About the role

As a Manufacturing Integration Engineer at The Boring Company, you will take ownership of mechanical subsystem builds, serving as the primary link between our Mechanical Design Engineering and R&D Production teams. You will be responsible for managing assemblies from initial design through procurement, fabrication, assembly, testing, and integration, coordinating resources, schedules, and cross-functional teams to ensure successful execution. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Own the manufacturing and integration of mechanical subsystems, driving hardware from design through fabrication, assembly, testing, and implementation
  • Serve as the liaison between Mechanical Design Engineering and R&D Production teams, reviewing technical drawings and providing feedback on manufacturability, assembly, performance, and design simplicity
  • Work directly with production teams to troubleshoot fabrication, machining, and assembly challenges while developing tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing processes
  • Manage project schedules, coordinate procurement of materials and components, track vendor lead times, and drive critical path activities to meet aggressive development timelines
  • Support prototype builds, testing, and design iterations to ensure subsystems meet overall performance and operational requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
More about this role

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
