AI Research Engineer
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 core member of the AI Research team you'll turn cutting-edge, vision-language and diffusion advances into robust real-time systems that see reason and act on dynamic construction sites.
Key Responsibilities
- Research & innovate diffusion-based generative models for photorealistic wall-surface simulation, defect synthesis and domain adaptation.
- Architect and train Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language Action Models (VLA) objectives that connect textual work orders, CAD plans and sensor data to pixel-level understanding.
- Lead development of auto-annotation pipelines (active learning, self-training, synthetic data) that scale to millions of fram
