Operations - Quality Engineering Lead

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 is composed of industry 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 machinery across the country, accelerating project schedules of billion-dollar infrastructure projects and improving safety on job sites. Backed by $350M in funding, 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. This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You’ll collaborate with construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can’t touch. If you're ready to apply cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us. Role Overview: We are seeking a Product Quality Engineer to establish and drive end-to-end quality strategy across hardware development and robotic fleet operations. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and field operations, ensuring product reliability, scalability, and performance from early prototyping through high-volume production and real-world deployment. You will own quality systems, metrics, and continuous improvement initiatives across the full lifecycle—spanning design, supplier quality, manufacturing execution, and field performance—while leveraging modern tools including automation, diagnostics, and AI-driven workflows. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Product & Design Quality - Lead Design for Quality initiatives, including Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) - Partner with hardware, electrical, and software engineering teams during EVT/DVT/PVT phases to ensure robust design validation - Define and enforce quality gates, risk asses
