Internship 2027 Sensor Systems Engineer

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built worldAt 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. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.About the Role & TeamEvery new machine type we bring into the fleet raises the same question from scratch: which sensors, where do they go and what are they used for? The Systems / Sensors team answers it with analysis rather than guesswork, trading off coverage, cost, durability, and what will actually survive on a jobsite. As our Sensor Systems intern, you'll own sensor selection and placement analysis for a new machine platform, from first trade study to validation on real steel.What You'll DoWork at the intersection between sensor physics, autonomy systems architecture, mechanical integration and design.Analyze sensor coverage, occlusion, and blind spots for candidate sensor suites on new machine typesBuild or extend tooling that models field of view, range, and coverage geometryRun trade studies weighing performance against cost, durability, and mounting constraintsPrototype mounting concepts and validate coverage assumptions on actual machinesTurn your analysis into sensor requirements and specs the hardware team can build toWork across perception, hardware, and safety to make sure the suite serves everyone downstreamWhat We're Looking ForRequiredCurrently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in an engineering or engineering-adjacent discipline such as mechanical, electrical, physics, mechatronics, robotics, or computer science (or bringing equivalent hands-on experience)Solid grasp of 3D geometry, coordinate frames, and transformsPython for analysis and toolingCAD fluency - enough to reason about where hardware physically goesWillingness to go to mock construction sites and test sensor configurationsPreferredExperience with device physics, ray tracing, rendering or coverage simulationFamiliarity with autonomous vehicle sensor suitesExposure to heavy equipment or off-road machineryBedrock Robotics is an Equal Opportunity EmployerWe’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
