2027 Internship Sensor Systems 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.

Every new machine type we bring into the fleet raises the same question from scratch: which sensors where do they go and what are they used for The Systems / Sensors team answers it with analysis rather than guesswork trading off coverage cost durability and what will actually survive on a jobsite. As our Sensor Systems intern youll own sensor selection and placement analysis for a new machine platform from first trade study to validation on real steel.

• Work at the intersection between sensor physics autonomy systems architecture mechanical integration and design.

• Analyze sensor coverage occlusion and blind spots for candidate sensor suites on new machine types

• Build or extend tooling that models field of view range and coverage geometry

• Run trade studies weighing performance against cost durability and mounting constraints

• Prototype mounting concepts and validate coverage assumptions on actual machines

• Turn your analysis into sensor requirements and specs the hardware team can build to

• Work across perception hardware and safety to make sure the suite serves everyone downstream

• Currently pursuing a BS MS or PhD in an engineering or engineering-adjacent discipline such as mechanical electrical physics mechatronics robotics or computer science (or bringing equivalent hands-on experience)

• Solid grasp of 3D geometry coordinate frames and transforms

• Python for analysis and tooling

• CAD fluency - enough to reason about where hardware physically goes

• Willingness to go to mock construction sites and test sensor configurations

• Experience with device physics ray tracing rendering or coverage simulation

• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle sensor suites

• Exposure to heavy equipment or off-road machinery
