We arethe world’s first mesh energy infrastructure, uniting communities through resilient, sustainable, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.\nTorus has raised over $267 million from investors like Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ and Origin Ventures. The investments are helping to accelerate deployment of modular power plants across utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors. This investor confidence reflects the strength of our team, technology as well as the scale of the problem we are solving.\nAt Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports and strengthens our electrical grid, critical systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.\nAbout the Role\nThe Network Engineer II designs, builds, and validates the network behind Torus Protect, the dedicated security technology deployed in every Torus Station and Torus Site. Protect is designed to keep our deployed energy infrastructure secure, and the network layer is what makes that work reliably in the field, at scale.\nThis is a technical role for someone with strong networking fundamentals (routing, switching, and segmentation) who wants to grow into production-scale deployments. You will analyze site requirements, design and test the network configurations that go into each deployment, build automation that makes those configurations repeatable, and diagnose root causes across a multi-site fleet. You will validate your work on site on occasion, including hands-on commissioning and physical-layer verification. You will work alongside senior network and security engineers, who review your designs against the broader Protect architecture, and you will take on more ownership as you grow.\nWho You Are\nYou build technology people can rely on, and when it breaks, you find out why. You write down what you learn so the next engineer doesn’t start from zero.\nYou ask before you push back. You find out what others know about the environment before you reject a design or change a config, and you assume good intent.\nYou say it early and directly. You flag risks and missed windows as soon as you see them, give clear feedback, and praise good work openly.\nYou build on strengths. You look for what each teammate does well and use it to cover the team’s gaps.\nYou lead with the answer. Incident updates, change requests, and runbooks open with the status and the action needed.\nYou move fast and test first. You automate repeatable work and validate before rollout.\nYou think in systems. Network, compute, software, and security decisions depend on each other, and on power and cooling at the site. You use telemetry and logs to make the call, and when a technical preference conflicts with what the customer needs, the customer wins.\nResponsibilities\nDeployment and commissioning\nDevelop and execute Shield commissioning procedures for new Torus Station deployments, including Catalyst switch bring-up and router/firewall bring-up\nDesign, stage, configure, and validate Shield Security Routers (Ubuntu, dual-NIC, Tailscale, EDR/MDM enrollment) before field shipment\nDesign, verify and troubleshoot VLAN configuration and reachability across the Shield segments (Security Router, Maintenance, BESS, FESS) during site turn-up\nAnalyze commissioning results and deviations accurately, escalate anything that fails validation, and recommend design changes\nPhysical Layer and Records\nBuild and maintain as-built cable maps, port maps, and labeling for switches, patch panels, and fiber enclosures\nVerify optics, DACs, and fiber types against the design before install (media type, reach, vendor coding compatibility, MPO polarity) and flag mismatches early\nKeep accurate records of IP and VLAN assignments, device configs, and firmware versions\nParticipate in rack-and-stack, patching, and link validation during site turn-up to validate the design in the field\nNetwork operations and support\nMonitor network health across deployed sites (WAN, Starlink and cellular connectivity, tunnel status, switch and firewall status)\nAnalyze and troubleshoot connectivity issues, including WAN failover, VPN tunnel drops, and VLAN or ACL misconfigurations, and determine root cause \nSupport and help design the out-of-band management network (console servers, cellular OOB path, break-glass access procedures)\nOwn root-cause analysis for assigned incidents and support the senior network and security engineers during incident response\nTrack and manage tickets through resolution, with clear handoff notes\nConfiguration and change management\nDevelop, test, and apply standardized configuration templates to switches, routers, and firewalls (Cisco and Arista) under change control\nTest and validate firmware and software updates before fleet rollouts, and assist with deployment\nDesign and test Meraki-to-Catalyst migration activities, including cutover prep, testing, and post-migration validation\nDesign, configure, and test edge routing and address translation (BGP and BFD sessions, NAT, MLAG and StackWise) with senior review \nSecurity hygiene\nHelp design and enforce segmentation and VPN ACL policies, especially for OT devices that cannot run standard agents\nAnalyze and recommend firewall rule changes and reviews on Palo Alto platforms under senior guidance\nVerify and analyze EDR and MDM agent health and enrollment on Shield devices\nAnalyze routine configuration audits and vulnerability remediation\nFollow and help maintain Shield security policies, including the communication device policy\nDocumentation and compliance support\nCreate and update network diagrams, runbooks, and commissioning checklists\nPrepare technical documentation and evidence that maps network control to IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and CMMC assessments\nDocument known issues, lessons learned, and troubleshooting procedures for the team\nRequired Experience\n2-5 years of experience in a network engineering, network administration, or IT

NAT\nHands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting enterprise switches, routers, or firewalls (Cisco or Arista preferred, but equivalent vendor experience is fine)\nFamiliarity with VPN concepts, such as site-to-site tunnels and remote access\nWorking familiarity with fiber and copper cabling and optics (SFP/SFP+/SFP28, DAC, single-mode vs multimode)\nExperience with the Linux command line, including basic networking tools (ip, ping, traceroute, tcpdump, iptables or nftables)\nAbility to read network diagrams and write clear technical documentation\nStrong troubleshooting
