Origin is a physical AI and construction robotics company developing general-purpose autonomous robots for interior construction. Its flagship OG-1 robot combines modular hardware with Origin's Construction Action Model to perform wall-finishing workflows such as applying compound, sanding and priming while adapting to changing job-site conditions. Origin is developing the same platform for additional interior trades including drywall installation, taping, drilling and conduit work. The company has deployed robots on live construction sites in the United States and Europe and works with contractors across commercial buildings, apartments, data centers, hotels and warehouses.
Origin offers candidates hands-on work at the intersection of robotics, AI, embedded systems, computer vision, controls, hardware and construction. Its robots are already being deployed on live job sites, so engineering teams can work on real-world autonomy rather than laboratory-only prototypes. The company announced $20 million in funding in October 2026 and is expanding its fleet and international pilots. Current roles span robotics, AI, embedded software, mechanical engineering, manufacturing and deployment, with opportunities to build systems from low-level firmware and ROS 2 through perception, backend services and operator applications.
