At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and onto real job sites. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. We retrofit the heavy equipment contractors already own, starting with excavators, so experienced crews can safely take on more projects and deliver more of the critical infrastructure our society needs.
In August 2026, Bedrock-equipped excavators began doing fully autonomous, paid work on live commercial job sites. We've more than doubled our customer base since 2025, and our machines now work with contractors across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic
In October 2026, we raised a $600M Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, bringing our total funding to nearly $1B. We're using it to put more autonomous machines to work, build the field and operations teams behind every deployment, and expand into new machine types and job-site tasks.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.
We’re looking for exceptional Software Engineers to build and scale our robotics simulation environment. Simulation is a critical foundation for autonomy at Bedrock - it allows us to validate end-to-end systems, evaluate complex and unsafe scenarios, and run testing at massive scale.
Our autonomy stack is deeply machine-learning–driven, and closing the sim-to-real gap is a core focus of this role. The simulator must accurately represent real-world physics - including terrain deformation for digging and earthmoving - while remaining efficient enough to support thousands of simulation runs. High-quality simulation directly accelerates robotics development, making this work central to our success.
Build and scale high-fidelity simulation environments for autonomous construction machines
Develop simulation systems that support ML-based autonomy, evaluation, and safety validation
Improve realism and performance to better reflect real-world behavior
Help guide our strategy in scene generation and neural rendering techniques
Write production-quality, hands-on code and build real simulation content—not just prototypes
Simulation spans many disciplines, and we don’t expect one person to do everything. Strong candidates typically bring:
A passion for large-scale, realistic simulation systems
Experience with advanced 3D simulation software
Experience evaluating systems and improving realism to support autonomy stacks
A hands-on mindset and enthusiasm for building core simulation algorithms and content
Engineering, math, or physics degree, or computer science background with demonstrated interest and strength in math and physics
4+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with proven track record of building modular, maintainable, production-quality software systems in C++
2+ years of experience with one or more 3D engines or simulation frameworks, such as: Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Blender, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Omniverse
Experience with Rust or interest in learning it
Robotics simulation background
Experience with neural rendering techniques (Gaussian splats, NeRFs)
