• 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-safe 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.
