About the role
- 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.
- This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots.
- 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.
Requirements
- Experience leading large HW development programs from ideation through proto, EVT, DVT, and production stages
- Experience with some or all of the following:
- 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
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or related technical field
- Understanding and knowledge of physical processes by which a sensor operates
- Hands on experience with characterization of autonomy sensors like lidar, radar, and cameras
- Deep experience in any of these areas:
- Experience with system engineering requirements definition and V&V
- Experience with common standards for HW deployment in construction
- Strong foundational knowledge in traditional HW engineering subjects such as electrical design, testing, and deployment of hardware systems in rugged outdoor environments
- 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
- 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)
- Strong fundamentals in HW engineering
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.
- 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.
- You'll collaborate with construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch.
- We're growing our sizable fleet of retrofitted autonomous construction machines and we're looking for a talented hardware engineer to help define system architecture, test and integrate modules into the system, and generally provide coverage on critical HW workstreams.
- You will work alongside senior engineers responsible for designing these systems, and be responsible for delivering highly robust and capable autonomous HW systems to the field.
