Operations Test Engineer

The Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically versatile Test and Field Validation Engineer to lead and support field test deployment, operator enablement, safety standardization, and validation initiatives across multiple testing sites and platforms. This role bridges engineering development with real-world field execution—ensuring machines are safely operated, properly recording test routines, and technically validated for high-quality data collection and system performance.

This individual will be responsible for developing and implementing operator and technician onboarding and certification programs, managing operational safety guidelines by machine type, and collaborating across Software, Machine Learning, and Hardware Engineering to bring up new machines, validate firmware/software integrations, and ensuring ongoing retrofits and upfits are in proper working order. A deep understanding of field data quality management and collection, traceability standards, and operational readiness is critical for success in this role.

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.
