Robotics Software Apprentice

About Origin

Origin (previously 10xConstruction) is building general-purpose autonomous robots for US construction to tackle rising costs, safety risks, and labour shortages. Our modular, multi-trade platform combines purpose-built hardware with real-time site intelligence to navigate complex environments and execute tasks with precision. Trained in high-fidelity simulation and already deployed on live sites, our robots deliver 5x faster execution, 250%+ margin expansion, and significant cost savings. Join India’s most talent-dense robotics team consisting of individuals from IITs, Stanford, UCLA, etc.

About the role

As a Perception Engineering Intern / Apprentice at Origin (Formerly 10xConstruction), you will help our autonomous drywall-finishing robots "see" the job-site. You'll design and deploy perception pipelines—camera + LiDAR fusion, deep-learning vision models, and point-cloud geometry—to give the robot the awareness it needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the design and implementation of motion planning and trajectory systems for robotic construction equipment.
• Contribute to the development of control systems for autonomous construction robots.
• Assist in building and maintaining simulation environments for system validation using tools like Gazebo, RViz, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim.
• Implement and test sensor fusion algorithms for improved robot perception and decision-making.
• Gain experience with ROS2 and contribute to the development of robot software modules.
• Explore and experiment with advanced algorithms for robot navigation and control.
• Collaborate with other engineers to integrate software components into robotic platforms.
• Contribute to the development of technical documentation and reports.
