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.\nThis 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.\nResponsibilities\nOwn 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\nDevelop single-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, equipment specifications, and bills of materials\nPerform electrical calculations including equipment sizing, cable sizing, short-circuit, load flow, voltage drop, grounding, and protection coordination\nSelect and integrate transformers, switchgear, breakers, relays, MCCs, VFDs, motors, and other power-distribution equipment\nWork directly with manufacturing technicians and engineers to resolve build issues and ensure electrical designs are practical, reliable, and manufacturable\nSupport electrical inspection and testing of completed assemblies, troubleshoot failures, and drive design changes based on test results\nOwn engineering changes, drawing revisions, component substitutions, and design updates throughout the product lifecycle\nDevelop and improve electrical architectures that increase machine reliability, simplify manufacturing, and support greater automation of tunneling operations\nBasic Requirements & Preferred Experience\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline\nExperience designing AC power systems, preferably medium- and high-voltage distribution for industrial equipment, switchgear, substations, E-Houses, PDCs, or other manufactured electrical products\nStrong understanding of transformers, switchgear, breakers, protection, MCCs, VFDs, motors, grounding, and electrical distribution\nExperience creating engineering deliverables such as single-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment specifications, cable schedules, BOMs, and design calculations\nExperience working closely with manufacturing or production teams to support electrical builds, troubleshoot hardware, and incorporate test/build feedback into the design\nCulture\nWe're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.\nBenefits\nWe offer employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a competitive amount of equity for all permanent employees.\nThe Boring Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with The Boring Company is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3519,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Transport Infrastructure","Construction"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T20:10:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":69,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":0.8,"age_days":44,"expected_fill_days":353,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T19:32:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9005,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1836395},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1836395"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthe-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fthe-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fthe-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/the-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthe-boring-company-electrical-engineer-power-systems"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1260169}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"boringcompany.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1260169},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
