Staff Reliability Engineer

About the Company

Bedrock is moving AI out of the lab and into the real world by deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery. Backed by $350M in funding, the team is working to solve the labor shortage and accelerate infrastructure projects by bringing advanced autonomy to the built world.

Responsibilities

• Define and own hardware reliability strategy, requirements, and budgets for autonomy upfit hardware.
• Lead Design FMEAs (DFMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) across mechanical and electrical subsystems.
• Develop reliability models, block diagrams, and predictions using Weibull and life-data analysis.
• Define and execute HALT/HASS, accelerated life testing (ALT), and environmental durability programs.
• Manage Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action Systems (FRACAS) to drive root-cause investigations.
• Embed Design for Reliability (DfR) principles into design reviews and NPI stages.
• Partner with supply chain and vendors to qualify components and manage obsolescence risk.
• Build reliability data pipelines and dashboards from machine telemetry and field returns.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Physics, or Mechatronics.
• 10+ years of hardware reliability engineering experience in vehicles, heavy machinery, robotics, automotive, or aerospace.
• Deep expertise in DFMEA, FTA, reliability modeling, and accelerated life testing.
• Proficiency with statistical tools such as ReliaSoft, Minitab, Python, or R.
• Experience with structured root-cause analysis (8D, 5-Whys) and FRACAS.
