Staff / Senior Mechanical Engineer

The Role

Bedrock is bringing autonomy to the construction industry! We’re 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 you\'ll 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.

Our roles are often flexible. If you don\'t fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF of NY) please apply anyway! We\'d love to consider you.

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we\'ve 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 Segment\'s $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.

While others debate the future of AI, we\'re 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 isn\'t a simulation—it's autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.

In just over a year, we\'ve raised $80M, put our equipment into the field, and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. We\'re working quickly to close the gap between America\'s surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry\'s growing labor shortage.

Here, algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You\'ll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers, tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If you\'re interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we\'d love to have you join us.
