Robotics Application Engineer

• Data-Driven Evaluation: Run evaluations on site data to predict autonomous performance and validate release readiness before the buckets start digging. - Real-Time Problem Solving: Debug complex issues across the entire stack—from hydraulic sensors and compute hardware to high-level behavior. Employ a breadth of technical knowledge to dig into both onboard and offboard code to keep the mission moving. - Technical Strategy: Collaborate closely with Partnerships to identify new customer sites that align with our product roadmap and provide technical feedback to our engineering team to influence the next generation of Bedrock systems. - Customer Partnership: Translate "robot-speak" into value. You will lead discussions on site progression, explain how the system integrates into our customers’ work, and how to maximize its performance on a job site. What We’re Looking For:

• B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. - 5+ years of professional experience in a technical role focused on keeping critical onboard and off-board systems operating smoothly

• Hands-on experience with deployed robotics is a massive plus

Your Technical Toolkit:

We need a generalist who can navigate the complexities of a modern autonomous system. - Software - Proficiency in Python, Rust, C++, etc, Linux. Experience with version control and deploying code in "live" environments. - Systems - Strong understanding of robotics stacks – sensor fusion (LiDAR, GNSS, IMU), computer vision, motion planning, controls, embedded systems. - Hardware - Ability to troubleshoot electrical systems, CAN bus communication, and interact with industry debug tools. - Data - Experience with data visualization and analytical tools to turn raw logs into performance metrics. Who You Are:

• Adaptable: You are as comfortable in a hard hat and boots as you are in a terminal window. - Decisive: You can make high-stakes technical decisions onsite to minimize downtime. - Communicator: You can explain a Kalman Filter to a developer and a cycle-time improvement to a site foreman with equal clarity. - Willing Traveler: You love the "field" and are ready to be where the work is. Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF or NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
