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.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Perception Engineer at Origin (Formerly 10xconstruction), you will help our autonomous drywall-finishing robots \"see\" the job-site. You'll design and deploy perception pipelines-camera + LiDAR fusion, deep-learning vision models, and point-cloud geometry-to give the robot the awareness it needs.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop and deploy 3D perception components for geometric scene understanding using depth sensors, LiDAR, and RGB cameras. \nProcess and interpret spatial data (point clouds, depth maps, image streams) for environment modeling and task planning. \nTrain and integrate deep-learning models for 3D semantic understanding and quality evaluation. \nDesign robust sensor fusion strategies that combine visual, inertial, and spatial data for scene reconstruction and robot localization. \nBenchmark and optimize perception models for deployment on edge compute platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) using tools like TensorRT or ONNX. \nCollect and curate high-quality datasets (real and synthetic); automate training pipelines and experiment tracking. \nPerform and validate sensor calibration (camera, LiDAR, IMU) and develop checks to maintain calibration quality over time\nCollaborate across robotics teams (manipulation, navigation, cloud) to deliver production-ready perception stacks for autonomous operation in dynamic construction environments.\nRequirements\nQualifications & Skills\nSolid grasp of linear algebra, probability and geometry; coursework or projects in CV or robotics perception.\nProficient in Python 3.x and C++17/20; comfortable with git and CI workflows.\nExperience with ROS 2 (rclcpp / rclpy) and custom message / launch setups.\nFamiliarity with deep-learning vision (PyTorch or TensorFlow)-classification, detection or segmentation.\nHands-on work with point-cloud processing ; know when to apply voxel grids, KD-trees, RANSAC or ICP.\nExposure to sensor calibration algorithms, \nGood to have:\nExperience with ROS 2\nFamiliarity with PCL, Open3D\nExposure to real-time optimization libraries (Ceres, GTSAM).","description_format":"text","description_chars":2657,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T10:34:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/origin-perception-engineer-apprentice","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/origin-perception-engineer-apprentice.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T00:32:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":392,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4608,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":686527},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686527"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forigin-perception-engineer-apprentice"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Forigin-perception-engineer-apprentice"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Forigin-perception-engineer-apprentice"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/origin-perception-engineer-apprentice\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forigin-perception-engineer-apprentice"}]}
