Lead robotics hardware engineer

Who Are We ()

Niqo Robotics is a Bangalore based Agri-tech company centred on AI, Computer Vision and Robotics, revolutionizing the way farming is undertaken in India and the world. Our mission is simple – Building accessible and reliable robots for sustainable farming.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a systems-level leader to own the hardware roadmap. You are a "Generalist-plus"—someone who views the robot as a holistic system rather than a collection of components. You prioritize deep technical innovation and R& D to maintain a competitive advantage, while leveraging vendor ecosystems for standardized, off -the-shelf components. You thrive on managing vendor ecosystems and have the player-coach mentality to lead a small, focused R& D team.

What you will be doing

Define and manage full-system hardware architecture (power, compute, sensors, actuators) Architect complex modular systems and custom module design, focused on driving technical innovation and maintaining a unique competitive advantage Strategically incorporate off -the-shelf (OTS) components to simplify system architecture and accelerate development cycles Lead a lean R& D team, balancing management with hands-on technical guidance Manage vendor and contract manufacturer relationships to ensure quality and delivery

What you need to make the cut

8+ years in embedded hardware, robotics, or complex electromechanical system design Proven deep expertise in core hardware design and R& D Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor a lean and high-performing engineering team Expertise in embedded hardware (ST/ARM), electrical systems integration, CAD tools, and low/high-speed communication protocols (CAN, I2 C, SPI, Ethernet, USB, MIPI, LVDS).

How can you stand out?

Experience with outdoor electronics: IP ratings, vibration, and thermal management Experience with EMC/EMI compliance and ruggedization for field use Proven experience bringing hardware subsystems from prototype to production

What we offer

The opportunity to work with a cutting edge Robotics AI startup The ability to solve real world problems and make a difference that counts A culture of openness where a lot of focus is laid on professional development and growth A great office space at Indiranagar with a location that cannot get any more prime

If you think we could use your super-powers as we attempt to create our mark, we'd love to hear from you. This would be a great career move and an enriching learning experience for you.

Come be a part of our growth story!
