About the role

As a Sensor Hardware Test intern, you'll work alongside our test engineering team to characterize and validate the sensors - cameras, lidar, and supporting hardware - that power Bedrock's autonomous excavators. You'll help build test fixtures, run structured lab test campaigns, and turn raw sensor data into clear conclusions that guide how we select and integrate hardware. You'll also get out to our field site to see how bench results hold up on a live construction machine.

What they're looking for

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optics, Mechatronics, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience building or testing hardware through coursework, personal projects, or a prior internship
  • Working proficiency in Python for data processing, scripting, or automation
  • Comfortable with basic lab equipment and electrical debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, DAQ systems)
  • Comfortable working outdoors and around active construction equipment, and willing to spend time on-site at our field test location for deployment and field testing
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document technical work clearly for a team
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.
