Autonomy Electrical Systems Architect

Georgian; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 170,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

Bedrock is seeking an Electrical Systems Integration Engineer to be the architect of the nervous system for autonomous construction machines. You will bridge high-level architecture with physical reality by designing robust power distribution, high-speed data links, and integrated sensor suites across cross-functional teams.

You will collaborate with mechanical, software, operations, and manufacturing groups to ensure seamless integration of sensors, ECUs, compute, and thermal systems into a

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in vehicle or heavy machinery electrical systems integration.
• Deep understanding of high-speed SerDes (GMSL/FPD-Link) and Automotive Ethernet.
• Hands-on CAN/LIN network design and debugging.
• Proficiency in electrical design software (Cadonix Arcadia, Mentor Graphics Capital, Zuken E3.series, OnShape CATIA V5/V6 Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, Siemens NX).

Responsibilities

• Lead physical and logical integration of the Bedrock autonomy kit onto machine platforms, ensuring EMC and signal integrity.
• Design and optimize low voltage distribution systems, including wire sizing, fuse coordination, and grounding strategies.
• Define and validate hardware-level communication for sensors and ECUs using GMSL, Automotive Ethernet, CAN, and LIN.
• Utilize 3D CAD tools to model electrical routing, connector placements, and mounting solutions.
• Act as primary technical contact for external suppliers, managing harness procurement from spec to delivery.
• Manage integration timelines, track technical risks, and lead bring-up phases for prototype builds.
• Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN tools to diagnose complex system-level issues during lab and field tests.
• Develop complex 2D schematics and 3D wire routings for autonomous sensor suites, compute platforms, and power distribution units.
• Specify and integrate cabling for protocols like GMSL, Automotive Ethernet, and 10G ethernet.
• Source and validate connectors, terminals, seals, and shielding materials for construction environments.
• Implement EMI/EMC shielding and grounding strategies to protect sensor data.
