Description

As the Robotic Embedded Hardware & Power Engineer Apprentice at Origin, you will be a driving force in revolutionizing the construction industry through robotics. You will contribute to the design, development, integration, and certification of the core electrical architecture and power systems for our cutting-edge AI-powered robots. This is a unique opportunity to join a founding team environment, where you will not only help build a ground-breaking product but also help shape the culture and direction of a rapidly growing company. Key Responsibilities Electrical Architecture & Design Assist in the architecture and design of the robot's electrical system, including PCB design and wire harness development. Design and develop custom hardware solutions and PCBs (using tools like Altium, Eagle) to interface with and control various robotic components. Optimize hardware designs for performance, power efficiency, and reliability in challenging construction conditions. Power Systems Development Architect, design, and integrate robust power systems, including battery management (BMS), high-power inverters, and charging systems. Ensure power systems meet the high-demand, all-day operational needs of construction robots. Develop and implement safety circuitry and protocols compliant with industry standards. Rapid Prototyping & Testing Champion a rapid prototyping approach, leveraging off-the-shelf modules and self- soldered PCBs to accelerate development. Develop and execute "bring-up scripts" and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches for rigorous validation. Diagnose and resolve hardware, EMI/EMC, and power-related issues. Collaboration & Manufacturing Work closely with mechanical and software teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware, power, and control systems. Manage component sourcing and vendor relationships for electrical components. Collaborate with contract manufacturers (CMs) for PCB and wire harness assembly, ensuring quality control. Education & Experience Education: Recent Graduate (Master's or Bachelor's) in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. Experience: Must have >6 months of relevant work experience (internships, co-ops, or project work included). Availability: We are looking for immediate joiners. Technical Skills Proficiency in PCB design software (Altium, Eagle) and schematic capture. Deep understanding of power electronics, battery management systems, and high- power DC/AC systems. Strong hands-on skills in prototyping, soldering, and debugging complex electrical systems. Strong understanding of communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, I2C, SPI). Soft Skills Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your contributions will have a direct impact. Preferred Qualifications Candidates with a portfolio of successful embedded hardware and power system projects. Experience in robotics, automotive (EV), or construction automation industries. Familiarity with regulatory approval processes (e.g., UL, CE, FCC) and high-voltage safety procedures. Why Join Origin? Gain experience in a dynamic start-up environment at the forefront of robotics innovation. Work alongside a talented and passionate team committed to making a real-world impact. Lead the development of core hardware and power systems for AI-powered robots that will revolutionize the construction industry.

Responsibilities
