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. Responsibilities: • Lead the design of various fluid systems related to tunnel boring machines and associated support equipment • Develop hydraulic circuit schematics and select components to meet the hydraulic power requirements for various systems of tunnel boring machines. • Act as a subject matter expert for hydraulic design projects, providing assistance and direction to other team members as needed. • Employ competent use of judgment, hand calculations, FEA and CAD to develop and communicate designs. • Own project schedule to ensure timely completion from conception to implementation. • Communicate schedule to stakeholders and others with dependent systems, bringing attention to changes in schedule as they happen. • Constantly evaluate how the system fits into the larger picture of a working operation. Ensure that design choices are in line with the top level needs with ample consideration of future developments. • Ensure all systems are compliant with appropriate regulations such as MSHA, OSHA, NEC, NFPA, Class 1 Division 2 Hazardous Location. Basic Qualifications: • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar). • 5+ years of experience in Mechanical Engineering role or relevant position. • Experience in the design and commissioning of hydraulic systems for industrial equipment. • Proficiency in reading and understanding complex hydraulic schematics for industrial equipment. • Experience in designing hydraulic schematics using CAD tools such as HydrawCAD, Visio, etc. • Hands-on hardware experience performing fabrication, assembly and/or testing - can be in a professional, academic or recreational setting. Preferred Skills and Experience • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. • Strong teamwork skills with a proven ability to effectively interact and collaborate with other engineering disciplines. • Knowledgeable in mechatronics, mechanism design, fluid power system concepts and design, dynamics, material selection, testing methods, and common machining and fabrication processes. • Acute attention to detail.
