StaffSenior Mechanical Engineer

The Role

Bedrock is bringing autonomy to the construction industry! Were a group of veterans from the autonomous vehicle industry who are passionate about bringing the benefits of automation to areas in the construction industry currently underserved by the market. We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented mechanical engineer to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the entire product lifecycle from research and design to implementation manufacturing and integration. You will work on a variety of projects applying your knowledge of mechanics thermodynamics and material science to solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions.

What youll be doing:

• Design and develop mechanical components systems and products using computer-aided design (CAD) software such as SolidWorks Fusion360 CATIA or similar programs.
• Develop and validate mechanical structures for an autonomous sensor and compute suite ensuring robustness and performance in demanding environments.
• Collaborate closely with Industrial Designers to translate aesthetic and ergonomic requirements into manufacturable designs optimizing for cost and assembly efficiency.
• Analyze project requirements and perform calculations to determine the feasibility cost and performance of new and existing equipment.
• Create and maintain detailed engineering documentation including drawings specifications and reports.
• Develop and execute test plans for prototypes to ensure designs meet all necessary specifications and quality standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical engineers manufacturing personnel and project managers to ensure seamless project execution.
• Oversee the manufacturing process for your designs providing support DFM adjustments and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
• Conduct research on new materials and technologies to improve product performance and reduce costs.

What we want to see:

• 7 years of hands-on experience in debugging and diagnosing mechatronic systems issues and working on machines (disassembling and assembling parts)
• Proactive organized good communication and collaboration skills
• Worked with latest sensor technology for autonomous driving platforms incl. sensor calibrations
• Experience with autonomous vehicle sensors and compute suite hardware and automotive mechanical and electrical systems is highly valued!

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with heavy construction machines including excavators articulated dump trucks dozers wheel loaders motor graders etc
• Experience with harness cable and/or piping design

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 of NY) please apply anyway! Wed love to consider you.

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock weve 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 Segments $3.2B acquisition and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.

While others debate the future of AI were 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 isnt a simulationits autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.

In just over a year weve raised $80M put our equipment into the field and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. Were working quickly to close the gap between Americas surging demand for housing data centers manufacturing hubs and the construction industrys growing labor shortage.

Here algorithms meet steel-toed boots. Youll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If youre interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented teamwed love to have you join us.
