AI generated summary

  • You should be pursuing an engineering degree, have prior project experience, know CAD or software tools, work well in teams, and pay attention to detail. Previous internships are a plus.
  • You will design systems for tunneling operations, assist with electrical instrumentation, analyze data, prepare engineering plans, optimize tunneling processes, and track daily activities on site.

Requirements

  • Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Civil Engineering or a related field.
  • Prior experience in mechanical, software, electrical, or construction projects (industry or school).
  • Experience with CAD, Solidworks, PLCs, digital electronics, web technologies, or software applications.
  • Strong teamwork skills with a proven ability to effectively interact and collaborate with other engineering disciplines.
  • Acute attention to detail.
  • Previous internship experience or participation in Not-a-Boring-Competition is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Design or support the design of various systems and sub-systems related to operations such as boring machine parts, support systems, support system equipment, tunnel segment production, passenger/construction vehicles and tunnel infrastructure.
  • Assist in the design, implementation, and maintenance of electrical instrumentation in tunnels and on tunnel boring machines.
  • In Bastrop, you will help build automation and application software for the next generation of tunnel boring machines (TBM), used to build new underground transportation systems and Hyperloops. This role will primarily be focused on designing and implementing tools to operate, analyze and control TBM’s. In Vegas, you will help build a completely new underground transportation system: the Las Vegas Loop. Every day we perform thousands of rides and collect gigabytes of data: within this role, you will primarily focus on designing and developing tools for collecting, analyzing and displaying insightful data and graphs for the Las Vegas Loop.
  • Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D to assist in the preparation of civil engineering details, design plans, reports, and meeting exhibits.
  • Design and conduct experiments that serve to optimize the tunneling process (increase speed, reduce cost) and machine reliability.
  • Review and provide feedback on performance, manufacturability, and simplicity of designs. Determine critical path of project schedules and drive development and implementation on those critical items.
  • Tracking and reporting on day to day activities in the tunnel and on the launch site. Assist with site surveying and determining site conditions for in-ground infrastructure.

Mission & Purpose

To solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic, roads must go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. A large network of tunnels many levels deep would fix congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company. Fast to dig, low cost tunnels would also make Hyperloop adoption viable and enable rapid transit across densely populated regions, enabling travel from New York to Washington DC in less than 30 minutes.
