Onboard Platform Sensor SW Engineer

The Role

We’re building out our first fleet of retrofitted autonomous construction machines and we’re looking for a Software Engineer to work on the Hardware Abstraction Layer for sensors. Your day to day work will be developing and optimizing our sensor pipelines (Lidar, cameras, IMUs, GPS, etc.)

Background

• 5+ years of experience in sensor bring up, calibration, and sensor validation
• Strong programming skills (C++ and python)
• Strong data analysis skills (Data munching, statistical analysis)

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd

• Deep understanding of GMSL, MIPI, GStreamer, Lidar
• Video compression (H264, H265)
• Experience with the Rust programming language

• Experience with Sensor calibration and processes
• Experience with sensor validation algorithms

Other Special Aspects of the Role

• Based in the Bay Area with the 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.
