2027 Internship Sensor Hardware Test Engineer

At Bedrock were 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 were deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.

Were not here debating the future of AI. Were deploying it in the real just two years weve raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.

This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. Youll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations cant touch. If youre ready to do meaningful work on hard problems wed love to have you join us.

As a Sensor Hardware Test intern youll work alongside our test engineering team to characterize and validate the sensors - cameras lidar and supporting hardware - that power Bedrocks autonomous excavators. Youll help build test fixtures run structured lab test campaigns and turn raw sensor data into clear conclusions that guide how we select and integrate hardware. Youll also get out to our field site to see how bench results hold up on a live construction machine. Youll own a hands-on project involving sensor hardware testing end-to-end and your results will directly shape what hardware ends up on the next generation of machines.

• Build and iterate on test fixtures and benchtop setups - mechanical mounts wiring harnesses DAQ integration - used to characterize camera lidar and other sensor hardware

• Run structured sensor test campaigns in the lab following defined test procedures and capturing repeatable well-documented data

• Help safely deploy test setups and instrumentation out at our field site and support live field test campaigns on active construction equipment

• Develop tools to automate data collection process raw sensor logs and summarize results against pass/fail criteria

• Help scope and select test equipment (light meters targets DAQ hardware valves and actuators for environmental or fluid test rigs) for new test setups

• Support electrical and mechanical debugging of test hardware including wiring sensor interfacing and basic CAD work for fixture design

• Document test methods results and findings and present conclusions to the test engineering team to inform sensor selection and system design decisions

• Currently pursuing a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Physics Optics Mechatronics or a related field

• Hands-on experience building or testing hardware through coursework personal projects or a prior internship

• Working proficiency in Python for data processing scripting or automation

• Comfortable with basic lab equipment and electrical debugging (multimeters oscilloscopes DAQ systems)

• Comfortable working outdoors and around active construction equipment and willing to spend time on-site at our field test location for deployment and field testing

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document technical work clearly for a team

• Exposure to cameras lidar radar or other sensing hardware through coursework internship experience or personal projects

• Experience with CAD tools for mechanical fixture design

• Familiarity with Git and working within a shared codebase

• Prior coursework internship or project experience in robotics autonomous systems or controls
