Job description

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 540,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. Our missionis to build the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure — built to unite people and communities through resilient, secure, 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.

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology.

About the Role

Every Torus system that reduces energy costs, shields a community from an outage, or strengthens the grid begins as a drawing. As an Electrical CAD Designer, you are the translation layer between engineering intent and manufactured reality. You convert complex designs into the precise schematics and documentation packages our team builds from every day on the GigaOne floor. Your work doesn't sit in a folder; it becomes wiring, assemblies, and live systems that customers will depend on.

• Collaborate with electrical engineers and cross-functional teams to refine design and ensure manufacturability.
• Organize project drawing packages and revision control
• Build and improve CAD libraries
• Ensure compliance with relevant codes, industry standards, and safety requirements.

Required Experience

• 4-10+ years experience in electrical design, drafting or related field
• Strong background in AutoCAD Electrical
• Experience working in a fast-paced product development environment with iterative prototyping
• A passion and proven track record of designing electrical schematics
• Demonstrates a proactive and action-oriented approach to problem solving
