About the job
What We Do

At Terabase Energy, we believe that digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in large scale solar. To fully unlock the potential of this opportunity, Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform. We work alongside project developers, owners, and engineering & construction firms to support the design, optimization, and construction of huge solar projects around the world. Our team is a blend of solar-industry veterans and newbies, thought-leaders, dreamers, software, electrical and mechanical engineers, coders, product managers, project managers, and sales and marketing professionals. We are based in Northern California, with several other offices in the United States and around the world. If all this piques your interest, we’d love to hear from you!

The Role

Do you approach the world with curiosity and ask the question ‘What if?’ Do you enjoy solving interesting engineering problems that no one has solved before through using your creativity to quickly design, build, and test solutions? We are seeking a Software Engineer for our California-based R&D team to help accelerate integration of edge devices — IoT devices, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation equipment — into our industry-leading solar construction automation products. This Software Engineer role will report to the Director of Construction Software.

You will develop, test, and maintain integrations between core software services and IoT, autonomous, and industrial automation systems. While this is not an embedded systems role, the ideal candidate will be comfortable interfacing with physical devices and should be familiar with at least some of the languages, protocols, and design patterns commonly used in IoT, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. You will primarily work with a modern Python web stack and supplementary telemetry stacks to build APIs, backend services, and integration layers that connect distributed hardware systems with our core software services.

This role also involves collaborating with field operations teams, supporting deployments and training users on systems you help build. Whether in our own test facilities or at live customer deployments, you will be testing and supporting our services in real construction environments.

This position will ideally be based in the Davis, CA area, but we are willing to consider hybrid arrangements for the right candidate.
