About the role

The Onboard Infrastructure team builds the software foundation Bedrock's autonomous machines run on, the layer giving Bedrock the ability to scale across multiple machines, variations, models and environments. Our software keeps every machine working reliably hours from the nearest engineer, in harsh environments and on lossy connectivity, doing real work on billion-dollar projects.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building and shipping embedded systems in robotics, automotive, drones, or other high-performance embedded contexts
  • Strong programming skills in a systems language such as C++ or Rust, plus fluency in Python for scripting and analysis
  • Solid foundation building software on Linux-based systems, with the versatility to work up and down the stack, from services and applications to performance tuning and system internals
  • Comfortable developing, automating, and debugging across the hardware/software boundary
  • Track record of leading projects, driving design decisions, and working effectively across hardware, autonomy, and platform teams
  • Hands-on work with real-world sensing systems, including cameras, lidar, GPS/GNSS, IMUs, radar, or other fielded sensors
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.
