2027 Internship Onboard Infrastructure Engineer, ML Inference
Bedrock Robotics Inc, San Francisco, CA
The role
The Onboard Infrastructure team builds the core engine of Bedrock’s autonomous heavy machinery — where safety, real-time control, and millisecond-level responsiveness are non-negotiable. As an Onboard Infrastructure Intern, you will bridge frontier AI and real-time execution by integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models into our core stack, ensuring multi-billion parameter multi-modal models run within strict, deterministic deadline budgets on edge compute.
What you will do
- Integrate open-source and proprietary LLM/VLA models into our onboard Rust middleware stack alongside existing perception, planning and control pipelines.
- Profile and optimize model execution using TensorRT, vLLM, ExecuTorch or custom edge inference runtimes tailored for NVIDIA Jetson Thor.
- Streamline sensor tokenization (cameras, LiDAR) to feed real-time streams directly to models without latency spikes in vehicle control loops.
