Employer description & source details
Origin Autonomy is looking for an early-career engineer to join our platform team as an apprentice. You'll work alongside senior engineers on embedded Linux systems, networking, robotic middleware, and cloud-connected services that keep our robots running on live construction sites. This role is built for someone with strong fundamentals and a real hunger to learn. We care more about how you think and how quickly you pick things up than about how many tools you've used. Help build and debug robot boot-up sequences and service orchestration, learning how to make system bring-up reliable and deterministic. Configure and troubleshoot Linux networking (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, iptables) for robot-to-cloud and inter-robot communication, under the guidance of senior engineers. Build, run, and maintain Docker containers for robot and cloud deployments. Write bash and Python scripts for fleet diagnostics, log collection, and routine system tasks. Work with the robotics, perception, and application teams to debug integration issues on real hardware. Follow team Git workflows and participate actively in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback. Document what you build and learn so the rest of the team benefits. All candidates must show solid, hands-on competency in every item below. Expect each one to be tested in the interview. 0–1 years of experience, with at least one internship or ~6 months of hands-on work experience in software or systems engineering (full-time roles, internships, or research lab work all count). Linux systems programming in C, including file I/O (read, write, seek, mmap), multi-threading (pthreads, mutexes, condition variables), and socket programming (TCP/UDP, select/poll/epoll). C++ (C++14/17), including OOP, STL containers and algorithms, RAII, and sm
