Berkeley, California, United States Terranova Full time

Company Description
Backed by leading climate and American dynamism investors, Terranova builds intelligent robotic systems to terraform the Earth itself - lifting land, restoring wetlands, and protecting critical infrastructure from floods and sea-level rise.

Our mission is to preserve the built environment, create new habitats, and usher in an era of abundance. Our work supports climate resilience, disaster recovery, and defense across the United States and beyond.

We're assembling a world-class team that wants to work on something real, physical, and civilization-scale. If you want your work to reshape the world (literally), this is the place to do it.

What To To Expect
Terranova seeks a Senior Systems Integration Engineer to join our core engineering team. The ideal candidate has a passion for their craft and can go deep on design and analysis while maintaining a systems-level view across mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines. This person thrives in a startup environment - owning problems end-to-end, moving fast, and building machines that survive the real world.

You'll lead projects from concept through field deployment: designing, analyzing, fabricating, and testing large-scale robotic systems that operate in the most demanding environments on Earth. Expect to be hands-on, spend long hours in the factory and in the field working alongside technicians and operators.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own integration and design for our large robotic machinery
  • Lead design reviews and guide projects through prototyping, testing, and initial production
  • Mentor junior engineers, raising the bar for technical rigor and speed
  • Collaborate closely with embedded, mechanical, controls software, and field teams to deliver integrated, field-ready systems
  • Drive failure analysis, testing, and iterative improvement based on real-world data

Preferred Skills And Experience

  • 5-10 years of professional mechanical engineering or electrical engineering experience in machinery, robotics, or heavy equipment
  • Track record of developing engineered equipment into full commercialization
  • Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through design-build-test cycles
  • Strong CAD proficiency (OnShape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or NX)
  • Hands-on fabrication and prototyping skills - you enjoy working in the shop
  • Deep mechanical intuition and ability to design from first principles
  • Experience in electromechanical controls, hydraulics
  • Experience in high voltage AC power conversion systems and battery powered systems
  • Comfortable with the pace and intensity of early-stage startup life, including long workweeks, and extended field hours
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • U.S. permanent residency required

Nice To Have Skills

  • Familiarity with C++, Python, or similar for controls or simulation
  • PCB design (Altium)
  • Proven project management capabilities with multiple concurrent workstreams
  • Experience with compliance, HAZOP, and FMEA tools for machine safety
  • Embedded systems design
