Job Description
## Robotics AI Program Manager
**Department:** Artificial Intelligence for Robotics | **Industry:** Automation & Robotics
**Location:** Nagpur | **Job Type:** Hybrid | **CTC:** INR 23.9-72.8 LPA
### Role Overview
An opening exists for a Robotics AI Program Manager to join the Automation & Robotics vertical, focused on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics. The role is positioned at the senior level and reports into the broader Artificial Intelligence for Robotics charter.
### Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of tasks related to artificial intelligence for robotics.
- Apply working knowledge of Machine Vision and Artificial Intelligence for Robotics to daily execution.
- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders within Automation & Robotics.
- Maintain documentation and reporting as required by the team lead.
- Flag risks and blockers early rather than at review checkpoints.
### Requirements
- Diploma (Instrumentation) or equivalent qualification.
- 9 years of relevant experience (senior level).
- Working proficiency in: Machine Vision, Artificial Intelligence for Robotics, PLC Programming, CAD for Automation, Control Systems Design, Python/C++, Troubleshooting & Maintenance, Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
### Additional Notes
The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. 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. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. 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. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
