Employment Type: Full-time

Reports To: CEO

About the Company:

We founded Sakar Robotics to collapse fragmented point solutions into a single extensible mobile manipulation platform. Traditional automation requires bespoke integration per workflow—slow to deploy, rigid to evolve. We built a composable stack where perception, autonomy, manipulation and orchestration cooperate natively.

Guided by field feedback across regulated, high‑mix and throughput‑critical domains, we iterate on production reality—not lab abstractions—building durable leverage for customers.

Our mission is to deliver a unified robotics platform that can be rapidly configured to execute diverse workflows—reducing time‑to‑value, elevating safety, and embedding continuous improvement loops into daily operations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end hardware and electronics architecture for AMR platforms


• Lead integration of motors, motor controllers, batteries, sensors, and safety systems


• Act as system-level owner bridging mechanics, electronics, and robotics software


• Support autonomy stack integration (ROS/ROS2), sensor bring-up, and tuning


• Oversee prototype bring-up, debugging, field testing, and validation


• Define electrical schematics, wiring architecture, and interface documentation


• Coordinate with software, mechanical, and autonomy teams for seamless integration


• Guide component selection, vendor interaction, and technical reviews


• Mentor team members and drive engineering best practices

Must-Have Skills:

• Hands-on experience in robotics system integration (AMR / AGV / mobile robots)


• Strong knowledge of electronics hardware, motor control, power systems, and sensors


• Experience with robotics software stacks (ROS/ROS2) and autonomy integration


• Understanding of embedded systems, communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, I2C)


• Ability to debug real-world robotics issues involving mechanics, electronics, and software


• Experience in bringing up robots from prototype to field-ready state

Good-to-Have Skills:

• Experience with outdoor robots and unstructured terrain navigation


• Knowledge of SLAM, localization, sensor fusion, and navigation concepts


• Embedded firmware development or tuning experience


• Familiarity with robotics safety standards and field deployment practices


• Experience with simulation, testing frameworks, or HIL/SIL setups

Soft Skills:

• Strong communication and coordination


• Ownership and accountability

• Problem-solving and proactive approach


• Adaptability in a fast-paced environment


• Team collaboration and positive attitude
