Onboard Platform - Embedded Software Engineer

The Role

We’re building out our first fleet of retrofitted autonomous construction machines and we’re looking for a software engineer to lead the development of our embedded Linux OS. Your day to day will revolve around:

• Managing our embedded linux system including flashing, kernel customization, device drivers optimization, user space management, NVME
• Optimize the Linux system for our embedded platform (real time, C-groups, etc.)
• Closely work with our compute supplier
• Port real time OS to our safety compute
• Bring up GPUs on embedded systems, optimize communication, etc.
• ML library optimization (Cuda, Onxx, tensorflow, etc.)

Background:

• 10+ Years of experience in OS related work (Android, iOS), data center servers, robotics systems
• Strong programming skills (C++, Python)

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Background knowledge in sensor and compute system including cameras, lidars, radars, GNSS, IMUs, edge compute, and embedded controllers
• Optimization of camera / Lidar pipelines
• Experience with Rust programming language

Other Special Aspects of the Role:

• Based in Bay Area with ability to be onsite at our testing facility and SF office on a daily/weekly basis

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.
