Hardware Engineer
Job description
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.
We’re growing our sizable fleet of retrofitted autonomous…
Job responsibilities
- Help define system and component level HW architecture for autonomous machines
- Establish and lead relationships and programs with external vendors to deliver critical components and systems for our autonomous HW platforms
- Work with safety team to establish requirements and performance metrics for components and systems
- Write reusable, high quality, sensor data analysis and test automation software (Python and/or C++/C/Rust)
Job requirements
- Strong foundational knowledge in traditional HW engineering subjects such as electrical design, testing, and deployment of hardware systems in rugged outdoor environments
- Experience leading large HW development programs from ideation through proto, EVT, DVT, and production stages
- Experience with some or all of the following: High performance/power edge compute including multi-CPU platforms with significant GPU resources
- Common autonomous sensing technologies including lidar (spinning, flash), camera (visible, SWIR, NIR, etc…), radar, GNSS, and IMUs
- Packaging and integration strategies for high performance HW systems in rugged environments including high shock/vibe, wide temp ranges, IP, and solar loading
- High speed signaling including GSML, multi gigabit ethernet, RF
- Proficiency in compiled (C/C++/Rust), shell (linux bash), or runtime (Python) languages with ability to prototype and debug software components of HW systems as well as run tests, data collection, analysis, and reporting
- 6+ years of professional relevant industry experience as hardware engineer or related technical role
