Embedded Hardware And Software Engineer At TerraFirma, we're redefining how the world moves earth for construction. Founded by former SpaceX engineers and backed by Bain Capital Ventures, TerraFirma is automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer. 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 simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation to construction, we can unlock a new era in how the world builds. Accelerating infrastructure unlocks progress across every domain, creating a self-sustaining engine for tackling humanity's toughest challenges. The innovations we develop on Earth will lay the groundwork for the technologies that one day make settlement on Mars possible. Job Overview In this role, you'll take hands-on ownership of the embedded hardware and software for our robots. You'll be responsible for both high-level design of custom hardware and low-level code implementation. Day-to-day work includes developing software for Linux-based systems with real-time constraints and microcontrollers for sensing and control. You'll lead platform bringup for new boards, develop drivers for new chips and sensors, and help shape TerraFirma's software testing framework and standards.
