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 sits. 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 a Deployment Intern, you will be Origin’s boots on the ground —the person who physically brings our robots onto construction sites, gets them running, and ensures they deliver a finish the GC and sub are proud of. You need to understand what a Level 4 wall looks like, why a butt joint is harder to finish than a tapered joint, and why a NYC winter unheated floor is a real operational problem for compound drying times. At the same time, you need to be sharp enough to set up a robot in the site, train Robot operators, and flag bugs in the working of the robot that an engineer can act on immediately. You are the face of Origin at the construction site.

This role is ideal for someone who grew up in construction — whether through formal education, a family trade background, or field experience — and is excited about what autonomous robotics can do for the industry.

Key Responsibilities
Robot Deployment & On-Site Operations
• Set up and deploy Origin robots on-site, completing full mechanical, electrical,
and software startup.
• Manage up to 3–5 robots simultaneously on a single floor, keeping machines
productive and minimizing idle time between zones.
• Monitor robot performance actively during shifts — watch for warning signs,
intervene when site conditions change (other trades, material staging,
temperature swings), and keep machines running.

• Perform basic on-site troubleshooting and maintenance: compound refills,
sanding pad replacement, vacuum system checks, and software restarts. Know
when a problem needs engineering and when it needs a process change.

Operator Training & Workforce Development
• Train drywall finishing workers to operate Origin’s robots — startup, operation,
safe shutdown, and basic daily maintenance.
• Build operator confidence through hands-on coaching, not just classroom
instruction. Work alongside them on the first shifts until they are independent
and comfortable.
• Translate technical robot behavior into language the trades understand. A
drywall finisher does not think in terms of RPM and telemetry — they think in
terms of coat quality, drying time, and schedule. Bridge that gap.
• Recognize and respect the craft knowledge drywall finishing workers bring.
Combine their site experience with your robot knowledge to get the best
results.
• Update operator field guides and site setup checklists based on lessons
learned, and feed improvements back to the Origin operations team.

Documentation & Field Reporting
• Produce a clear daily field report for each deployment: zones completed, finish
quality outcome, any issues encountered and how they were resolved.
• When the robot experiences a failure you cannot resolve on-site, document it
precisely — what happened, under what conditions, what the wall looks like — so
engineering can act on it.
• Keep a site log that can serve as a project record for the GC and drywall sub,
including square footage completed per day, finish levels delivered, and QA
sign-off status.
