Software Engineer, Simulation

About this role

Bedrock is seeking a Software Engineer to design and scale high-fidelity simulation environments for autonomous construction machinery. You'll build physics-accurate simulators that bridge the sim-to-real gap, enabling ML-driven autonomy validation and testing at scale across heavy equipment.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain high-fidelity 3D simulation environments for autonomous construction machines
• Create ML-driven autonomy evaluation and safety validation systems within the simulator
• Improve physics realism and computational performance, including terrain deformation modeling
• Implement scene generation and neural rendering techniques to enhance simulation accuracy
• Write production-quality C++ code and build simulation content for real-world testing scenarios
• Collaborate with autonomy and robotics teams to close the sim-to-real gap

What they're looking for

• C++ (4+ years professional experience)
• 3D simulation engines or frameworks (Unreal, Unity, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Omniverse)
• Physics simulation and numerical modeling
• Robotics simulation
• Neural rendering techniques (Gaussian splats, NeRFs)
• ML systems evaluation
• Rust (preferred)
• Software architecture and production systems design

Benefits

• Work on cutting-edge autonomous systems with real-world construction impact
• $350M funded company with industry veteran leadership
• Collaborative environment pairing engineers with construction domain experts
• Location flexibility for candidates in SF or NY offices
• Focus on meaningful infrastructure problems at scale
