Job description

Overview

Engineering Interns will be given almost as much responsibility as a regular employee. At The Boring Company, 'ownership' is one of our values and we expect all employees (interns included) to own their projects. If hired, you will work in a fast paced environment where everyone is working towards the common goal of revolutionizing transportation.

Teams and Responsibilities

• Mechanical Engineering (Bastrop & Vegas): 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.
• Electrical Engineering (Bastrop & Vegas): Assist in the design, implementation, and maintenance of electrical instrumentation in tunnels and on tunnel boring machines.
• Software Engineering (Bastrop & Vegas): 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.
• Civil Engineering (Bastrop & Vegas): Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D to assist in the preparation of civil engineering details, design plans, reports, and meeting exhibits.
• Test Engineering (Bastrop Only): Design and conduct experiments that serve to optimize the tunneling process (increase speed, reduce cost) and machine reliability.
• Integration Engineering (Bastrop Only): 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.
• Field Engineering Operations (Vegas Only): 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.

Basic Qualifications

• 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).

Preferred Skills And Experience

• 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.
