Here is a video I had already collected the rig but I retraced the location. On a side note the same room has a door you can open with your drone. This will take you out to the vending machines.
There are a few Exo rigs located throughout the areas of this game. You will automatically need to obtain one of these after you beat the fourth boss (The Black Cerberus) in order to proceed further into the game. This Exo-Rig is located in the med bay of the executive area. This rig will be in a glass container of the left side of the med bay. After you’ve beaten the Black Cerberus, come back to the med bay and acquire this Exo-Rig. Go to the med bay bed and purchase the rig to equip it to obtain this trophy.
You can collect the Prototype Rig once you return to Central Production B. It is in a room on the top of the Circulation Tower, right before Builder Sevice Access. If you earlier gave Irina a staff, she'll be standing right next to the door leading to the room. Inside wait three enemies, as well as the Rig Enhancer. You'll unlock the achievement once you install it in Medbay.
