Hardware Engineer

The Role

As a Hardware Engineer, you'll be responsible for defining system architecture, testing and integrating modules, and providing coverage on critical hardware work-streams for autonomous construction machines. Responsibilities include designing, characterizing, integrating, and validating hardware, establishing vendor relationships, working with the safety team on requirements, and writing software for data analysis and test automation.

The ideal candidate will possess strong foundational knowledge in electrical design, testing, and deployment of hardware systems. Key qualifications include expertise with high-performance edge compute platforms (multi-CPU, GPU resources) and common autonomous sensing technologies like lidar, camera, radar, GNSS, and IMUs. Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++/Rust, Python, and shell scripting is also required for prototyping, debugging, and running tests. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field, along with 5+ years of relevant industry experience, is preferred.

Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF of NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you. 

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we've assembled one of the most experienced autonomous technology teams in the industry, with deep expertise scaling breakthroughs across transportation, infrastructure, and enterprise software. Our leaders helped put the first self-driving cars on public roads at Waymo, scaled systems for Segment's $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.

While others debate the future of AI, we're deploying it in the real world. Our systems are already installed on heavy machines across the country, learning on real construction sites and working to reshape the earth with survey-grade precision and exceptional safety. This isn't a simulation—it's autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.

In just over a year, we've raised $80M, put our equipment into the field, and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. We're working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.

Here, algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers, tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If you're interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.
