About the company
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.
About the role
As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in designing the underground infrastructure that powers some of the world’s most ambitious tunneling projects. You’ll lead the geotechnical design and analysis behind every tunnel we build in Las Vegas, while helping shape the standards and engineering approach for future projects across new cities. From ground investigations and tunnel lining design to solving complex subsurface challenges, you’ll have a direct impact on technology that’s redefining how cities move.
