Perception Sensor Software Engineer

About this role

Bedrock is seeking a Senior Perception Sensor Software Engineer to build and validate sensor systems for autonomous construction machinery. You'll own the sensor validation framework, develop anomaly detection models, and ensure camera, lidar, and IMU data quality for safety-critical autonomous systems.

What you'll do

• Own sensor validation framework for safety-critical autonomous construction systems
• Develop ML models and anomaly detection approaches for multi-sensor data validation
• Build data pipelines, ground-truth infrastructure, and evaluation frameworks for sensor quality
• Partner with perception and behavior teams to ensure data trustworthiness
• Detect system performance degradation and quantify impact on safe operation
• Characterize sensor data representations and corner cases

What they're looking for

• Deep learning production deployment (PyTorch or similar)
• Python and systems languages (C++, Rust)
• Raw sensor data processing (camera, lidar, IMU)
• 3D geometry and sensor calibration
• Statistical data analysis and anomaly detection
• Coordinate transforms and image re-projection
• Embedded/robotic systems experience
• Sensor physics and failure mode understanding

Benefits

• Work on safety-critical autonomous systems with real-world impact
• Collaborate with industry veterans from Waymo, Segment, and Uber Freight
• Test and deploy cutting-edge technology on heavy construction machinery
• 3-4 days onsite at Bay Area testing facility and SF office
• Part of well-funded ($350M) growth-stage company
• Flexible work arrangements for qualified candidates
