About company
Bedrock Ocean Exploration
Bedrock Ocean builds and operates autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that collect georeferenced ocean-floor data at commercial scale. We deliver bathymetric and imagery data products to customers through our own platform, and we’re scaling toward continuous, around-the-clock data collection campaigns spanning months at a time. Keeping vehicles in the water and data flowing reliably is a core engineering problem and this role owns the reliability of the systems on both ends of that pipeline. Headquartered in Richmond, California, Bedrock Ocean Exploration is building autonomous ocean intelligence that will enable the ocean economy to solve the world’s most pressing challenges in maritime security, infrastructure, energy, and climate. Our modular architecture, driven by Siren (autonomous underwater vehicles), Trident (command and control), and Mosaic (subsea data fusion), delivers entirely new intelligence capabilities for government and commercial partners. Missions mobilize from any vessel of opportunity in 24 to 72 hours, and our automated pipeline returns comprehensive insights in hours, not weeks like the incumbents, keeping crews safe on shore while cutting cost and time.
