AMR Deployment Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a AMR Deployment Engineer. The engineer is responsible for deploying, configuring, integrating, validating, and commissioning mobile robots (AMRs/AGVs) in a customer facility. They bridge the gap between the robot system (hardware + software) and the operational environment, ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient operation.

This role would require travelling upto 90% of time.

Key Responsibilities

Site Assessment & Preparation

-

- Identify environmental constraints such as space requirements, movement blockers etc

- Recommend and help implement necessary site modifications (markings, safety zones, access point configuration).

Deployment & Integration

- Install and configure Autonomous Mobile Robots at customer sites.

- Calibrate and optimize navigation/control.

- Perform tests to ensure safety and performance.

- Setup wireless network and test communication between Robots in the environment

- Configure networking, localization anchors/markers, AMR Maps and Operations 

**Testing, Validation & Commissioning**

- Develop and execute deployment test plans: functional, performance, safety, edge-case scenarios, payload handling & safety stops

- Tune navigation and control parameters for the specific environment

- Validate end-to-end workflows (e.g., order pick transport drop) and failover/recovery behaviors.

- Perform safety validation (emergency stop, zone enforcement, human-robot interaction limits).

Training & Handover

- Train operators/maintenance staff on daily operation, basic troubleshooting, and safety procedures.

- Produce and deliver deployment documentation: site-specific configuration, SOPs, failure modes, recovery steps.

Support & Continuous Improvement

-

- Feed back insights to engineering/R&D for reliability improvements.

- Perform root-cause analysis on field issues and implement corrective actions.

Required Skills & Experience

-

- Familiarity with ROS1

- Understanding of Navigation/localization (SLAM, costmaps, sensor fusion).

- Basic networking (IP, subnets, Wi-Fi reliability, VPNs) and system integration (MQTT, OPC-UA, etc.).

- Experience with sensors commonly used on AMRs: LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, encoders.

- Linux proficiency (shell, scripting, diagnostics).

- Ability to read and validate electrical/mechanical interfaces (e.g., verifying power, encoder signals, communication buses like CAN/Ethernet).

- Strong troubleshooting methodology (logs, metrics, repeatable reproduction of issues).

- Good communication skills for cross-functional coordination and customer-facing work.

Nice-to-Have

-

- Exposure to Safety Sensor Configuration and Safety Standards (SICK Sensors).

- Experience with warehouse/facility automation systems (WMS, conveyor control).

- Basic programming (Python/C++) for small integration tweaks or diagnostics scripts.

- Cloud/fleet management dashboards familiarity.

- Data collection and simple analytics (uptime, mean time between interventions).
