TerraFirma - Career Fair

About the 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, we’re automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer. Our mission is to apply the engineering mindset that enabled space exploration and mass manufacturing to infrastructure, unlocking a new era in how the world builds.

Why TerraFirma

We're a small, fast-moving team building autonomous heavy equipment from the ground up — hardware, perception, embedded systems, and the software that lets humans control robots doing real physical work in the real world. If you want your work to show up on an actual job site, not just in a demo, this is that kind of company.

What We're Hiring For

We're growing across engineering and are especially interested in students and new grads with backgrounds in:

• Software Engineering (full-stack, real-time systems, robotics control interfaces)
• Perception & Machine Learning (computer vision, sensor fusion, autonomy)
• Embedded Systems (firmware, real-time control, hardware integration)
• Electrical Engineering (PCB design, power electronics, hardware bring-up)
• Mechanical Engineering (design, DFMA, manufacturing)
• Robotics & Autonomy (broadly — if you've built something that moves in the real world, we want to talk)

What We're Looking For

• A genuine builder mentality — comfortable in ambiguity, wants ownership, not looking for a narrow lane
• Strong technical fundamentals in your area, whether from coursework, research, or personal projects
• Real interest in hard, physical engineering problems, not just software in the abstract
• Open to relocating to Austin, TX

Internships & Full-Time

We're hiring for both internships and full-time roles. Tell us which you're interested in and what you're excited to work on.
