TerraClear’s mission is to free farmers from the worst jobs on the farm. Our path begins by automating the most hated job on the farm - rock picking. Rocks slow farming, damage equipment, and lead to downtime while seeding and harvesting. Solving this problem frees farmers to focus on higher-value tasks and bring their operations into a new era of farming.

Our team is a close group who believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork, the value of getting our hands dirty and learning from the farmers we serve. You will thrive at TerraClear with a positive attitude and enthusiasm.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to drive robust hardware product development for TerraClear’s transformative field mapping and autonomous rock clearance solutions. Salary Range = $108-175K.

  • Perform hands-on work to build prototype systems
  • Advance designs to commercial-level maturity and work with our manufacturing partners to bring the designs to production

Experience Required:

  • 5+ years in mobile robotics and camera hardware development, experience with off-road or agricultural applications is a plus
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, advanced degree preferred
  • Strong background in electrical system design, including power distribution, harnessing, power electronics, motor control, PCB design, and embedded systems
