**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Mechanical

## Description

### About Origin

[Origin](https://origin.tech/) (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

We are seeking an Industrial Designer Intern to shape the physical identity of our autonomous construction robots. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, aesthetics, and usability — translating complex hardware systems into beautifully functional, durable, and serviceable machines.

Your work will define how our robots look, feel, and operate on the job site — ensuring that form, material, and ergonomics reflect the intelligence and reliability of what we’re building. 

### Key Responsibilities

-   Lead industrial design development for next-generation robotic systems, from early sketches to production-ready surfaces.
-   Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are both visually refined and mechanically feasible.
-   Develop modular enclosure systems and accessibility features (easy tool swaps, maintenance access, component protection).
-   Design for durability, repairability, and manufacturability using practical materials and industrial processes.
-   Own the visual design language of 10x robots — proportions, textures, color palettes, finishes, and branding placement.
-   Create high-quality renders, mockups, and physical prototypes for design reviews and investor/demo presentations.
-   Work closely with the marketing and motion teams to ensure visual coherence between physical design and digital storytelling.

### Required Qualifications and Skills

-   Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or related field.
-   At least 1 year of experience designing hardware products — preferably in robotics, mobility, consumer electronics, or industrial equipment.
-   Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360) and rendering tools (KeyShot, Blender, or Unreal Engine).
-   Experience with DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and understanding of materials such as aluminum, composites, polymers, and coated steels.
-   Portfolio showcasing real-world prototypes or production designs that balance engineering practicality with strong aesthetic clarity.
-   Knowledge of ergonomics, human-machine interaction, and environmental durability (IP-rated enclosures, dust/water protection).
-   Strong communication and collaboration skills — ability to bridge engineering and design.

### Benefits 

-   Ownership of the end-to-end design language for a first-of-its-kind general-purpose construction robot.
-   Opportunity to build a design identity that will define a new category — autonomous robots in construction.
-   Hands-on experience shaping the visual storytelling of one of the most ambitious robotics companies in the world.
-   Opportunity to work directly with founders and the tech team.
