Description

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 As a Senior Mechanical Engineer - Enclosures and Harness, you will take full ownership of major protective subsystems and critical electrical routing networks within the robot. You will be responsible for ensuring that the main compute chassis and high-power distribution lines survive extreme vibrations, thermal loads, and debris. You are expected to independently solve difficult packaging constraints, run complex CFD simulations, and design manufacturing-ready harness documentation. Key Responsibilities Subsystem Enclosure Design: Design robust, sealed enclosures and control panels for sensitive electronics. Implement custom vibration mounting and isolation systems to protect IMUs, cameras, and compute boards. Select appropriate gasketing, sealing materials, and connectors to guarantee IP65+ protection against construction dust and water. Complex Harnessing & Routing: Systematically route complex wire harnesses in 3D CAD, managing bend radii, strain relief, and dynamic flex loops for moving robot joints. Create highly detailed 2D harness manufacturing drawings (nailboards), specifying pin-outs, wire gauges, shielding, and heavy-duty connectors (e.g., Deutsch, Amphenol). Thermal Management & V&V: Conduct detailed thermal analysis (CFD) on individual enclosures, optimizing heat sink geometries and fan placements. Own the DFMEA for your specific enclosures and harnesses. Develop and execute aggressive physical testing (water ingress tests, thermal chamber logging, shake-table testing). Prototyping & Mentorship: Champion rapid prototyping of sheet metal enclosures and 3D printed housings to physically validate packaging. Mentor junior engineers in CAD best practices, connector selection, and GD&T. Required Qualifications and Skills Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics. 4-8 years of professional experience in mechanical packaging and wire harness design. Expert proficiency in CAD (Onshape or Equivalent), including 3D electrical routing tools. Strong background in thermal design and applied CFD. Deep understanding of grounding, earthing, and EMI shielding at the mechanical level. Hands-on experience building and testing complex electromechanical assemblies. Preferred Experiences Experience designing hardware for harsh outdoor environments or military standards (MIL-STD). Experience with ECAD/MCAD integration. 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.
