Robotics & Hardware

Your robotics and hardware talent partner

Perception, firmware and controls engineers are a small world — and it’s one of the few niches we deliberately keep separate, because we work with real robotics companies. The labs, the teams, the people who’ve shipped hardware that works: already mapped.

How it works

Three steps, in your language.

01Tell us what you need

Perception, planning, controls or firmware? Which sensors, which platforms, which real-time constraints — and what the person will ship in their first year.

02Meet a shortlist

Recruiters with robotics placements behind them go to work the same day. Screened on shipped systems, with comp, notice and relocation confirmed.

03Make the hire

We run the process — including the on-site — and invoice the day they join.

Why 100Networks for Robotics & Hardware

Three things that change when specialists work the role.

A small world, already mapped

Specialists who know the robotics and hardware teams across Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad — and their alumni.

Screened on what shipped

Structured screens on real systems: sensors, latency, failure modes. A written case, not a CV.

Relocation and notice, handled

Hardware roles often mean moving cities. The recruiter stays on through the whole transition.

What we cover in Robotics & Hardware

The specifics, not the category.

Roles and stacks our recruiters in this domain work directly. If yours isn’t listed, it’s worth asking — the network is wider than the page.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We currently run robotics and hardware mandates across Southeast Asia — Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia — alongside our Indian searches, including project engineering, AMR quality and integration, and QC roles. Robotics is a small world regionally, and the recruiters working these mandates know it across borders rather than in one country.

Perception, controls, firmware and embedded hardware engineering, plus the roles around them that generalist recruiters miss — robotics project engineers, AMR and AGV quality and integration engineers, and hardware QC. Seniority runs from individual contributor to lead.

On what shipped, not on keywords. The structured screen covers real systems — which sensors, which platforms, what the real-time constraints were, how it failed and what fixed it — and produces a written case alongside the scorecard. Robotics is the one niche we deliberately keep separate, because the screen only works if the recruiter can read the answer.

The pool is a fraction of the size, the people in it are known to each other, and almost none of them are reading job ads. There is also a relocation question in most hardware roles that software searches do not have. Both are handled up front: comp, notice and relocation are confirmed in the screen, not discovered at offer stage.

8.33% of the hired person’s first-year salary — one month’s pay — invoiced on the day they join, with a 90-day replacement guarantee. No retainer, and no fee if an accepted candidate does not start.

Make hiring the thing you’re good at.

Seed, Series A to D, or enterprise — send us one hard role. We'll match it the same day, and you'll meet a shortlist in days. Pay only when they join.
