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.\nThe Role\nThe Onboard Infrastructure team builds the software foundation Bedrock's autonomous machines run on, the layer giving Bedrock the ability to scale across multiple machines, variations, models and environments. Our software keeps every machine working reliably hours from the nearest engineer, in harsh environments and on lossy connectivity, doing real work on billion-dollar projects.\nWe're looking for Senior and Staff Software Engineers to architect, build, and own major areas of our onboard platform, from the OS, drivers, and system services up through the runtime frameworks our autonomy stack is built on. You'll take these systems from first bring-up through reliable operation in the field, keeping the platform fast, secure, and dependable at fleet scale.\nIn this role, you will:\nBring up next-generation compute and sensors as we expand to new machine types\n\nDevelop the core system services that keep a fleet running reliably: software updates, lifecycle management, data logging, health monitoring, and connectivity\n\nArchitect and develop the onboard runtime and middleware for execution, communication, configuration, and observability that let autonomy teams move fast and ship to multiple machine types\n\nOptimize and benchmark onboard system performance across CPU, GPU, and memory for mixed-criticality, real-time workloads\n\nExpand diagnostics and observability across the onboard stack, enabling a small team to keep a growing fleet healthy\n\nBuild internal tools, frameworks, and test infrastructure that accelerate development and validation across engineering\n\nLean into AI and agents, from automating development workflows to fleet analysis, triage, troubleshooting, and more.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nExperience building and shipping embedded systems in robotics, automotive, drones, or other high-performance embedded contexts\n\nStrong programming skills in a systems language such as C++ or Rust, plus fluency in Python for scripting and analysis\n\nSolid foundation building software on Linux-based systems, with the versatility to work up and down the stack, from services and applications to performance tuning and system internals\n\nComfortable developing, automating, and debugging across the hardware/software boundary\n\nTrack record of leading projects, driving design decisions, and working effectively across hardware, autonomy, and platform teams\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nHands-on work with real-world sensing systems, including cameras, lidar, GPS/GNSS, IMUs, radar, or other fielded sensors\n\nBackground in OTA, security, connectivity, telemetry, diagnostics, or other production-hardening areas for connected fleets\n\nFamiliarity with the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem, including optimizing ML inference and other GPU workloads on embedded compute (e.g., CUDA, TensorRT)\n\nExperience with Rust in production or performance-critical systems\n\nPrior work on safety-critical systems\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":4416,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics","Construction 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":3}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.286,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":475,"expected_fill_days":59,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrockrobotics-software-engineer-onboard-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrockrobotics-software-engineer-onboard-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T03:41:28Z","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":5733,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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-software-engineer-onboard-platform"},{"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-software-engineer-onboard-platform"},{"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-software-engineer-onboard-platform"},{"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-software-engineer-onboard-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbedrockrobotics-software-engineer-onboard-platform"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":656432}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bedrockrobotics.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":656432},"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.
