Embedded Systems 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 the Lead Embedded Systems Engineer for Robotic Power Tools, you will define the architecture that turns off-the-shelf construction equipment (drywall sanders, spray guns, grinders) into deterministic, data-driven robotic end-effectors. You will lead the hardware hacking, reverse-engineering, custom PCB design, and RTOS firmware development to seamlessly integrate these high-power tools with our main robot arm. You will set the standard for modularity, safety, and reliability across all end-of-arm tooling.
Key Responsibilities
Tool System Architecture & Strategy:
- Define the global electrical and firmware architecture for all robotic end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT), ensuring hot-swappable modularity.
