Founding Robot Learning Research Lead

About Origin

Origin is building Physical AI for the built world - starting with autonomous robots for Interior Construction. We are building Construction Action Models which allows our modular robots to learn, adapt and work in unstructured construction job site.

Our robots are already deployed on live sites in New York City, helping accelerate schedules for large-scale commercial projects while improving safety and predictability on the job site. Backed by Tier-1 investors, Origin is working to close the gap between America’s surging demand for housing, data centers, and manufacturing infrastructure, and the construction industry’s growing labor shortage.

The Role

Our system runs a Multi Agent Action Expert architecture: classical precision algorithms orchestrated alongside learned policies. The job is systematically expanding the learned components while keeping the system production-safe. You own the full lifecycle of learned components on OG-1: from data collection and model training through edge deployment on Jetson AGX Orin. Every research project will have a deployment milestone. This is not a lab position.

What you will own?

• Define the technical roadmap for Robot Learning and Embodied AI.
• Build and deploy learned policies for real-world mobile manipulation and contact-rich task
