Advanced Autonomy for the Built World.
About the role
We are looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer to design, build, and scale robust test systems that ensure product quality from early hardware development through high-volume manufacturing and fleet deployment. This role sits at the intersection of hardware engineering, manufacturing, and quality—owning test strategy, infrastructure, and execution to catch design, process, workmanship, and component-level issues before products reach the field. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing test, hardware validation, or production engineering
- Experience supporting NPI builds (EVT/DVT/PVT) and scaling production ramp
- Strong experience with automated test development and scripting (Python preferred)
- Hands-on experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, DAQs, power supplies, sensors, etc.)
- Familiarity with MES systems , work order configuration, and manufacturing workflows
More about this role
At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and onto real job sites. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. We retrofit the heavy equipment contractors already own, starting with excavators, so experienced crews can safely take on more projects and deliver more of the critical infrastructure our society needs.
In August 2026, Bedrock-equipped excavators began doing fully autonomous, paid work on live commercial job sites. We've more than doubled our customer base since 2025, and our machines now work with contractors across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic
In October 2026, we raised a $600M Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, bringing our total funding to nearly $1B. We're using it to put more autonomous machines to work, build the field and operations teams behind every deployment, and expand into new machine types and job-site tasks.
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,...
