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

The Technical Sourcing Engineer will own global component sourcing, vendor qualification, and manufacturing coordination across mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems. This role acts as the technical bridge between Engineering, Contract Manufacturers, and Suppliers to ensure production readiness, quality alignment, and cost optimization. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Source mechanical components (sheet metal, CNC parts, fabricated structures) and electrical/electronics components (motors, drivers, PCBs, connectors, harnesses, sensors, controllers, batteries).
  • Identify, evaluate, and negotiate with global suppliers across India, China, and other sourcing regions.
  • Build and maintain an Approved Vendor List (AVL) with 3–5 qualified vendors per critical BOM line item.
  • Drive BOM standardization and technical alignment with engineering before RFQ release.
  • Conduct vendor audits and capability assessments; validate real manufacturing capability vs claims.
  • Coordinate with contract manufacturers for EMS, assembly, testing, and pilot manufacturing readiness.
  • Align SOPs, quality checks, and manufacturing documentation between Origin and suppliers.
  • Drive BOM cost optimization and lead-time reduction through structured RFQ and alternate sourcing.
  • Maintain procurement trackers, inventory visibility, and supply chain risk dashboards.
  • Support long-term vendor development for upcoming robot versions and scale-up programs.
