Bedrock Robotics enables construction companies to operate heavy equipment autonomously to increase speed and safety on job sites. The company retrofits existing earthmoving and construction machinery with autonomy stacks—combining AI perception, sensor suites (LiDAR, cameras), controls software, and teleoperation interfaces—to deliver expert-level task execution and enhanced safety. It operates as a B2B robotics and autonomy platform for contractors, builders, and equipment owners, integrating with construction workflows and fleet management systems. Bedrock targets large-scale infrastructure, housing, and industrial construction markets where labor shortages and schedule pressure drive demand for autonomous equipment.

The Role About the Role: We are seeking a highly motivated and technically versatile Operations Test Engineer to lead and support field test deployment, operator enablement, safety standardization, and validation initiatives across multiple testing sites and platforms. This role bridges engineering development with real-world field execution ensuring autonomous machines are operated safely, test routines are properly documented, and systems are validated for high-quality data collection and performance.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about the autonomous systems vertical combining a deep technical understanding of sensors, perception systems, and control software with the practical know-how to execute safe and efficient field operations.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and execute STO (Safe Test Operation) tests and ATO (Automated Test Operation) procedures for autonomous platforms.
Set up and coordinate STO activities across multiple test sites and environments.
Develop and implement operator and technician onboarding and certification programs tailored for autonomous vehicles and robotics.
Manage operational safety guidelines by machine type, ensuring compliance with industry safety and validation standards.
Collaborate with Software, Machine Learning, and Hardware Engineering teams to:
Bring up new autonomous machines
Validate firmware/software integrations and autonomy stack updates
Ensure retrofits, upfits, and sensor packages remain in optimal working condition
Contribute to technical areas such as:
Assisting with software deployments, including running Linux commands to start/stop services, check logs, and verify system status
Supporting test automation workflows (no direct coding required)
Using tools like GitHub, Foxglove, Axiom, Notion, Linear, and Fleetio
Network debugging, connectivity setup, and teleoperation support
Ensure field data quality management, traceability standards, and sensor calibration procedures are upheld.
Maintain operational readiness across all autonomous testing environments.

Preferred Skills:
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.
