The Boring Company builds safe, fast-to-dig, low-cost transportation, utility and freight tunnels — solving traffic with Loop, powered by the Prufrock tunnel boring machine. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
This role will own the design and development of AC power systems for our tunnel boring machines and supporting equipment. The engineer will work directly with manufacturing, mechanical, controls, and field teams to design power systems that are practical to build, operate, troubleshoot, and continuously improve.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline
- Experience designing AC power systems, preferably medium- and high-voltage distribution for industrial equipment, switchgear, substations, E-Houses, PDCs, or other manufactured electrical products
- Strong understanding of transformers, switchgear, breakers, protection, MCCs, VFDs, motors, grounding, and electrical distribution
- Experience creating engineering deliverables such as single-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment specifications, cable schedules, BOMs, and design calculations
- Experience working closely with manufacturing or production teams to support electrical builds, troubleshoot hardware, and incorporate test/build feedback into the design
More about this role
The Boring Company is working to disrupt the economics of tunnel construction by designing better machines, automating traditionally manual processes, and vertically integrating more of the systems required to build tunnels. Driving tunneling cost down and throughput up is critical to making underground transportation feasible and scalable, with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
