Staff/Senior Mechanical Engineer

Bedrock is bringing autonomy to the construction industry! We’re a group of veterans from the autonomous vehicle industry who are passionate about bringing the benefits of automation to areas in the construction industry currently underserved by the market. We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented mechanical engineer to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the entire product lifecycle, from research and design to implementation, manufacturing and integration. You will work on a variety of projects, applying your knowledge of mechanics, thermodynamics and material science to solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions.

What you'll be doing:

• Design and develop mechanical components, systems, and products using computer-aided design (CAD) software such as SolidWorks, Fusion360, CATIA, or similar programs.

• Develop and validate mechanical structures for an autonomous sensor and compute suite, ensuring robustness and performance in demanding environments.

• Collaborate closely with Industrial Designers to translate aesthetic and ergonomic requirements into manufacturable designs, optimizing for cost and assembly efficiency.

• Analyze project requirements and perform calculations to determine the feasibility, cost, and performance of new and existing equipment.

• Create and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including drawings, specifications, and reports.

• Develop and execute test plans for prototypes to ensure designs meet all necessary specifications and quality standards.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, manufacturing personnel, and project managers, to ensure seamless project execution.

• Oversee the manufacturing process for your designs, providing support, DFM adjustments, and troubleshooting issues as they arise.

• Conduct research on new materials and technologies to improve product performance and reduce costs.

What we want to see:

• 7+ years of hands-on experience in debugging and diagnosing mechatronic systems issues and working on machines (disassembling and assembling parts)

• Proactive, organized, good communication and collaboration skills

• Worked with latest sensor technology for autonomous driving platforms incl. sensor calibrations

• Experience with autonomous vehicle sensors and compute suite hardware and automotive mechanical and electrical systems is highly valued!

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with heavy construction machines including excavators, articulated dump trucks, dozers, wheel loaders, motor graders, etc…

• Experience with harness, cable, and/or piping design
