About Rockwell Automation India Centre

Rockwell Automation's India Centre in Pune is a growing GCC focused on smart manufacturing software — one of the fastest-growing segments in industrial technology as manufacturers globally embrace Industry 4.0 concepts. Established in 2014, the centre has grown to approximately 1,800 engineers who work on Rockwell's FactoryTalk software suite — a family of industrial applications covering design, operations, analytics, and asset management for manufacturing facilities used by thousands of manufacturers globally across automotive, food and beverage, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical industries.

The current engineering focus at Rockwell India is the cloud-native transformation of FactoryTalk, moving core industrial software capabilities from on-premise deployments to cloud and edge computing architectures. This significant architectural shift enables remote monitoring, over-the-air software updates, and cloud-scale analytics for manufacturing data. The MES engineering team manages production orders, quality data, and operational compliance for manufacturing clients — a domain requiring both software engineering skill and deep manufacturing process knowledge.

Rockwell India targets 2,500 employees by 2027, with growth in cloud software engineering, manufacturing analytics, and MES product development. The Magarpatta City SEZ campus provides a professional environment in Pune's established IT corridor, and Rockwell's niche focus on smart manufacturing software creates a distinctive employer proposition for engineers interested in industrial technology applications.
