Description

As a Mechanical Engineer – Robotic Enclosure & Harnessing Design Apprentice at Origin (formerly 10xConstruction), you will be responsible for designing the “body” of the robot. You will protect the robot’s electronics by designing a high-performance, aesthetically-conscious enclosure system that can withstand harsh construction environments. This role sits at the intersection of industrial design, thermal management, and electromechanical integration, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to a revolutionary product from the ground up. Key Responsibilities - Robotic Enclosure Design Design robust enclosures and control panels for electronic components, ensuring serviceability and ease of access. Lead mechanical design for Ingress Protection (IP rating) against dust, water, and debris. Design vibration mounting and isolation systems to protect sensitive electronics. Design for mobile robot requirements including sensor mounting, EMI/EMC shielding, and thermal management. Thermal Management Conduct thermal analysis (CFD) and design active/passive cooling solutions (heat sinks, fans, etc.) to ensure component performance in extreme temperatures. Wire Harness & Cable Management (Key Deliverable) Design and route major wire harnesses and cable management systems for reliability and serviceability. Plan integration of all electrical subsystems including: High-power systems (actuators). Logic/network systems (compute). Sensitive systems (sensors). Create detailed harness documentation including routing diagrams and manufacturing specifications. Ensure grounding, earthing, and EMI/EMC shielding strategies are incorporated into mechanical design. Systems Engineering & Verification & Validation (V&V) Develop engineering requirements and V&V protocols for thermal performance, ingress protection, shock/vibration, and EMI/EMC. Conduct DFMEA and risk analysis for enclosure and harness designs. Maintain documentation related to enclosure compliance and testing. Prototyping & Testing Lead rapid prototyping of enclosures using 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and other methods. Conduct testing such as thermal tests, water ingress tests, and drop tests to validate designs. Graduates only. Relevant work experience: >6 months. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field. Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, etc.) and GD&T. Experience/exposure to enclosure design for IP ratings, thermal management (CFD), and vibration. Exposure to designing and documenting wire harnesses and cable management solutions. Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as sheet metal, injection molding, and 3D printing. Strong communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills. Preferred Qualifications Design portfolio showcasing relevant projects. Experience with regulatory compliance for enclosures (NEMA, UL, etc.). Hiring Note This is an Apprentice position. We are looking for Immediate Joiners (or candidates with minimal notice period). Why Join Origin? Work in a dynamic start-up environment at the forefront of robotics innovation. Contribute to technology that will transform the construction industry. Work alongside a passionate team committed to real-world impact. Get hands-on ownership and build systems that will ship into real environments.

Responsibilities

The apprentice will be responsible for designing the robotic enclosure system, focusing on robustness, aesthetics, and protection of electronics against harsh construction environments. Key tasks include designing enclosures, managing thermal performance, and designing/routing major wire harnesses and cable management systems.
