Software Engineer, Simulation

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.

Were looking for exceptional Software Engineers to build and scale our robotics simulation environment. Simulation is a critical foundation for autonomy at Bedrock - it allows us to validate end-to-end systems evaluate complex and unsafe scenarios and run testing at massive scale.

Our autonomy stack is deeply machine-learningdriven and closing the sim-to-real gap is a core focus of this role. The simulator must accurately represent real-world physics - including terrain deformation for digging and earthmoving - while remaining efficient enough to support thousands of simulation runs. High-quality simulation directly accelerates robotics development making this work central to our success.

• Build and scale high-fidelity simulation environments for autonomous construction machines

• Develop simulation systems that support ML-based autonomy evaluation and safety validation

• Improve realism and performance to better reflect real-world behavior

• Help guide our strategy in scene generation and neural rendering techniques

• Write production-quality hands-on code and build real simulation contentnot just prototypes

Simulation spans many disciplines and we dont expect one person to do everything. Strong candidates typically bring:

• A passion for large-scale realistic simulation systems

• Experience with advanced 3D simulation software

• Experience evaluating systems and improving realism to support autonomy stacks

• A hands-on mindset and enthusiasm for building core simulation algorithms and content

• Engineering math or physics degree or computer science background with demonstrated interest and strength in math and physics

• 4 years of professional experience in software engineering with proven track record of building modular maintainable production-quality software systems in C

• 2 years of experience with one or more 3D engines or simulation frameworks such as: Unreal Engine Unity Godot Blender Gazebo Isaac Sim Omniverse

• Experience with Rust or interest in learning it

• Robotics simulation background

• Experience with neural rendering techniques (Gaussian splats NeRFs)

Our roles are often flexible. If you dont fit all the criteria or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF or NY) please apply anyway! Wed love to consider you.
