About the role

  • These machines will be responsible for creating thousands of miles of tunnel and making tunnels a viable method of transportation.
  • A Test Engineer at The Boring Company plays a pivotal role in the development and evaluation of tunneling boring machines.
  • Their work is critical to ensuring that TBMs meet the highest standards of performance and safety for the challenging task of tunnel excavation.

Responsibilities

  • Design and conduct experiments that serve to optimize the tunneling process (increase speed, reduce cost).
  • Design and conduct experiments that validate machine reliability.
  • Develop data-based models for key tunneling parameters.

Requirements

  • Bachelor or graduate degree in physics, chemistry, math and/or engineering.
  • Hands-on hardware experience fabricating and assembling complex systems - can be in a professional, academic or recreational setting.
  • 1+ year of experience analyzing data using software (Python, Mathematica, Matlab, R, etc.).

Nice to have
