About this role
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. Requirements 1. Technical Skills - Proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modeling and 2D engineering drawings) is essential. - Strong hands-on ability: Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and basic workshop equipment. • Logical thinking for troubleshooting mechanical and basic electrical systems. • Note: Programming or software development skills are a bonus, but NOT a core requirement. 2. Core Soft Skills (Critical) • Work Attitude: A "can-do" spirit; resilient and willing to solve hardware issues in various environments (lab or outdoors). • Learning Ability: A fast learner who can quickly grasp mechanical assembly techniques and safety protocols. • Communication & Coordination: Clear and proactive communication; ability to coordinate effectively with engineering and operations teams. • Meticulousness: High attention to detail to ensure all mechanical and electrical connections meet safety standards. Why Join Us? • Practical Mentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers in a fast-paced, real-world startup. • Problem-Solving Experience: Gain unique experience in diagnosing and fixing complex robotic systems. • End-to-End Exposure: See your structural optimizations and fixes implemented and tested on real robots within days.
