JOIN THE TEAM BRINGING ADVANCED AUTONOMY TO THE BUILT WORLD 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. ABOUT THE ROLE & TEAM Simulation is how we move fast, but a sim is only as good as the machine model underneath it. The V&V team measures what real actuators and real environments actually do, and feeds that back until sim and reality agree. As our V&V intern, you'll own black-box testing of hardware actuators and help quantify and then close the sim-to-real gap. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Develop and execute black-box test plans that characterize actuator behavior on machines and test stands * Instrument hardware, set up data acquisition, and collect clean, trustworthy datasets * Characterize response behavior — latency, deadband, hysteresis, saturation — and how it shifts with temperature, load, and wear * Compare real machine data against simulation output and quantify where they diverge * Feed your findings to the controls and simulation teams as concrete model improvements * Automate test execution and reporting so these runs become routine WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR REQUIRED * Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in mechanical, computer science, electrical, aerospace, or robotics engineering — or bringing equivalent hands-on experience * Working understanding of controls or system identification fundamentals * Python for analysis and automation * Hands-on experience with sensors, DAQ, or test benches * Willingness to spend real time on machines in the field, in PPE PREFERRED * Exposure to hydraulics or heavy equipment * Experience with a robotics simulator (Isaac, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or similar) * Familiarity with ROS or comparable robotics middleware Bedrock Robotics is an Equal Opportunity Employer We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other protected characteristic. Reasonable Accommodations We want our hiring process to be accessible to everyone. If you need an accommodation to participate in the application or interview process, please let your recruiter know so we can support you.
