About the role

Our software keeps every machine working reliably hours from the nearest engineer, in harsh environments and on lossy connectivity, doing real work on billion-dollar projects.
You'll take these systems from first bring-up through reliable operation in the field, keeping the platform fast, secure, and dependable at fleet scale.
Bring up next-generation compute and sensors as we expand to new machine types

Architect and develop the onboard runtime and middleware for execution, communication, configuration, and observability that let autonomy teams move fast and ship to multiple machine types
Optimize and benchmark onboard system performance across CPU, GPU, and memory for mixed-criticality, real-time workloads
Build internal tools, frameworks, and test infrastructure that accelerate development and validation across engineering

Hands-on work with real-world sensing systems, including cameras, lidar, GPS/GNSS, IMUs, radar, or other fielded sensors
Background in OTA, security, connectivity, telemetry, diagnostics, or other production-hardening areas for connected fleets
Familiarity with the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem, including optimizing ML inference and other GPU workloads on embedded compute (e.g., CUDA, TensorRT)
Experience with Rust in production or performance-critical systems
Prior work on safety-critical systems
We'd love to consider you.
Strong programming skills in a systems language such as C++ or Rust, plus fluency in Python for scripting and analysis

Develop the core system services that keep a fleet running reliably: software updates, lifecycle management, data logging, health monitoring, and connectivity

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.
