Bedrock Robotics Software Engineer at Bedrock Robotics developing calibration systems for sensors and articulated geometry of autonomous construction machines. Build algorithms and procedures to calibrate machines, verify accuracy, and detect calibration degradation in the field.

Responsibilities

Develop and deploy intrinsic and extrinsic calibration algorithms for our sensors (cameras, lidars, GNSS, IMU), and procedures for reasoning about machine geometry
Build calibration procedures that field teams can run without engineering involvement, on machines of varied types in active use at job sites
Own calibration verification methods used to qualify machines for autonomous operation, distinguishing a good numerical fit from accurate calibration through independent measurements and system-level testing
Define quantitative calibration quality metrics and acceptance criteria tied to machine performance
Develop methods to detect degraded calibration on working machines, partnering with Foundations engineers to run these checks across the fleet
Diagnose calibration failures across sensor and kinematic models, timing, mounting, and data quality,
Test improvements using recorded data and physical machines, working with estimation, perception, hardware, and field teams to resolve field issues

Required

4+ years of professional engineering or applied research experience in calibration, robotics, computer vision, or a related field, or a proven track record of delivering calibration systems for real-world applications
Strong foundations in linear algebra, 3D geometry, nonlinear optimization, and numerical methods
Hands-on experience developing sensor or kinematic calibration methods, including understanding the underlying models and what makes their parameters observable
Experience validating calibration accuracy beyond an optimizer’s residuals, and investigating failures using real sensor or machine data
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
A degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Ways to stand out
One or more of the following:
Experience with in-field, target less, or online calibration, or with calibrating articulated machines
Experience formulating and solving large nonlinear optimization problems, such as bundle adjustment or joint estimation of calibration, timing, and motion
Production experience with Rust
