Bedrock Robotics The 2027 Internship Simulation Engineer at Bedrock Robotics researches and implements neural rendering methods to improve construction-site simulation imagery. They integrate these outputs into the simulation pipeline to enhance autonomous system training.

Responsibilities

Before an autonomous excavator digs its first trench on a new site, it's already dug thousands in simulation. The Simulation team builds the virtual environments our autonomy stack trains and tests against — and the closer sim looks and behaves like the real world, the faster we move. Neural rendering is the next step: replacing hand-authored assets and approximations with learned representations that capture the visual complexity of real jobsites — dust, lighting, deformable terrain, heavy equipment in motion. As our Simulation intern, you'll push neural rendering techniques into our sim pipeline and measure whether they actually close the visual gap that matters for downstream autonomy performance.
Research, implement, and benchmark neural rendering methods (NeRF, 3D Gaussian splatting, or related techniques) for generating realistic construction-site imagery within our simulation stack
Train models on real-world site data captured by our fleet and evaluate visual fidelity, temporal consistency, and render speed
Integrate neural rendering outputs into the simulation pipeline so perception and planning teams can train and test against them
Build evaluation metrics and tooling that quantify how well rendered scenes match real fleet data — and whether that improvement transfers to autonomy performance
Identify and address failure modes: dynamic objects, deformable terrain, dust, harsh lighting, and other construction-specific challenges
Document findings, limitations, and a recommendation on where neural rendering should (and shouldn't) replace traditional sim assets

Qualification

Currently pursuing a BSReasonable Accommodations

Required

Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in computer science, computer graphics, robotics, or a related field — or bringing equivalent research or industry experience
Strong Python and hands-on experience with PyTorch (or equivalent)
Solid understanding of 3D graphics fundamentals: rendering pipelines, scene representations, camera models, and coordinate systems
Familiarity with neural scene representations (NeRF, Gaussian splatting, neural radiance fields, or related methods)
Comfort with real-world data — construction sites are messy, dusty, and nothing like an indoor dataset

Preferred

Published work or substantial project experience in neural rendering, novel view synthesis, or differentiable rendering
Experience with simulation engines (Unreal, Unity, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, or similar)
Background in autonomous vehicle simulation or synthetic data generation
Familiarity with C++ and GPU programming (CUDA, OpenGL, Vulkan)
