Civil Engineer - Entry Level Position at KPFF Consulting Engineers | Austin

At TerraFirma, we are revolutionizing the way earth is moved in the construction industry. Established by former SpaceX engineers and supported by Bain Capital Ventures, we are bringing automation to construction, making it quicker, more affordable, and safer.Our Vision & MissionDuring our time at SpaceX, we were integral to creating the largest rocket ever built, launching the biggest satellite constellation, and providing connectivity to millions globally. Our key takeaway was that infrastructure is pivotal.At Starbase, we discovered that the main hurdle to executing Mars missions wasn't the rocket but the slow, costly, and complex nature of developing the necessary infrastructure. The absence of buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management created significant delays and resource constraints.From a fundamental perspective, this inefficiency is unacceptable. There should be a more streamlined approach to establishing the foundations for progress. This revelation led us to realize that the engineering mindset that propelled space exploration and mass manufacturing could also be applied to infrastructure. By harnessing simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation in construction, we can usher in a new era of building.Accelerating infrastructure catalyzes progress in every sector, creating a sustainable mechanism to address humanity's most pressing challenges.
