2027 Internship Sensor Systems Engineer
San Francisco, CAInternPosted 1mo ago
About the role
Internship focusing on sensor selection, placement analysis, and validation for new machine platforms in Bedrock Robotics' autonomous construction equipment fleet.
Responsibilities
- Work at the intersection between sensor physics, autonomy systems architecture, mechanical integration and design.
- Analyze sensor coverage, occlusion, and blind spots for candidate sensor suites on new machine types
- Build or extend tooling that models field of view, range, and coverage geometry
- Run trade studies weighing performance against cost, durability, and mounting constraints
- Prototype mounting concepts and validate coverage assumptions on actual machines
- Turn your analysis into sensor requirements and specs the hardware team can build to
- Work across perception, hardware, and safety to make sure the suite serves everyone downstream
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in an engineering or engineering-adjacent discipline such as mechanical, electrical, physics, mechatronics, robotics, or computer science (or bringing equivalent hands-on experience)
- Solid grasp of 3D geometry, coordinate frames, and transforms
- Python for analysis and tooling
- CAD fluency - enough to reason about where hardware physically goes
- Willingness to go to mock construction sites and test sensor configurations
