About Origin

Origin 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, and more.

About the Role

We are hiring a Lead Platform Software Engineer to own the foundational systems our autonomous construction robots run on. You will build and maintain the embedded Linux platform, networking stack, boot and orchestration sequences, and the CI/CD infrastructure that ships software to robots in the field.

This is a hands-on leadership role — you will lead a small platform team while remaining deeply technical and writing code daily. High ownership and direct impact on robot reliability.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain embedded Linux images using Buildroot / Yocto for robot compute platforms.
  • Design and implement robot boot-up sequences and service orchestration to ensure reliable, deterministic system bring-up.
  • Configure and manage Linux networking — TCP/IP stack, HTTP, iptables, ARP, DHCP, DNS —for robot-to-cloud and inter-robot communication.
  • Own CI/CD pipelines using ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, and containerized workflows to ship software to robots.
  • Manage Docker-based deployment and runtime environments on robot and cloud infrastruc ture.
  • Write and maintain system administration tooling and bash scripts for fleet management and diagnostics.
  • Collaborate closely with robotics, perception, and application teams to integrate platform capabilities.
  • Establish and enforce best practices around Git workflows, branching strategies, and code review.
  • Lead and mentor a small platform engineering team — set technical direction, conduct code reviews, and drive execution.
