About the role

Getting an autonomy stack onto a 40-ton excavator is a hardware problem long before it's a software one — brackets, harnesses, enclosures, and interfaces that survive vibration, dust, and weather. As our Machine Integration intern, you'll design and build the physical interfaces between our system and the machine, plus the test stands we use to prove them out before they ever hit a jobsite. Integrate sensors, compute, and wiring onto machines alongside the hardware team

What they're looking for

  • Currently pursuing a BS or MS in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field — or bringing equivalent hands-on experience
  • CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar)
  • Genuine hands-on shop skills — you've built physical things, not just modeled them
  • Basic electrical competence: harnessing, connectors, multimeter, reading a schematic
  • Willingness to work on and around heavy equipment in PPE
More about this role

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. 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.
