Jobs at TerraFirma, Inc

Own and scale the finance function, manage accounting operations, implement workflows, forecast budgets, support fundraising, and improve financial reporting.

Manage end-to-end purchasing for engineering, construction, and field operations: source components, machinery, materials, and supplies; identify substitutes; track pricing, lead times, orders, and equipment availability; manage vendors, POs, invoices, budgets, and domestic/international logistics to keep builds and deployments on schedule.

Generalist operations role supporting cross-functional initiatives across operations, strategy, business development, recruiting, finance, communications, and partnerships. Own ambiguous, high-priority projects end-to-end, build scalable processes, research complex topics, and support leadership on company-critical initiatives. Role emphasizes high ownership, strong communication, organization, and the ability to learn quickly and operate with limited direction.

Join TerraFirma to own technical projects across robotics, mechanical, electrical, software, and controls. Design, build, test, and deploy robust hardware and software for rugged construction environments, support manufacturing and field deployments, and solve cross-disciplinary integration problems.

Manage day-to-day HQ operations: coordinate vendors, shipping/receiving, inventory, IT procurement and setups, prepare sites for recruiting and demos, plan events and off-sites, troubleshoot workplace issues, and support leadership with administrative tasks.

Lead end-to-end talent acquisition: define hiring strategy with leadership, source and close engineers and operators, run technical screens, coordinate onsite interviews in Texas, manage offer negotiation and onboarding, and analyze funnel data to improve conversion and time-to-hire.

Design and implement perception systems for automated heavy machinery: integrate and calibrate advanced sensors, build real-time image/point-cloud processing and fusion pipelines, develop object-detection and ML models, support simulation/visualization, and lead sensor integration, testing, and cross-functional teams to enable collision avoidance, localization, and motion planning.

Design, prototype, and deploy rugged electromechanical systems for remote operation of heavy machinery. Create enclosures, actuators, linkages, wiring harnesses; fabricate with 3D printing and CNC; test for vibration, impact, waterproofing; collaborate with electrical, software teams, vendors, and manufacturers; maintain CAD models and build documentation.

Design and deploy real-time state estimation, sensor fusion, motion/trajectory planning, and control algorithms for multi-ton robotic construction platforms. Own C++/Python and MCU firmware codebases, build simulations and HIL setups, integrate and calibrate sensors (IMU, RTK-GPS, LiDAR, cameras, encoders), and iterate through field deployment and validation.

Design and implement firmware and low-level embedded software for robotics. Perform platform bringup, driver development, sensor integration, calibration, and testing. Lead interdisciplinary teams, mentor hires, and help shape testing frameworks, toolchains, and CI/CD practices for production and prototype systems.

Build full-stack, low-latency interfaces to remotely control autonomous heavy machinery. Prototype and implement real-time visualizations for LiDAR, 3D, and geospatial data, ensure secure networking and scalable backends, deploy production systems (Docker/Kubernetes), iterate with users, and mentor teammates.

Lead TerraFirma’s brand and marketing strategy: define narrative, manage budget and external partners, plan major announcements, amplify founders, and translate technical work into talent-, partner-, customer-, and investor-facing stories.

The Government Contracts Administrator manages contract invoicing, compliance documentation, and government reports for disaster response programs, ensuring timely and accurate delivery while maintaining clean records.
