Job 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 faster execution, stronger project economics, and meaningful cost savings. Join India’s talent-dense robotics team, with colleagues from IITs, Stanford, UCLA, and other leading institutions.

About the role

As Deployment Lead, you will own high-priority initiatives that sit between product, operations, customers, and field execution. You will take new robot capabilities from an internal prototype to a successful customer pilot, resolving ambiguity quickly and building the operating playbook that the wider team can scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move between a construction site, a product review, a customer conversation, and an operating model without losing momentum or accountability.

Key responsibilities

• Own Paid pilots end to end, including scope, site readiness, deployment planning, acceptance criteria, execution, and post-pilot review.
• Work hand-in-hand with Sales team in converting the paid pilots to Signed contracts for commercial deployment.
• Translate customer and field needs into clear product, hardware, software, and operational requirements.
• Coordinate engineering, deployment, safety, commercial, and customer stakeholders around milestones and decision points.
• Build repeatable playbooks for mobilization, operator training, site support, issue escalation, and handover.
• Drive adoption within the customers Org in ramping up the deployment scale.
• Track pilot economics, utilization, reliability, customer outcomes, and blockers; drive corrective actions rapidly.
• Lead structured problem solving during live deployments and ensure lessons are fed back into product roadmaps.
• Evaluate new use cases, partners, geographies, and operating models, then recommend whether and how Origin should scale them.

Required qualifications and skills

• 6+ years in deployment, program management, operations, product operations, consulting, founder’s office, or an equivalent high-ownership role.
• Demonstrated success launching complex physical products, industrial systems, automation, robotics, or construction technology in real customer environments.
• Strong structured problem solving, project planning, stakeholder management, and written communication.
• Comfort working hands-on at sites, understanding technical issues, and driving closure across functions.
• Ability to turn ambiguous goals into measurable plans, owners, milestones, and operating processes.
• Willingness to travel frequently and work around customer and site schedules.

Preferred experience

• Construction operations, robotics deployment, industrial automation, heavy equipment, or hardware startups.
• Experience building new business lines, pilot-to-scale playbooks, or customer success operations.
• Familiarity with safety, commissioning, field service, unit economics, and commercial contracting.
