Description supplied by the original job listing.
TEAL designs and builds precision automation equipment for for Fortune 500 customers who demand world class throughput, repeatability, and reliability. We are a subsidiary of Titan Company Limited and a Tata Enterprise.
Our equipment is getting smarter. The next generation of our platforms integrates vision AI, real-time sensing, and adaptive control into the machines we build. The software layer is no longer a supporting function — it is how our products differentiate.
We are looking for a Head of Software Platforms to build and own that layer for electronics manufacturing. You will own the software architecture across our control, vision, and applied AI platforms, hire and lead a team of software and controls engineers, and ensure delivery keeps pace with hardware and process development.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will make architectural decisions, review code, and stay close to the engineering — while building the practices and team that allow TEAL's software capability to scale. You will be working with leading tech companies who are our manufacturing customers.
What You Will Own
Software architecture across machine control, vision AI, and applied AI platforms — modular, testable, built to evolve- you will be creating and shaping product platforms.
Real-time machine control software: motion control, HMI, data acquisition, process control, diagnostics · Integration with industrial protocols: EtherCAT, OPC-UA, Profinet, and sensor/actuator interfaces · Vision AI inference pipeline and camera integration layer (working alongside AI/ML Research Lead who owns model architecture)
Robotics and vision integration in high tech manufacturing applications
AI deployment infrastructure: TensorRT, ONNX, model versioning, edge inference for <50ms production targets - we are early stage, so you get to shape use cases around physical AI implementation.
Software engineering culture: Git, CI/CD, code review, structured testing for control software and AI pipelines · Delivery commitments across concurrent programmes — schedule, quality, and customer commissioning readiness
Hiring and developing a team to a scalable organisation
What We Are Looking For
10+ years in software development; 5+ years in a leadership or technical lead role
Hands-on experience building software with hardware integration — motion control, machine vision, PC-based controls OR hands on experience of building platforms for hardware applications in relevant industry segements.
Track record of building software teams and engineering practices from early stages, not just inheriting them. Startup experiences are greatly valued.
Proficiency in C#, Python, C++. Familiarity with PC-based automation frameworks or PLC mechanisms such as with TwinCAT, Beckhoff, or equivalent.
Familiarity with AI/ML deployment: TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, edge inference optimisation. You don't train models — you own the pipeline that deploys them · Understanding of software safety standards (IEC 62061, ISO 13849) in a machine context
Exposure to electronics, semiconductor, battery, or manufacturing is a plus. Adjacent high-precision industries welcome
· Those with Startup or high-growth product platform experiences are strongly encouraged to apply
Why This Role
· The software platform is being built now — you make the foundational decisions · Your software runs in high tech manufacturing environments in Fortune 500 factories; you get to build use cases for physical AI applications.
Real engineering problems: the software has to work on a machine, under manufacturing constraints, in front of a customer · Hosur, Tamil Nadu — near Bangalore, close to India's electronics manufacturing growth corridor
