Electrical Systems Integration Engineer

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.
• Supplier & Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for external suppliers, managing the procurement of custom harnesses, sensors, and controllers from specification through to delivery.
• Project Management: Manage integration timelines, track technical risks, and lead "bring-up" phases for prototype builds.
• Troubleshooting & Validation: Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN tools to diagnose and resolve complex system-level electrical issues during lab and field testing.
• Full-Lifecycle Harness Design: Develop complex 2D schematics and 3D wire routings for autonomous sensor suites, compute platforms, and power distribution units.
• High-Speed Data Integrity: Specify and integrate specialized cabling (Shielded Twisted Pair, Coax, Differential Pairs) for protocols like GMSL, 100/1000BASE-T1, and 10G ethernet
• Component Selection: Source and validate connectors, terminals, seals, and shielding materials suitable for a construction environment
• EMI/EMC Mitigation: Implement advanced shielding and grounding strategies to protect sensitive sensor data from the high-frequency noise generated by the autonomous compute and vehicle alternators.

Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or a related field.
• Experience: 7+ years of experience in vehicle or heavy machinery electrical systems integration.
• Technical Proficiency:
• Deep understanding of high-speed SerDes (GMSL/FPD-Link) and Automotive Ethernet .
• Hands-on experience with CAN/LIN network design and debugging.
• Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g., Cadonix Arcadia, Mentor Graphics Capital,, Zuken E3.series, or ) and 3D routing tools (e.g., OnShape CATIA V5/V6 Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or Siemens NX ).
• Project Leadership: Proven ability to manage multi-phase engineering projects and coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Vendor Relations: Experience managing harness vendors from initial RFQ through DFM (Design for Manufacturing) cycles.
• Manufacturing Knowledge: Deep understanding of harness manufacturing processes, including crimp validation (cross-sectioning), ultrasonic welding, and harness "formboard" assembly.
• Environmental Protection: Experience selecting appropriate sleeving (braided, corrugated, heat-shrink) and sealing methods based on thermal requirements and exposure to the environment, fluids, and debris.
• Testing & Validation: Ability to perform continuity testing, insulation resistance testing (Hi-Pot), and TDR (Time-Domain Reflectometry) for high-speed data line validation.
• Rapid Prototyping: Ability to build "first-article" harnesses by hand, including professional-grade crimping, de-pinning, and soldering.
