About the company
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.
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.
Responsibilities
•
Own the electrical design of AC power systems for tunnel boring machines, including medium- and high-voltage distribution, switchgear, transformers, MCCs, drives, motors, protection, and controls interfaces
•
Develop single-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, equipment specifications, and bills of materials
•
Perform electrical calculations including equipment sizing, cable sizing, short-circuit, load flow, voltage drop, grounding, and protection coordination
•
Select and integrate transformers, switchgear, breakers, relays, MCCs, VFDs, motors, and other power-distribution equipment
•
Work directly with manufacturing technicians and engineers to resolve build issues and ensure electrical designs are practical, reliable, and manufacturable
•
Support electrical inspection and testing of completed assemblies, troubleshoot failures, and drive design changes based on test results
•
Own engineering changes, drawing revisions, component substitutions, and design updates throughout the product lifecycle
•
Develop and improve electrical architectures that increase machine reliability, simplify manufacturing, and support greater automation of tunneling operations
Basic Requirements & Preferred Experience
•
