| Aspect | Independent Contractor Embedded Software Engineer | Embedded Software Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a degree in computer engineering or related field; certifications like Certified Software Development Professional (CSDP) are common | Similar credentials; often holds degrees and certifications in software or embedded systems |
| Work Environment | Freelance or contract basis, often remote or client-site | Full-time employment within a company or organization |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Used by clients across industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics | Employed by tech firms, automotive companies, and embedded systems manufacturers |
While both roles require similar technical skills and credentials, an Independent Contractor Embedded Software Engineer works on a project basis, often remotely, providing specialized expertise. An Embedded Software Developer is typically a full-time employee within a company, focusing on ongoing development and maintenance of embedded systems.

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.
Our Story & Mission
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 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.
Responsibilities
Design and architect firmware and low-level code for embedded systems and microcontrollers
Perform platform bringup for new hardware, including driver implementation, sensor integration, boot chain development, and basic networking
Own the integration, calibration, and testing of sensors both for proof-of-concept prototypes and production systems
Lead interdisciplinary teams, mentor new employees, and actively participate in the hiring process
Basic Qualifications
B.S. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
2+ years of professional or project experience with software and firmware development for embedded systems and microcontrollers
Demonstrated experience owning large scale deliverables, leading teams, and driving product roadmaps
Preferred Skills & Experience
Experience working with safety-critical or real-time systems
Experience working with embedded applications for robotics, autonomous vehicles, aerospace, automotive, or construction
Familiarity with platform and toolchain development for embedded systems
Experience building testing frameworks or designing CI/CD pipelines
Additional Requirements
Must be willing to work extended hours or weekends when needed to support critical deadlines or triage urgent deployment issues
Comfortable with working in a fast-paced startup environment
Must be willing to relocate to Austin, TX if not within commuting distance
Compensation & Benefits
Base compensation will vary based on factors such as relevant experience and education. Salaries and leveling will be determined on a case-by-case basis if an offer is extended. Our total compensation package also includes equity in TerraFirma. Relocation packages are available to help cover moving costs, if applicable.
