Autonomy Engineer Intern: Real-World Testing & Simulation

LionsBot International; Singapore; On-site; SGD 17,000 - 28,000; Full time

Job summary

LionsBot International is offering a six-month internship in Singapore to help make autonomous cleaning robots more reliable in the real world. You will build and automate a simulation regression suite for the ROS 2 autonomy stack and run tests on every release candidate, reporting metrics.

You will own one autonomy feature improvement—from design through simulation validation to a real-robot release—working with field engineers to debug issues and document the pipeline for ongoing maintenance.

Qualifications

• Pursuing Bachelor's or Master's in robotics or related field.
• Hands-on ROS/ROS 2 experience on hardware.
• Knowledge of localisation, mapping, path planning, state estimation, or control.
• Proficient with Linux, Git; able to debug using rosbags, RViz, and logs.
• Available full-time on-site in Singapore for a 6-month internship.
• Nice to have: Nav2, SLAM Toolbox, Gazebo/Isaac Sim, CI/test automation.

Responsibilities

• Build and automate a simulation regression suite for the ROS 2 autonomy stack.
• Design and run real-robot regression tests and report metrics (mission success, interventions, collisions).
• Turn real-world failures from rosbags and field logs into reproducible simulation tests.
• Own one autonomy feature improvement (perception, localisation, planning or control) from design to release.
• Debug issues across the stack on physical robots with autonomy and field engineers.
• Document the pipeline and the feature so the team can run and maintain them after the internship.
