Job description

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. We are the worlds 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.

Torus 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.

At 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.

About the Role

The Electrical Test Engineer verifies our mission at the bench. You'll design, build and test the automated test systems that prove our electrical equipment works (1000v and lower). Energy storage, LV power distribution, grid-tied inverters, motor drives, and control panels all have to pass through your testing gauntlet before they leave our warehouse. Every product that ships has been thoroughly vetted by systems you designed and procedures you built. This role is based at GigaOne in Salt Lake City, on a growing team, working in an environment where your testing catches problems early and keeps quality relentless.

Who You Are

• You care about work that matters. The idea of building energy systems that protect communities and stabilize the grid isn't a nice-to-have, it's why you're here.
• You say what you think, directly and early. You don't bury the lead, you don't wait for permission to raise a problem, and you give feedback the same way you'd want to receive it.
• You move fast without cutting corners. You know the difference between speed that creates momentum and speed that creates rework. You hold both standards at once.
• You own your work end to end. You don't hand things over the fence. You follow through, ask questions when something's unclear, and take responsibility when something's off.
• Strong opinions, loosely held. You're optimistic about hard problems. You advocate for what you believe is right and keep an open mind when collaborators suggest reasons for a change.
• You think in systems. You understand that your work connects to other people's work, and you make decisions with that in mind.
• You thrive in a "fail fast" environment. You don't need a lot of management to do great work. You need clear context, good people around you, mentorship as you grow, and room to figure things out.
• You work with a bias toward progress. You know what you're working toward, you can see the board, and you move the right things forward without waiting to be told what's next.
