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\nAs a Sensor Hardware Test intern, you'll work alongside our test engineering team to characterize and validate the sensors - cameras, lidar, and supporting hardware - that power Bedrock's autonomous excavators. You'll help build test fixtures, run structured lab test campaigns, and turn raw sensor data into clear conclusions that guide how we select and integrate hardware. You'll also get out to our field site to see how bench results hold up on a live construction machine. You’ll own a hands-on project involving sensor hardware testing end-to-end, and your results will directly shape what hardware ends up on the next generation of machines.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and iterate on test fixtures and benchtop setups - mechanical mounts, wiring harnesses, DAQ integration - used to characterize camera, lidar, and other sensor hardware\n\nRun structured sensor test campaigns in the lab, following defined test procedures and capturing repeatable, well-documented data\n\nHelp safely deploy test setups and instrumentation out at our field site, and support live field test campaigns on active construction equipment\n\nDevelop tools to automate data collection, process raw sensor logs, and summarize results against pass/fail criteria\n\nHelp scope and select test equipment (light meters, targets, DAQ hardware, valves and actuators for environmental or fluid test rigs) for new test setups\n\nSupport electrical and mechanical debugging of test hardware, including wiring, sensor interfacing, and basic CAD work for fixture design\n\nDocument test methods, results, and findings, and present conclusions to the test engineering team to inform sensor selection and system design decisions\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nRequired\nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optics, Mechatronics, or a related field\n\nHands-on experience building or testing hardware through coursework, personal projects, or a prior internship\n\nWorking proficiency in Python for data processing, scripting, or automation\n\nComfortable with basic lab equipment and electrical debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, DAQ systems)\n\nComfortable working outdoors and around active construction equipment, and willing to spend time on-site at our field test location for deployment and field testing\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document technical work clearly for a team\n\nPreferred\nExposure to cameras, lidar, radar, or other sensing hardware through coursework, internship experience, or personal projects\n\nExperience with CAD tools for mechanical fixture design\n\nFamiliarity with Git and working within a shared codebase\n\nPrior coursework, internship, or project experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or controls\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":4302,"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":["Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T21:06:15Z"}],"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":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.712,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":59,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:late","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T10:14:30Z","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":14732,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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%2Fbedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer"},{"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%2Fbedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer"},{"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%2Fbedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer"},{"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/bedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbedrockrobotics-internship-2027-sensor-hardware-test-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":656370}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bedrockrobotics.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":656370},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
