Your Mission This position is responsible for developing and optimizing control strategies for robotic automation systems and actuation applications. The role involves designing and implementing real-time control algorithms for pick-and-place and pick-and-assemble applications, integrating sensors and actuators, and ensuring system stability and precision for industrial robotic applications. What To Expect Design and develop advanced control systems for robotic manipulators used in pick-and-place and assembly applications. Select, integrate, and calibrate various sensors, controllers, and actuators for effective robotic manipulation. Design sensor-driven feedback control loops, integrating force/torque sensors and vision systems for adaptive control. Tune and optimize control systems for fast, smooth, and precise operations. Develop fault detection and error recovery mechanisms to enhance the robustness of pick-and-place performance. Study and implement pick-and-place and pick-and-assemble control strategies and algorithms. Conduct robot teaching and robotic manipulator simulations for new applications and deployments. Program robots using industrial robot programming languages (e.g., Yaskawa, ABB, KUKA) or general-purpose languages such as C/C#/C++, Python. Document technical reports, program codes, and setup manuals. What You'll Bring A Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering or a relevant discipline, with more than five years of industry experience. Strong understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, and control theories (e.g., PID, Model Predictive Control, Impedance Control). Proven ability to develop and deploy custom pick-and-place or pick-and-assemble applications. Hands-on experience with industrial robot arm controllers, sensor integration, and workcell setup. Experience using commercial pre-integrated solutions (e.g., Siemens SRP, ABB RobotStudio, Denso VPS). Ability to program microcontrollers and design basic electrical circuitry. Proficiency in programming industrial robots using manufacturer-specific languages or C/C#/C++, Python for control algorithm development. Experience with robot calibration techniques and sensor integration (e.g., vision, force/torque). Familiarity with ROS 1/2, Linux OS, and other real-time control frameworks or software tools. Any patents, publications, specialist certifications, or awards in robotics and automation are an added advantage.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
