About the job
At TerraFirma, we are revolutionizing the construction industry by automating earth-moving processes. Founded by innovative engineers from SpaceX and supported by Bain Capital Ventures, we are committed to making construction faster, more affordable, and safer.
Our Vision & Purpose
Our experience at SpaceX taught us that infrastructure is vital for progress. We successfully launched the largest rocket and developed a global satellite network, but the greatest challenge was constructing the necessary infrastructure. The time and resources required to build roads, power, and communication systems were far too extensive.
We realized that the engineering principles that propelled space exploration could also simplify infrastructure development. By applying methods of simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation to construction, we aim to pave the way for advancements that address humanity's most pressing issues and prepare us for future endeavors, including Mars settlement.
Role Overview
We are seeking a dynamic Program Director to lead a pivotal U. S. Government initiative focused on deploying remote-controlled heavy machinery for significant construction and remediation projects globally. You will oversee global deployments and field operations, ensuring that our proven teleoperation capabilities are implemented effectively across various real-world settings.
Key Responsibilities
Take ownership of the full program execution for a primary U. S. Government contract, managing scope, timeline, budget, compliance, and performance metrics.
Lead the global deployment activities for remote-controlled equipment operations, including staffing, logistics, maintenance, and daily operations across international projects.
Act as the main liaison for U. S. Government stakeholders and partners, effectively translating requirements into actionable plans and operational timelines.
