Torus is building the world's first mesh energy infrastructure—resilient, sustainable power systems that strengthen electrical grids and protect communities. The company designs, manufactures, and deploys modular power plants for utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors from its 545,000-square-foot GigaOne facility in Salt Lake City. Torus has raised over $267 million from investors including Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ, and Origin Ventures.
As a Mechanical Engineer I/II, you will design, validate, and bring to life the sub-systems that enable resilient energy storage. Your work sits at the critical handoff between great engineering and great manufacturing, directly shaping how quickly and reliably Torus scales. You will own mechanical designs from concept through production, balancing speed with quality and understanding how design decisions ripple across the full product lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, document, and test sub-systems of Torus Pulse (Battery Energy Storage System) and/or Torus Spin (Flywheel Energy Storage System)
- Ensure smooth transition from design to manufacturing
- Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) initiatives with manufacturing and suppliers
- Support lifecycle development from concept through testing and production
- Solve technical problems to achieve product specifications
- Create, manage, and document critical product specifications
- Work closely with internal engineering teams and external engineering experts
- Ensure compliance with relevant codes, industry standards, and safety requirements
You will work primarily at the Salt Lake City GigaOne facility, with potential time at the Springville R&D Warehouse. This is a full-time, salaried position.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 1–5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering
- Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and design validation in a regulated industry
- Strong background in Solidworks, PDM, and CAD administration
- Proven track record of designing mechanical structures
- Proactive, action-oriented approach to problem-solving
- Strong organizational skills and disciplined workflow management
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Structural design including steel tube, steel sheet, weldments, machined components, and electrical components
- Experience in energy storage, batteries, or power systems
- Familiarity with industry standards such as UL 9540, ISO 26262, or ASME codes
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Ability to safely lift and move objects weighing up to 50 lbs
- Capable of standing, bending, and executing repetitive tasks for prolonged periods
- Ability to read, identify, and recognize details, color-coding, and fine print at close range
