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 an Embedded Software and Controls Engineer at Origin you will design and implement the control algorithms and foundational embedded software that give our robots their precision, reliability, and autonomy. This is a high-impact role offering the opportunity to build a groundbreaking product alongside a passionate, talent-dense team.
Key Responsibilities
Control System Architecture
- Contribute to the architecture and design of robust control systems for our mobile manipulator robots.
- Develop and implement control algorithms for precise navigation, motion control, and teleoperation modes.
- Ensure real-time performance and reliability of all control loops.
- Develop and tune low-latency, real-time control loops with strict timing guarantees.
Actuator & Motor Integration
- Develop software interfaces for CAN / EtherCAT based actuators and motor drives.
- Write and maintain drivers for motor controllers, servo motors, and stepper motors.
- Integrate and configure SBCs (Jetson Orin, Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi) as embedded compute nodes within the robot platform.
Embedded Compute & Firmware
- Develop, optimize, and maintain low-level firmware and drivers for real-time performance and productive hardware interaction.
- Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers for low-level interfacing with sensors and actuators.
- Implement and debug com
