About the Role

Lead validation, verification, and systems engineering as an integrated discipline. Define criteria for unsupervised deployments, serve as the technical authority on readiness, and participate in critical launch decisions. Develop a validation architecture for incremental, evidence-based processes and create new best practices for an emerging industry.

Responsibilities

  • Own safety validation of the system, including designing metrics, scenario libraries, and architectural coverage.
  • Develop a validation architecture that generalizes across machines, tasks, and sites.
  • Own requirements decomposition and traceability from mission-level intent through subsystems.
  • Define the V&V strategy and infrastructure, specifying tooling and sim capability.
  • Validate hardware and functional safety of sensing, compute, and actuation kit.
  • Grow and scale a team of software, systems, test, and hardware engineers plus data scientists.
  • Define KPIs and create decision-grade reporting for leadership, customers, and insurers.

Requirements

  • BS or advanced degree in engineering, physics, or another technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years in test planning and experimental design for safety-critical autonomous or robotic systems.
  • Track record building and leading multidisciplinary technical organizations.
  • Depth in sensing and compute: cameras, lidar, radar, GNSS, IMUs, edge compute, embedded controllers.
  • Fluency in data analysis and test automation (Python, C/C++).
  • Experience running many parallel test activities across non-colocated teams, sites, and stakeholders.
  • Judgment about when a claim is proven and when it merely looks proven.

About the Company

  • Bedrock is moving AI out of the lab and into the real world, deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery.
  • The team includes industry veterans from Waymo, Segment, and Uber Freight.
  • Backed by $350M in funding, Bedrock is addressing the construction industry's growing labor shortage.
  • We are 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.

Equal Opportunity

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