Instawork Robotics Labs (IRL India) · Bengaluru · Internship (Full-time, In office)
Build the hardware that teaches robots about the real world Robots learn from data — and the best data comes from the real world, captured at scale. At IRL India, we’re building Instacore, our proprietary 5-camera + IMU wearable capture rig that records rich, egocentric video of humans doing real tasks in real environments. Hundreds of these units run across India every day, feeding the training pipelines of frontier Physical AI models.
Your job: keep this fleet alive, fast, and growing.



If you’ve spent nights in a workshop before a Robocon run, wrenched on a Formula Student or BAJA vehicle, or built anything that had to actually work under pressure — this role was designed for you.
What you’ll do
Own uptime for the Instacore fleet. Build, assemble, test, and troubleshoot the mechanical and electrical systems that keep hundreds of units capturing data daily.
Ship hardware iterations fast. Work directly with our robotics team to prototype, integrate, and stress-test improvements to the rig — cameras, IMUs, wiring, mounts, power
Get your hands dirty. Sensors, actuators, controllers, soldering irons, 3D printers — this is a workshop role, not a slideware role.
Travel and deploy. Set up hardware hubs across India and APAC. You’ll see your work running in the field, not just on a bench.
Debug like a detective. Trace faults through hands-on testing, fix them, and document what you learned so the fleet gets more reliable every wee
