Electrical Systems Integration Engineer
Designs and integrates the electrical systems — power distribution, wiring harnesses, and high-speed data links (GMSL, Automotive Ethernet, CAN/LIN) — for Bedrock Robotics' autonomous construction machines. Day to day this means CAD routing, EMI/EMC mitigation, managing harness vendors, and hands-on lab/field bring-up and troubleshooting.

Full description
Join the team bringing autonomy to the built world
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.
Role Summary
As an Electrical Systems Integration Engineer, you will be the "architect of the nervous system" for our next-generation autonomous construction machines. You will bridge the gap between high-level architectural theory and physical reality by designing robust power distribution networks, high-speed data links, and electrical distribution systems. This role is highly cross-functional, requiring you to collaborate with mechanical, software, operations, and manufacturing teams to ensure every sensor, actuator, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), compute, cleaning and thermal systems are seamlessly integrated into a cohesive, high-performance system.
Key Responsibilities
- Electrical Integration: Lead the physical and logical integration of the Bedrock autonomy kit onto machine platforms, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity.
- Power Distribution Architecture: Design and optimize low voltage distribution systems, including wire sizing, fuse coordination, and grounding strategies to ensure system reliability and safety.
- Communication Protocol Implementation: Define and validate hardware-level communication for sensors and ECUs using protocols such as GMSL, 100/1000BASE-T1 (Automotive Ethernet), CAN, and LIN.
- 3D CAD Design: Utilize 3D CAD tools to model electrical routing, connector placements, and mounting solutions within complex mechanical envelopes.
