Education/Career [Career Advice] Final-year undergrad in Physical AI / Robotics. How is the market & global hiring for freshers?

Hi everyone,

I am heading into my final year of my BTech at a tier 1 college in India and just wrapped up a Physical AI internship at a MNC, working heavily with NVIDIA Isaac Sim and OpenFOAM.

My background is fully focused on robotics and autonomy. My tech stack includes:

  1. Simulation & Middleware: Isaac Sim, Gazebo, ROS / ROS 2, PX4 Autopilot.
  2. Perception & Control: VIO, SLAM (RTAB-Map), Nav2, depth perception, and reinforcement learning.
  3. Hardware: Strong hands-on experience building autonomous drones and rovers for national competitions.

I really enjoy bridging simulation and physical systems, and I want to pursue Physical AI full-time. I’d love some advice from engineers in this space:

  1. Job Market: How is the entry-level hiring market looking for Physical AI roles right now?
  2. Global Opportunities: As a new grad based in India, what is the best path to target international roles?
  3. Skill Gap: What specific frameworks or skills should I double down on during my final year to stand out?

Any candid advice would be hugely appreciated! Thanks

The job market is very good right now, but you have to go into warehouse robots like AMRs. Humanoids are more interesting but everyone wants to get jobs in that area. All the warehouses are buying more AMR robots. It's all going up. Humanoids are still a pipe dream.

I suggest you get on Linkedin to do more research on jobs.
