About the role

As a Reliability Engineer , you will own hardware reliability for our next-generation autonomous construction machines. You will define and drive the reliability engineering programs across compute, sensors, cleaning, power, actuation, and supporting subsystems — establishing reliability requirements and budgets, leading Design FMEAs (DFMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), building reliability models and test programs, and closing the loop from field failures back into design.

What they're looking for

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • Experience: 10+ years in hardware reliability engineering for vehicles, heavy machinery, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial equipment
  • Reliability Methods: Deep, hands-on expertise leading DFMEA and FTA, plus reliability prediction/modeling, accelerated and life testing (HALT/HASS, ALT), and structured root-cause analysis / FRACAS
  • Tools: Strong working knowledge of reliability and statistical tools (e.g., ReliaSoft Weibull++/BlockSim, Windchill Quality/Relex, Minitab, Python or R), familiarity with PDM/PLM systems a plus
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.
