About the role

Sensor Hardware Test intern focusing on characterizing and validating sensors (cameras, lidar, and related hardware) for Bedrock's autonomous excavators. Hands-on, end-to-end project ownership with field and lab testing, data automation, and collaboration with test engineering to inform sensor and system design decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Build and iterate on test fixtures and benchtop setups - mechanical mounts, wiring harnesses, DAQ integration - used to characterize camera, lidar, and other sensor hardware
  • Run structured sensor test campaigns in the lab, following defined test procedures and capturing repeatable, well-documented data
  • Help safely deploy test setups and instrumentation out at our field site, and support live field test campaigns on active construction equipment
  • Develop tools to automate data collection, process raw sensor logs, and summarize results against pass/fail criteria
  • Help scope and select test equipment (light meters, targets, DAQ hardware, valves and actuators for environmental or fluid test rigs) for new test setups
  • Support electrical and mechanical debugging of test hardware, including wiring, sensor interfacing, and basic CAD work for fixture design
  • Document test methods, results, and findings, and present conclusions to the test engineering team to inform sensor selection and system design decisions

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optics, Mechatronics, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience building or testing hardware through coursework, personal projects, or a prior internship
  • Working proficiency in Python for data processing, scripting, or automation
  • Comfortable with basic lab equipment and electrical debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, DAQ systems)
  • Willingness to work outdoors and on-site at field test location, with ability to deploy and test on active construction equipment
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for documenting technical work
