Bedrock Robotics is a company that develops autonomous systems and machine intelligence for heavy construction equipment, enabling continuous, safer, and more productive on-site operations. Its flagship offering (the Bedrock Operator) retrofits or integrates with everyday machinery to provide perception, control, and adaptive autonomy so machines can operate day or night, reduce rework, and improve jobsite safety and productivity. The company targets construction and infrastructure teams with hardware and software solutions informed by extensive field hours and engineering experience from autonomous vehicles.

📋 Description

• Architect and maintain the embedded Linux stack for our NVIDIA Jetson platform, including board bring-up, kernel configuration, and OS customization • Develop and optimize low-level drivers for high-bandwidth sensors such as cameras and lidars, ensuring low-latency, low-overhead data ingestion • Implement system services including OTA updates, secure provisioning, telemetry, and system health monitoring • Manage Linux userspace configuration (device management, networking, process management, time synchronization) • Optimize system performance across CPU and GPU, leveraging CUDA where appropriate • Harden the platform for mixed-criticality real-time workloads using PREEMPT_RT, process isolation, and security best practices

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of embedded Linux experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or high-performance embedded environments • Expert knowledge of Linux systems programming, including kernel, device drivers, and hardware interfaces • Strong experience with Linux services and userspace tooling (systemd, udev, networkd, shell scripting) • Proficiency in C, C++, or Rust, with enthusiasm to work primarily in Rust • Proven technical leadership: owning projects, driving design decisions, mentoring engineers, and collaborating cross-functionally • Experience with the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem (JetPack) • Professional experience using Rust in embedded Linux environments • Background in robotics or autonomous vehicles, including CUDA-accelerated sensor pipelines • Experience with real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT) and tuning mixed-criticality systems • Familiarity with building custom Linux distributions using Yocto / OpenEmbedded.

🏖️ Benefits

• Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF or NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
