Apprentice - Robotics Experimentation
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
Robotic drywall finishing is a hard, unsolved problem, and progress depends on how many good experiments we can run. As an apprentice, you will spend most of your time on the robot: setting up trials, running DOEs on the spraying and sanding process, and turning results into findings that engineering decisions can rest on.
Because you will run the same protocols again and again, you will see better than anyone where the manual effort goes. Your second job is to measure that effort and tell us, with numbers, what to automate next, and to build the simpler automations yourself.
The work is deliberately interdisciplinary: robot, sensors, wiring, scripts and experimental method in the same week. If you think like an experimentalist and are comfo
