The Role

We are looking for an early-career Software Engineer to join our Bengaluru robotics team and own day-to-day debugging, bring-up, and reliability for InstaCore our custom multi-camera / sensor hardware used in physical AI data collection. This role sits at the intersection of software and hardware: you will primarily write and reason about software (scripts, diagnostics, firmware interfaces, calibration tooling), while being comfortable opening a device, tracing a failure from log sensor board, and driving it to a fix.

This is an AI-first engineering role. A large share of the work writing diagnostics, parsing logs, drafting RCA notes, exploring unfamiliar codebases, and spinning up small tools can be accelerated dramatically with contemporary coding agents. We strongly prefer people who already use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex heavily in their day-to-day work, and who treat AI as a default collaborator rather than an occasional shortcut.

Who You Are:
- An early-career engineer, from a recent graduate up to ~2 years of experience,



with a Bachelor s (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Electrical / Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or a related engineering field.
- AI-first by default. You regularly use coding agents and AI IDEs (especially Cursor, Claude Code, and/or Codex) to write, debug, and ship faster. You know how to prompt well, verify outputs, and keep ownership of correctness you don t blindly paste.
- Software-first, systems-curious. You are strongest writing and debugging code (Python and/or C/C++), and you enjoy chasing bugs through software into the physical world.
- A hands-on debugger. You are comfortable with Linux shells, reading logs, flashing firmware, checking cables/power, and using basic lab tools (multimeter, serial console) when software alone isn t enough.
- Comfortable with embedded and robotics concepts. Exposure to microcontrollers (e.g. ESP32, STM32), cameras/sensors, UART/I2C/SPI/CAN, or ROS is a plus curiosity an
