Robotics Software Instructor

Type: Part-time to begin with (contract/freelance). Can grow into a larger role (Lead Instructor across multiple centres) as we scale.

Start: Immediate / rolling

Future Kraft is a hands-on robotics learning program building real-world robotics skills for ages 916 and engineering learners through structured tracks, practical labs, and demo days.

Future Kraft is a portfolio initiative of The Robot Foundry a robotics-only venture studio focused on solving real-world service and labor-shortage problems through practical robotics innovation and talent development.

Were hiring a Robotics Software Instructor based in Mumbai who can teach across our tracks:

• Type 1 (912): beginner-friendly coding + sensors + simple robot behaviors
• Type 2 (1216): stronger coding + mission challenges + debugging discipline
• Engineering track: deeper software stack + integration + project mentoring

This is a teaching + facilitation role: youll guide learners through code, help them debug, and run high-energy practical sessions with clear measurable outcomes.

Depending on level:

• Programming fundamentals (block-based and/or Python/C/C++ as per track)
• Sensors logic actuators (motors/servos), basic electronics interfaces
• Robot behaviors: line following, obstacle avoidance, basic navigation logic
• Calibration, testing, troubleshooting, and structured debugging
• Project development: milestones, reliability, demo readiness, presentation/storytelling
• For engineering track: integration practices, basic tooling; ROS/OpenCV exposure is a plus (not mandatory)

• Deliver sessions using Future Kraft lesson plans (theory + labs)
• Run practicals with a structured flow: setup build test debug demo
• Support students during coding + bring-up + troubleshooting
• Track progress and provide learner feedback
• Prepare teams for demo day outcomes and reliability standards
• Coordinate on kit readiness, laptops, lab setup
• Improve curriculum assets (worksheets, checklists, code templates) over time

• Hands-on robotics programming experience (projects, work, research, clubs, or teaching)
• Strong fundamentals in Python/C/C++/Arduino-style development
• Strong knowledge or experience in ROS/ROS2 and / or OpenCV
• Comfortable with sensors/motors basics and debugging embedded/software issues
• Able to teach beginners and mentor advanced learners
• Reliable for weekend delivery; willing to travel within Mumbai (Powai/Andheri/Ghatkopar/Thane/Navi Mumbai)

• Prior teaching/mentoring (schools, maker spaces, college clubs/fests)
• Arduino / ESP32 / Raspberry Pi experience
• Basic Git workflow (engineering track)
• Experience running workshops/hackathons/demo days

• Kids + Engineering batches are a combination of weekday theory (evening) + weekend practicals
• Corporate bootcamps are only weekend

• Competitive per-session / per-hour payout based on track coverage + experience
• Performance incentives for batch outcomes, retention, and demo-day quality
• Clear path to full time employment once we start to establish processes, have consistent batches and start to scale
