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

Support the design, characterization, integration, and validation of Bedrock autonomy hardware and related systems, under the guidance of senior engineers.
Assist with component evaluations for our autonomous HW platforms
Write sensor data analysis and test automation scripts (Python and/or C++/C/Rust)
Run tests, collect data, and document results clearly for the engineering team

What they want

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
Solid foundational knowledge in HW engineering subjects such as mechanical, electrical, and embedded SW
Embedded compute platforms, including single-board computers or edge compute modules
Common autonomous sensing technologies such as lidar, camera, radar, GNSS, or IMUs
Packaging and integration of HW systems, including basic mechanical or thermal considerations
Basic signaling and communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, or Ethernet
Proficiency in one or more of Python, C/C++, or Rust, with the ability to write scripts for tests, data collection, or analysis
Strong fundamentals in circuits, signals, and basic mechanical design
Comfortable working in a lab environment with tools such as a multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, soldering iron, or hammer when necessary :)

About Bedrock Robotics · Engineering

Bedrock is bringing autonomy to the construction industry! We're a group of veterans from the autonomous vehicle industry who are passionate about bringing the benefits of automation to areas in the construction industry currently underserved by the market. We're growing our sizable fleet of retrofitted autonomous construction machines and we're looking for a motivated hardware engineering intern to support system testing and integration.
