About the role

  • Based in the Bay Area with the ability to be onsite at our testing facility and SF office 3-4 days a week

Responsibilities

  • Own the sensor validation framework for our safety-critical system
  • Develop ML models and novel approaches for sensor data validation and anomaly detection across camera, lidar, IMU, and all other sensors on our robots
  • Build the data pipelines, ground-truth infrastructure, and evaluation frameworks that quantify sensor data quality and expose corner cases
  • Partner with the perception and behavior teams so they can deeply understand and trust the data feeding their models
  • Strong data analysis skills across statistical characterization of sensor data, corner-case and anomaly discovery, and evaluation design

Requirements

  • MSc or advanced degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
  • Deep knowledge of sensor physics: noise models, failure modes, how environmental conditions affect lidar and cameras
  • Prior experience with safety-critical systems
  • Experience with the Rust programming language

Benefits

  • 4+ years of professional experience shipping deep learning models to production (ideally on robotic or other embedded platforms), with strong hands-on experience in PyTorch or another deep learning framework
  • Hands-on experience incorporating raw sensor data (camera, lidar, IMU) into deep learning pipelines

Company info

  • At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world.
  • Our team is composed of industry 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 machinery across the country, accelerating project schedules of billion-dollar infrastructure projects and improving safety on job sites.
  • Backed by $350M in funding, we're working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.
  • This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots.
  • You'll collaborate with construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch.
  • If you're ready to apply cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team-we'd love to have you join us.
  • 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 building out our first fleet of retrofitted autonomous construction machines, and we're looking for a Senior Perception Sensor Software Engineer to own sensor validation and data quality for our safety-critical system.
  • You'll ensure that the camera, lidar, and IMU data feeding our perception and behavior models is trustworthy and rigorously characterized.
  • You'll detect when system performance degrades and quantify its impact on our ability to operate safely.
  • You'll shape how we build our sensor data representations, and partner closely with the teams working on object detection, tracking, and behavior planning.
