Bedrock Robotics Software Engineer at Bedrock Robotics building software foundations for state estimation including pose, calibration, and mapping. Develop libraries, interfaces, and infrastructure used across the autonomy stack for safe, precise operation of autonomous excavators.

Responsibilities

Design and own core geometry and kinematics libraries that teams across the autonomy stack rely on to represent coordinate frames, transforms, and machine motion consistently
Build pose and trajectory APIs that return machine state, including arm joint positions, at any timestamp, across machine types and sensor configurations
Develop infrastructure that brings offline estimates into resimulation and training and runs regression tests against reference estimates, working in partnership with estimation experts
Build monitoring that detects when a sensor on a working machine has shifted out of calibration
Build storage and versioning for maps of sites that change every day
Diagnose issues from machines working on live job sites and optimize software performance, using recorded data, simulation, and testing on physical machines

Required

4+ years of professional software engineering experience, or a substantial record of shipping production systems or libraries that other engineers depend on
Working knowledge of linear algebra and 3D rigid-body transforms, including rotations, coordinate frames, and composing transformations
Ability to implement and test numerical code from an algorithm engineer’s specification, including reasoning about numerical precision, boundary conditions, and correctness
Strong production software skills in Rust or modern C++. Our production stack is primarily Rust, and we will support experienced C++ engineers as they ramp up
Strong debugging and performance-analysis skills, including tracing problems across components and building tests and diagnostics to reproduce failures and prevent regressions
A degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Ways to stand out
One or more of the following:
A track record of building shared libraries or APIs adopted by other engineering teams
Experience shipping software on robots, vehicles, or other machines in the field
Production experience with Rust, including using types to enforce units, coordinate frames, or similar correctness guarantees
Experience with numerical optimization software
