Bedrock Robotics Sensor Hardware Test intern working alongside the test engineering team to characterize and validate sensors powering autonomous excavators. Own a hands-on project involving sensor hardware testing end-to-end with direct impact on hardware selection.

Responsibilities

As 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.
Build and iterate on test fixtures and benchtop setups - mechanical mounts, wiring harnesses, DAQ integration - used to characterize camera, lidar, and other sensor hardware
Run structured sensor test campaigns in the lab, following defined test procedures and capturing repeatable, well-documented data
Help safely deploy test setups and instrumentation out at our field site, and support live field test campaigns on active construction equipment
Develop tools to automate data collection, process raw sensor logs, and summarize results against pass/fail criteria
Help scope and select test equipment (light meters, targets, DAQ hardware, valves and actuators for environmental or fluid test rigs) for new test setups
Support electrical and mechanical debugging of test hardware, including wiring, sensor interfacing, and basic CAD work for fixture design
Document test methods, results, and findings, and present conclusions to the test engineering team to inform sensor selection and system design decisions
