Bedrock Robotics Internship role as Sensor Systems Engineer responsible for sensor selection and placement analysis for new machine platforms. Tasks include sensor coverage analysis, trade studies, prototyping mounting concepts, and defining sensor requirements.

Responsibilities

Every new machine type we bring into the fleet raises the same question from scratch: which sensors, where do they go and what are they used for? The Systems / Sensors team answers it with analysis rather than guesswork, trading off coverage, cost, durability, and what will actually survive on a jobsite. As our Sensor Systems intern, you'll own sensor selection and placement analysis for a new machine platform, from first trade study to validation on real steel.
Work at the intersection between sensor physics, autonomy systems architecture, mechanical integration and design.
Analyze sensor coverage, occlusion, and blind spots for candidate sensor suites on new machine types
Build or extend tooling that models field of view, range, and coverage geometry
Run trade studies weighing performance against cost, durability, and mounting constraints
Prototype mounting concepts and validate coverage assumptions on actual machines
Turn your analysis into sensor requirements and specs the hardware team can build to
Work across perception, hardware, and safety to make sure the suite serves everyone downstream

Required

Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in an engineering or engineering-adjacent discipline such as mechanical, electrical, physics, mechatronics, robotics, or computer science (or bringing equivalent hands-on experience)
Solid grasp of 3D geometry, coordinate frames, and transforms
Python for analysis and tooling
CAD fluency - enough to reason about where hardware physically goes
Willingness to go to mock construction sites and test sensor configurations

Preferred

Experience with device physics, ray tracing, rendering or coverage simulation
Familiarity with autonomous vehicle sensor suites
Exposure to heavy equipment or off-road machinery
About This Internship
This is a fixed-term, project-based internship designed strictly for students (undergraduate or graduate) seeking resume-building experience, hands-on skill development, or industry exposure rather than a direct career launchpad. Candidates will own discrete, short-term projects that can be fully completed within the internship timeframe. Please note that while exceptional interns may occasionally be considered if business needs align, opportunities for full-time conversion are highly limited."
