2027 Internship Hardware Engineer, Machine Integration & Test
San Francisco, CAInternPosted 1mo ago
About the role
Internship role focused on designing and building the physical interfaces between Bedrock’s autonomy system and heavy machinery (40-ton excavator). Involves CAD design of brackets/enclosures, building test stands, lab testing, data capture, and collaboration with field teams to ensure robust hardware in harsh environments.
Responsibilities
- Integrate sensors, compute, and wiring onto machines alongside the hardware team
- Design brackets, enclosures, and interface hardware in CAD, then help fabricate and install them
- Build test stands for validating subsystems on the bench instead of in the field
- Run lab tests, capture data, and iterate on designs based on what breaks
- Document build and install procedures so the next machine goes faster than the last
- Close the loop with the field team on what's working and what isn't
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a BS or MS in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field — or bringing equivalent hands-on experience
- CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar)
- Genuine hands-on shop skills — you've built physical things, not just modeled them
- Basic electrical competence: harnessing, connectors, multimeter, reading a schematic
- Willingness to work on and around heavy equipment in PPE
