Job Description
**Robotics AI & Automation Vice President** | Coimbatore | Full-time | INR 21.4-64.3 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Artificial Intelligence for Robotics, under the Automation & Robotics vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Artificial Intelligence for Robotics
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core artificial intelligence for robotics activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Python/C++ regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**
- Python/C++

- Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
- Troubleshooting & Maintenance
- CAD for Automation
- SCADA Systems
- Diploma (Instrumentation)
- 10+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
- Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
- The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week.
- No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions.
- The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
- Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
- Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held.
- In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
- References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval.
- The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.
- Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
- The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
