About the Role
Join Bedrock in moving AI out of the lab and into the real world by deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery. You'll collaborate with construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems and apply cutting-edge technology to meaningful challenges.
Responsibilities
- Help define the functional safety concept for the system.
- Author technical safety concepts at the HW level.
- Partner with the HW team to understand architectural requirements for future HW platforms.
- Author HW safety requirements and drive the design of safety mechanisms.
- Establish test plans for verification and validation of safety requirements.
- Define test infrastructure and automation to support timely program execution.
- Execute safety analysis such as HARA, FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA.
- Conduct safety analysis, develop diagnostics, and generate fault metrics.
- Guide key system elements through the end-to-end safety lifecycle.
Requirements
- Direct experience in delivering functional safety work products according to ISO 13849, ISO 26262, IEC 61508 or similar.
- Strong foundational knowledge in safety engineering techniques such as HARA, FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, and STPA.
- Experience defining and executing verification & validation in a safety context, including fault injection and HIL testing.
- Familiarity with the design and implementation of safety mechanisms and fault handling measures, such as TMR, watchdogs, redundancy management, and graceful degradation.
- BS or advanced degree in electrical, mechanical, systems, or a related engineering field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 7+ years in safety-critical hardware or systems engineering, including several focused specifically on functional safety.
- Hands-on hardware background: experience designing, reviewing, bringing up, debugging, or qualifying electrical and electronic hardware.
- Working knowledge of functional safety standards ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 26262, ISO 25119, or ISO 19014 and their applications.
- Strong experience with safety analysis.
- Comfort with real-time and embedded systems, fail-safe and fail-operational architectures, and the failure modes of sensing and compute hardware.
- Comfort working directly with hardware and test infrastructure to execute and debug safety features and tests.

About the Company
- Bedrock is moving AI out of the lab and into the real world by deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery.
- The team includes industry veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.
- The company is deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery across the country, accelerating project schedules of billion-dollar infrastructure projects and improving safety on job sites.
- Backed by $350M in funding, Bedrock is 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.
- The company values engineers with an appetite for agility and a focus on safety, encouraging sharp, quantified arguments over exhaustive documentation.
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.
