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
Origin Autonomy is looking for a versatile, hands-on software engineer to join our growing team. You will work across embedded Linux systems, networking stacks, robotic middleware, and cloud-connected services. This role demands strong fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly — not just familiarity with buzzwords.
Responsibilities
•
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.
•
Manage Docker-based deployment and runtime environments on robot and cloud infrastructure.
•
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.
Requirements
All candidates must demonstrate solid, hands-on competency in every item listed below.
•
Linux systems programming in C
•
File I/O — read, write, seek, memory-mapped files
•
Multi-threading — pthreads, mutexes, condition variables, thread safety
•
Socket communication — TCP/UDP sockets, select/poll/epoll
•
Basic data structures & algorithms — stack, heap, queue, linked list
•
General comprehension ability — reading technical manuals, datasheets, and RFCs; searching documentation independently
•
Python scripting
•
Bash scripting
•
Git — CLI usage, branching, merging, rebasing, conflict resolution
Strong Advantage
Candidates with hands-on experience in the majority of the following areas will be strongly preferred.
•
C++ programming — C++17, OOP, templates, STL
•
Common network protocols — DHCP, ARP, TCP, UDP, DNS
•
Network configuration — routers, switches, VLANs, subnetting
•
Server–client application architecture — roles of back-end and front-end
•
P2P vs. centralised communication — DDS vs. MQTT, trade-offs and use cases
•
Database management — relational (SQL) vs. NoSQL, schema design, basic queries
•
Network security — checksums (CRC, MD5, SHA), public-key encryption, digital signatures
•
ROS2 framework — pub/sub, services, actions, lifecycle nodes, DDS transport
•
CMake build system — targets, find_package, CTest integration
•
Docker — writing Dockerfiles, docker-compose, remote image registry management
Benefits
•
Gain experience in a dynamic startup environment at the forefront of robotics and AI innovation.
•
Contribute to the development of technology that will revolutionize the construction industry.
•
Work alongside a talented and passionate team committed to making a real-world impact.
•
Learn from experienced professionals and gain valuable skills in robotics software engineering.
•
Gain practical experience in a real-world engineering environment.
•
Contribute to a project with the potential to make a significant impact on the construction industry.
