
You will help build production robots, not only design controllers.

Requirements

Strong hands-on experience in MATLAB/Simulink (MBD workflow is mandatory).
Experience building plant + controller models.
Experience with MIL / SIL / HIL.
Good understanding of control theory (PID, state-space, adaptive, etc.).
Strong foundation in Linear Algebra and system dynamics.
Motor modelling & control experience (BLDC / PMSM preferred).
Understanding of embedded C/C++.
Experience working on physical systems (not purely academic).

Experience

Minimum 1-4 years of experience in robotics or control systems engineering.
Strong background in control theory and system dynamics.
Bachelor’s or Master degree in Robotics Engineering, Mechatronics, ENTC, Mechanical Engineering.
