TerraFirma is transforming construction through automation and bold engineering—faster, safer, and cheaper. Join us in building the future from Texas. Backed by Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
We are looking for exceptional engineers and technical specialists who can contribute across robotics, mechanical systems, electrical systems, software, controls, manufacturing, testing, and field deployment. This role is intentionally broad. You will take ownership of difficult technical problems, build and test practical solutions, and work across disciplines to help bring reliable construction automation systems into the field. Your responsibilities will depend on your strengths and TerraFirma’s needs.
What they're looking for
- Strong technical foundation in an engineering or related field
- Demonstrated ability to design, build, or troubleshoot complex systems
- High ownership, resourcefulness, and attention to detail\
- Ability to learn quickly and work across disciplines
- Strong record of technical achievement
More about this role
At TerraFirma, we’re redefining how the world moves earth for construction. Founded by former SpaceX engineers and backed by Kleiner Perkins and Bain Capital Ventures, TerraFirma is automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer.
At SpaceX, we were part of the teams that built the largest rocket in human history, launched the largest constellation of satellites ever made, and delivered connectivity to millions of people worldwide. What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything.
At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket. It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it. We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have.
From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress. That’s when we realized something important: the same engineering mindset that enabled us to tackle space exploration and mass manufacturing could be applied to infrastructure. By bringing the principles of...
