Internship 2027 Sensor Hardware Test Engineer

Bedrock Robotics • San Francisco, CA

18h • Onsite

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's 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

Nice To Haves

• 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

Responsibilities

• 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
