Location: Chennai

Employment Type: Full-time

Mandatory Primary Skills: C / C++ 11 and above, PLC, TwinCAT or EtherCAT.

About the Role:

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Senior Robot Control Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team developing cutting-edge surgical robotic systems . This role involves designing, implementing, and validating real-time motion control software using TwinCAT, PLC programming (Structured Text), and C++ . You will work closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to deliver high-performance, safety-critical motion functionality for precision surgical applications.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement real-time motion control software using Beckhoff TwinCAT 3, Structured Text, and C++.
  • Develop PLC logic for motor control, sensor integration, and actuator feedback.
  • Collaborate on control system architecture to meet safety, precision, and performance requirements for surgical robotic arms.
  • Integrate motion controllers, encoders, and servo drives into the system.
  • Participate in system bring-up, debugging, calibration, and tuning of servo systems.
  • Conduct software testing, documentation, and participate in formal reviews and validations for medical device regulatory compliance (e.g., IEC 62304).
  • Work with cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, QA, and clinical application experts.
  • Support development of safety-critical functions including emergency stop, limit switches, and fault handling logic.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum 3 to 10+ years of hands-on experience in motion control software development using:
  • Beckhoff TwinCAT 3
  • PLC programming (IEC 61131-3 Structured Text)
  • C++ (preferably in real-time or embedded systems)
  • Experience with servo motors, encoders, motion profiling, PID tuning.
  • Understanding of industrial fieldbuses such as EtherCAT.
  • Familiarity with real-time operating systems and deterministic control.
  • Strong debugging, documentation, and version control skills (e.g., Git).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to motor control algorithms (FOC, PID tuning, etc.).
  • Experience with real-time industrial automation systems or robotics platforms.
  • Familiarity with medical device standards such as IEC 60601 or ISO 13485 is a plus.
  • Background in safety-critical or medical systems development.

What You'll Gain:


• Opportunity to shape real-world solutions that impact lives through precision healthcare.


• Be part of a multidisciplinary and innovation-driven R&D team at the forefront of medical robotics.


• Work in a culture that promotes creativity, technical excellence, and continuous learning.
