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.\nWe'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.\nThis 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.\nAbout the Role & Team\nConstruction sites change with every bucket of dirt. Our State Estimation team builds the maps and localization systems that help autonomous excavators understand where they are and how the terrain is changing.\nAs an intern on this team, you'll explore how modern learning-based methods can improve our geometry-first mapping stack. That could mean localizing reliably in terrain that looks the same in every direction, building maps that hold up through dust and occlusion, or labeling the map semantically so the machine can tell material to dig from haul roads, spoil piles, and berms. You'll test your ideas on real fleet data, measure them against strong classical baselines, and deliver a prototype the team can build on.\nWhat You'll Do\nPrototype learned SLAM and mapping methods, such as place recognition, odometry, depth completion, and neural occupancy or surface representations\n\nFuse lidar and camera segmentation into consistent 3D semantic maps, potentially using vision foundation models or open-vocabulary segmentation\n\nDevelop methods that handle changing terrain, moving material, sparse returns, dust, occlusion, and perceptual aliasing\n\nTrain models on fleet lidar and camera data, and build evaluation pipelines to compare mapping and localization performance against existing methods and ground truth\n\nWork with perception and planning teams to identify the map properties that matter most for downstream decisions\n\nDeliver a documented prototype, experimental results, and recommendations for future work\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nRequired\nPursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, or a related field, or equivalent research or industry experience\n\nStrong Python skills and hands-on model training experience with PyTorch or a similar framework\n\nSolid understanding of 3D geometry, coordinate frames, and transforms\n\nFamiliarity with SLAM and mapping fundamentals, point clouds, or depth data\n\nComfort with messy sensor data and designing experiments that distinguish real improvements from noise\n\nPreferred\nResearch or project experience in learned SLAM, semantic mapping, or 3D scene understanding\n\nExperience with neural scene representations, such as NeRFs, 3D Gaussian splatting, neural occupancy, or signed distance fields\n\nExperience applying vision foundation models, such as DINOv2 or SAM, to 3D or robotics problems\n\nExperience with lidar processing or multi-sensor fusion\n\nExposure to autonomous vehicle, off-road, or field robotics data\n\nFamiliarity with Rust or C++, and ROS or similar robotics middleware\n\nBedrock Robotics is an Equal Opportunity Employer\nWe’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other protected characteristic.\nReasonable Accommodations\nWe want our hiring process to be accessible to everyone. If you need an accommodation to participate in the application or interview process, please let your recruiter know so we can support you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4104,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","Robotics","Construction Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T23:02:42Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":257500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.608,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":24,"expected_fill_days":44,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T13:03:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14457,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":668890},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668890"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbedrock-robotics-2027-internship-state-estimation-learned-mapping-semantic-slam"}]}
