2027 Internship Hardware Engineer, Machine Integration & Test

Where: San Francisco, CA

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.

We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.

This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch.

What you'd do

Integrate sensors, compute, and wiring onto machines alongside the hardware team
Design brackets, enclosures, and interface hardware in CAD, then help fabricate and install them
Build test stands for validating subsystems on the bench instead of in the field
Run lab tests, capture data, and iterate on designs based on what breaks
Document build and install procedures so the next machine goes faster than the last
Close the loop with the field team on what's working and what isn't

What they want

Currently pursuing a BS or MS in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field — or bringing equivalent hands-on experience
CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar)
Genuine hands-on shop skills — you've built physical things, not just modeled them
Basic electrical competence: harnessing, connectors, multimeter, reading a schematic
Willingness to work on and around heavy equipment in PPE

About Bedrock Robotics · Engineering

Getting an autonomy stack onto a 40-ton excavator is a hardware problem long before it's a software one — brackets, harnesses, enclosures, and interfaces that survive vibration, dust, and weather. As our Machine Integration intern, you'll design and build the physical interfaces between our system and the machine, plus the test stands we use to prove them out before they ever hit a jobsite.
