Robotics Autonomy Intern

Location: On-site in Singapore, Central Singapore, for the full internship term; full-time availability required, with 6 months preferred.

Company

hirify.global builds autonomous commercial cleaning robots.

What you will do

• Build and automate a simulation regression suite for the ROS 2 autonomy stack to run on every release candidate.
• Design and run regression tests on physical robots, reporting mission success rate, interventions, collisions, and other metrics.
• Convert real-world failures from rosbags and field logs into reproducible simulation test cases.
• Own one autonomy feature improvement across design documentation, simulation validation, and real-robot release.
• Debug issues across the autonomy stack on physical robots with autonomy and field engineers.
• Document the testing pipeline and feature so they can be maintained after the internship.

Requirements

• Currently studying for a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, EEE, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field; the internship must be school-approved.
• Hands-on ROS or ROS 2 experience with physical robot hardware using C++ or Python.
• Working knowledge of at least one of localisation and mapping, path planning, state estimation, or control.
• Comfortable working with Linux and Git.
• Experience debugging with rosbags, RViz, and logs.
• Available full-time and on-site in Singapore for the full internship term.

Nice to have

• Experience with Nav2, SLAM Toolbox or Cartographer, Gazebo or Isaac Sim, CI or test automation, or robotics competitions.

Culture & Benefits

• Work directly with autonomy and field engineers on physical commercial cleaning robots.
• Internship duration of 6 months is preferred.
