Instawork is on a mission to create meaningful economic opportunities for skilled hourly professionals in communities around the globe. Our AI-powered labor marketplace helps local businesses scale, and enables global technology companies to push the frontiers of robotics and AI. Backed by world-class investors like Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock, Y Combinator, and others, we’re looking for exceptional talent to reimagine the way the world works. Instawork Robotics Labs (IRL India) · Bengaluru · Internship (Full-time, On-site) 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 we

Quality Control Intern – Hardware Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Instawork is on a mission to create meaningful economic opportunities for skilled hourly professionals in communities around the globe. Our AI-powered labor marketplace helps local businesses scale, and enables global technology companies to push the frontiers of robotics and AI. Backed by world-class investors like Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock, Y Combinator, and others, we're looking for exceptional talent to reimagine the way the world works. Role Overview The Quality Control Intern – Hardware is the checkpoint every recording rig passes through, in both directions. When rigs return from the field, you inspect their condition, run a functional check, and capture a short test recording that you review to confirm the cameras, footage, audio, and storage are all working. Before any rig goes back out, you give the final sign-off that it is field-ready. This is a small role with an outsized impact: a rig that leaves your desk in a bad state means a Field Officer travels to a business, records for hours, and returns with unusable or missing data — a full day lost, and sometimes a burned business relationship. Your job is to make sure that never happens. Precision, consistency, and discipline are the whole game here. What You'll Own Nothing goes to field without your approval; nothing comes back without your inspection and log. You are the last line of defense on rig quality before it reaches a business.
