Job description

JOIN THE TEAM BRINGING ADVANCED AUTONOMY TO THE BUILT WORLD

At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.

We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.

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.

Machine Learning Engineer:  Evaluation

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’re looking for a highly motivated engineer with experience evaluating complex ML systems deployed in the real world. Your Mission: Translate the infinite nuance of the built world into actionable, AI-native evaluations that accelerate Bedrock Operator adoption.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in building evaluation systems and designing and executing statistical tests to gauge performance deltas between system iterations. More importantly, you’ve iterated on complex ML systems run in production environments, and you understand the complexities that come with it.

DESIGN AND MAINTAIN EVAL SYSTEMS

  • Build pipelines for measuring system performance – across open loop and closed loop simulation, hardware in the loop systems, and field data from Bedrock Operator equipped machinery. Excite other teams to gain insights earlier in the development cycle through streamlined workflows.

DEVELOP METRICS

  • Connect product goals and system behavior - by bridging real-world specification to measurable indicators from logged data. Empower confident decision making from parameter tuning to program planning by slicing through the noise and delivering objective insights.

CLASSIFY DATA SOURCES FOR TRAINING AND TESTING:

  • Implement infrastructure and classifiers - to self-annotate data and allow creation of datasets for a variety of training and evaluation use cases. Leverage models to source rich annotations for massive datasets to accelerate model iteration.

PREDICT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

  • Model metrics and interpret results - from various sources ranging from raw sensor data to key leading indicators. Determine whether new construction sites pose hidden challenges and drive business decisions about deployment readiness.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Engineers who are currently Senior or Staff level with 5+ years of professional software engineering, data science, or research experience
  • 2+ years of professional experience analyzing modern ML or robotics system performance on real-world problems
  • Proficiency in Python and a data warehouse query language and comfort with development on infrastructure within parallelized cloud-based frameworks
  • Strong statistical analysis skills (e.g. classification, model fit bias determination, hypothesis testing, and uncertainty quantification)
  • Experience working with large datasets

***Bonus points: We’re especially interested in engineers who have applied statistical backgrounds to ML research or real-world robotics applications.
