About Us
We are a Singapore-based robotics startup developing innovative autonomous mobile robots for both indoor and outdoor environments. We are looking for a proactive, meticulous, and hands-on intern to join our hardware team. This role is ideal for students who are passionate about mechanical systems and enjoy the hands-on process of building, fixing, and optimizing robots.
Target Candidates
- Current University Undergraduates (Year 1-4) majoring in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering.
- Pre-University / Prospective University Students (e.g., A-Level/IB/Diploma graduates) seeking high-impact industry experience before starting their degree.
Key Responsibilities (Hands-on & Practical)
- Robotic Assembly & Integration: Physically build, assemble, and integrate robotic platforms, including mechanical structures, enclosures, and sensor mounts.
- Troubleshooting & Diagnostics: Identify and diagnose hardware malfunctions, electrical connectivity issues, and mechanical failures in both indoor and outdoor robots.
- Maintenance & Repair: Perform routine maintenance and hands-on repairs to ensure high operational uptime and robot reliability.
- Structural Optimization: Use SolidWorks to refine and optimize existing mechanical structures for better durability, weight distribution, or ease of assembly based on troubleshooting feedback.
- Prototyping & CAD: Design custom brackets, fixtures, or protective housings in SolidWorks and manage the transition from digital design to physical part.
- Wiring & Electrical Support: Handle internal cable management, basic soldering, and electrical component installation.
- Field Testing Support: Assist the team during deployment and test runs provide on-site technical support and immediate hardware fixes.
