Bedrock Robotics Senior and Staff Software Engineer at Bedrock Robotics building and owning onboard platform software for autonomous machines. Develop system services and runtime frameworks for fleet reliability.
Responsibilities
The 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.
We'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.
Bring up next-generation compute and sensors as we expand to new machine types
Develop the core system services that keep a fleet running reliably: software updates, lifecycle management, data logging, health monitoring, and connectivity
Architect 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
Optimize and benchmark onboard system performance across CPU, GPU, and memory for mixed-criticality, real-time workloads
Expand diagnostics and observability across the onboard stack, enabling a small team to keep a growing fleet healthy
Build internal tools, frameworks, and test infrastructure that accelerate development and validation across engineering
Lean into AI and agents, from automating development workflows to fleet analysis, triage, troubleshooting, and more.
