Overview
Automation & Robotics Engineer (Connectivity) 8 –9 YEARS · 1 FTE · BANGALORE
- Integrates and connects industrial machines, equipment and IoT devices — OPC-UA, MQTT, Kepware, OPC Router, Node-RED
- Deploys the Unified Namespace (UNS) stack — HiveMQ, Sparkplug, HighByte — and configures industrial data flows
- Manages real-time and batch data collection for production monitoring
- Designs and deploys supervision dashboards (Grafana, Ignition) for equipment and factory performance
- Supports operator training and troubleshooting of connected assets
Qualifications
Domain: Shopfloor automation, machine integration, SCADA / HMI, manufacturing execution.
Essential skills
Keywords to find in a CV
- Tech (priority): OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, Node-RED, Kepware, OPC Router, HighByte, HiveMQ, PLC / SCADA, Ignition, Grafana, Modbus / Profinet, edge connectivity, industrial protocols.
Desired skills
Experience How to find and screen
- Prioritize real shopfloor / PLC / SCADA time over pure IT — this role lives on the floor.
- Core stack: OPC UA + MQTT + Kepware / Ignition; probe depth on at least two of these.
- Ask them to explain a UNS, or how they'd normalize data from three different machine brands.
- Lower grade (GG2.2) so slightly less experience is fine — hands-on connectivity is non-negotiable.
Benefits
The gist: The OT-side hands. Gets the machines talking, gets the data off the floor, and builds the supervision dashboards. The most shopfloor-heavy role on the pod.
