About the role

Internship role focused on black-box testing of hardware actuators and V&V to close the sim-to-real gap for autonomous heavy equipment at Bedrock Robotics.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute black-box test plans that characterize actuator behavior on machines and test stands
  • Instrument hardware, set up data acquisition, and collect clean, trustworthy datasets
  • Characterize response behavior — latency, deadband, hysteresis, saturation — and how it shifts with temperature, load, and wear
  • Compare real machine data against simulation output and quantify where they diverge
  • Feed your findings to the controls and simulation teams as concrete model improvements
  • Automate test execution and reporting so these runs become routine

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in mechanical, computer science, electrical, aerospace, or robotics engineering — or bringing equivalent hands-on experience
  • Working understanding of controls or system identification fundamentals
  • Python for analysis and automation
  • Hands-on experience with sensors, DAQ, or test benches
  • Willingness to spend real time on machines in the field, in PPE
