About Torus

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

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 world’s 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 Manufacturing Engineer - Machining & Fabrication will be a key player in setting up and improving our machining and precision-manufacturing processes. The Engineer is responsible for supporting the manufacturing of our BESS (Torus Pulse) and FESS (Torus Spin) products, with a focus on machined components, fixture/workholding design and fabrication, dimensional quality, and process automation. The role is responsible for designing and building fixtures and workholding, developing and optimizing machining processes, establishing inspection methods, automating manufacturing, and supporting adjacent fabrication processes. As a start up, there will be times when this role will require work outside its typical duties.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and fabricate fixtures, jigs, and workholding to support machining, assembly, and inspection operations.
• Develop, optimize, and troubleshoot CNC machining processes and programs (milling, turning, and related operations) for production parts.
• Specify, source, and implement machine tools, workholding, tooling, automated machinery, and robotics.
• Establish and maintain inspection methods — CMM programming, GD&T interpretation, and gauge design — to assure part conformance.
• Evaluate manufacturing processes by designing and conducting research programs, including capability studies (Cpk) and process validation.
• Develop manufacturing processes by studying product requirements, researching testing and measurement methods, and conferring with equipment and tooling vendors.
• Improve manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning workflow, machine utilization, space requirements, and equipment layout.
• Assure product and process quality by designing inspection and testing methods, including in-process and automated inspection.
• Identify opportunities for automation within machining, inspection, assembly, and material-handling processes.
• Develop, program, and implement automation systems (PLC-, PC-, or microcontroller-based) to improve safety, quality, and throughput.
• Provide manufacturing decision-making information by calculating production, labor, and material costs.
• Lead in the "Design for Manufacturing" and continuous improvement process through the assigned product lines, with an emphasis on machinability, fixturing, and inspectability.
• Support product development activities.
• Complete other tasks as necessary.

Required Experience

• Strong knowledge of manufacturing best practices, including Lean Manufacturing principles.
• Experience designing and fabricating fixtures, jigs, and/or workholding using SolidWorks.
• Hands-on experience building and fitting up fixtures and tooling on the shop floor.
• Experience developing and optimizing CNC machining processes.
• Experience designing modular or quick-change workholding systems.
• Hands-on machining, welding/fabricating, or CNC programming experience preferred.
• Experience with metrology equipment and methods (CMM, hand gauges, etc).
• Experience with industrial automation tools such as PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and motion systems.
• Experience optimizing production processes.
• Experience integrating robotics, automated inspection/test equipment, or control systems into manufacturing environments.
• Manufacturing/Industrial/Mechanical Engineering degree or related field is required.
• 2-5+ years related experience (or equivalent).
