Internship 2026 Application / Interface Software Engineer
Bedrock Robotics
The Role
Bedrock is seeking a motivated intern to improve our autonomy testing workflows and interfaces. Over 10-12 weeks, you'll build and deploy an application to improve our real-world machine testing operations. This role offers hands-on experience with modern autonomy systems, modern build and deploy pipelines, and app frameworks and technologies. Plus the unique opportunity to see your work deployed on actual autonomous construction equipment.
You will work closely with our Apps team, product, and design to optimize the operations of our machine testing workflows. You’ll get unique insight into how world class engineers design, build, test, and deploy complex robotics software, applications, and machine learning models. Then, work with those engineers to improve the tooling they use to gain insight into machine behavior, coordinate and communicate with machine operators. You’ll also get first hand experience with professional user testing, feedback, and product iteration cycles.
Requirements
We're looking for students who are excited about modern approaches to software development, with strong fundamentals in programming:
Required:
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science, or related technical field.
- Coursework in data structure and algorithms, networking, and distributed systems
- Experience with Python, Typescript and/or Rust
- Ability to work 6 weeks in our New York City office during Summer 2026
- Strong documentation and communication skills
Preferred:
- Experience with productionalized code (prior internship experience)
- Familiarity or experience using cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, etc)
- Experience with modern web frameworks [React, Angular, Django, etc]
Ways to Stand Out:
- Hands-on experience with full stack engineering from labs, hackathons, or related work experience
- Experience working with product or design teams directly
- Track record of leading technical projects from concept to validation
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 of NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world
At Bedrock, we've assembled one of the most experienced autonomous technology teams in the industry, with deep expertise scaling breakthroughs across transportation, infrastructure, and enterprise software. Our leaders helped put the first self-driving cars on public roads at Waymo, scaled systems for Segment's $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.
While others debate the future of AI, we're deploying it in the real world. Our systems are already installed on heavy machines across the country, learning on real construction sites and working to reshape the earth with survey-grade precision and exceptional safety. This isn't a simulation—it's autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.
In just over a year, we've raised $80M, put our equipment into the field, and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. We're working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.
Here, algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers, tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If you're interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.
