What the work involves
Day to day
Designing and commissioning automated systems - robot cells, motion control, vision, PLC and safety integration - for manufacturing, warehousing and increasingly agriculture and services.
Who this suits
Fit
Engineers who like mechanical, electrical and software together. Indian manufacturing is automating steadily and warehouse automation has grown quickly with e-commerce, so integration skills are in demand and cross several industries.
The honest reality
Read this one
Most Indian roles are systems integration - deploying imported robots and controllers - rather than building robots, and expectations set by research labs do not match that. Commissioning means travel to client plants and long shifts to hit a production restart. Labour cost in India is low enough that automation cases are harder to justify than in the West, which slows the market. Research-grade work generally requires a postgraduate qualification.
