Hardware Intern — Robotics & AI

Role and hardware

What you will do

• Build, assemble, test, and troubleshoot mechanical and electrical systems to maintain uptime for the Instacore fleet.
• Prototype, integrate, and stress-test hardware improvements to the rig, including cameras, IMUs, wiring, mounts, and power systems.
• Work hands-on with sensors, actuators, controllers, soldering, and 3D printers in the workshop.
• Travel to set up hardware hubs across India and APAC and deploy equipment in the field.
• Trace and fix faults through hands-on testing, then document findings to improve fleet reliability.
• Maintain lab tools, components, test setups, and build documentation.

Candidate requirements

• Be pursuing or have recently completed a degree or diploma in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electronics, Electrical, Robotics, or a related field.
• Have hands-on experience with IoT systems, cameras, sensors, Raspberry Pi, 3D printing, and soldering.
• Have working knowledge of motors, sensors, actuators, electronics, mechanical systems, and wiring.
• Be willing to travel across India and APAC for deployments.
• Have demonstrated leadership by leading a team or project in a robotics or engineering competition or similar project, with ownership from planning through execution.
• Have experience building for Robocon, Formula Student/FSAE, BAJA, e-Yantra, or similar competitions, especially a vehicle or robot required to perform on demand.

About the team

Why the internship is different

• The role provides exposure to a real hardware fleet, Physical AI data collection, and the hardware lifecycle from workshop builds to field deployments.
• Interns work with a small team and see hardware ideas move into use.

Application materials

• The employer invites candidates to share photos, videos, or repositories of competition machines and projects with their application.
