Robotics Engineer
rnc· TECH > Robotics
About this role
Work Type: On-site
Location: Mumbai (Dadar)
Job Type: Full-time
Experience: 1–3 Years
About the role
We're building learning-based control for diverse robotic systems, aimed at real-world deployment in industrial setups. We pair classical robotics - kinematics, dynamics, perception, navigation, control - with modern vision-language-action (VLA) models, and we care as much about what happens on real hardware as in simulation.
You'll join a small, technically dense team where your work ships to physical robots quickly. If you like the space between "the model said to move here" and "the arm actually moved there, safely," this is that job.
What you'll do
- Model and characterize robot manipulators: kinematics, dynamics, coordinate frames, calibration.
- Build and maintain robot models and simulation environments, and keep sim behavior faithful to the real arms.
- Bring up hardware: servo/motor control, sensor integration, teleoperation and data-collection rigs.
- Work at the boundary between classical control and learned policies - turning a policy's output into safe, reliable motion on hardware.
- Creation of data flywheel for model fine-tuning for multiple tasks and embodiments
- Set up evaluation: reproducible benchmarks in sim and on the robot, with honest metrics.
- Debug the messy real-world failures that never show up in a paper.
What we're looking for
- 1–3 years of hands-on robotics experience (industry, research lab, or a serious body of personal/open-source work).
- Strong grounding in classical robotics: forward/inverse kinematics, rigid-body dynamics, trajectory generation, feedback control, transforms.
- Experience with robot modeling (e.g. URDF / MJCF / SDF) and at least one physics simulator (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim/Gym, Gazebo, PyBullet, or similar).
- Proficient in Python and C++.
- Comfortable on Linux, with Git, and working close to hardware.
- Clear communicator who can reason from first principles and validate claims against real data or source code rather than intuition alone.
Nice to have (a plus, not required)
- A portfolio of robotics work - repos, demos, videos, publications, competition entries, or a personal project we can look at.
- Exposure to learning-based robotics: imitation learning, VLA models, or RL for control.
- Hands-on time with real manipulators and grippers.
- Perception experience (depth cameras, point clouds, hand-eye calibration).
- Background in optimization or optimal control.
- Familiarity with the LeRobot / OpenVLA ecosystem.
Why join
- Real robots, real deployment targets, short loop from idea to hardware.
- A team strong in controls, safety, and systems - you'll learn fast.
