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
As a Field Mechanical Engineer focused on machine integration, you will design and implement practical mechanical upgrades that help Prufrock systems operate safely, reliably, and efficiently in real-world field conditions. This role blends hands-on field engineering with mechanical design work, including developing and integrating components such as sensor brackets, access hardware, valve handles, guards, mounts, fixtures, and other machine-interface hardware.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering
- 1+ years of experience in design, build and testing
- Proficiency using SolidWorks
- Basic proficiency in machine design
- Experience in creating manufacturing drawings
- Strong teamwork skills with a proven ability to effectively interact and collaborate with other engineering disciplines
More about this role
The Boring Company is revolutionizing urban transportation by building an underground network of tunnels to eliminate soul-crushing traffic.
As a Field Mechanical Engineer focused on machine integration, you will design and implement practical mechanical upgrades that help Prufrock systems operate safely, reliably, and efficiently in real-world field conditions. This role blends hands-on field engineering with mechanical design work, including developing and integrating components such as sensor brackets, access hardware, valve handles, guards, mounts, fixtures, and other machine-interface hardware.
You will work directly on and around the machine to understand requirements, take measurements, develop concepts, validate fit and function, and support fabrication, installation, and iteration in the field. The focus is on practical execution: identifying what is needed, designing solutions that can be built and installed quickly, integrating them cleanly with existing machine systems, and ensuring the machine continues to perform in demanding operating environments.
- Design, modify, and implement practical mechanical solutions for machine operations, including brackets, mounts,...
