Manufacturing Engineer
The Boring Company · Bastrop, United States
The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
As a Manufacturing Integration Engineer at The Boring Company, you will take ownership of mechanical subsystem builds, serving as the primary link between our Mechanical Design Engineering and R&D Production teams. You will be responsible for managing assemblies from initial design through procurement, fabrication, assembly, testing, and integration, coordinating resources, schedules, and cross-functional teams to ensure successful execution.
This is a highly hands-on engineering role within a fast-paced R&D manufacturing environment, where you will work directly with engineers and technicians to solve complex technical challenges and accelerate the development of our Tunnel Boring Machines.
Responsibilities
- Own the manufacturing and integration of mechanical subsystems, driving hardware from design through fabrication, assembly, testing, and implementation.
- Serve as the liaison between Mechanical Design Engineering and R&D Production teams, reviewing technical drawings and providing feedback on manufacturability, assembly, performance, and design simplicity.
- Work directly with production teams to troubleshoot fabrication, machining, and assembly challenges while developing tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing processes.
- Manage project schedules, coordinate procurement of materials and components, track vendor lead times, and drive critical path activities to meet aggressive development timelines.
- Support prototype builds, testing, and design iterations to ensure subsystems meet overall performance and operational requirements.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- 1+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, hardware development, or a related field.
- Proficiency in CAD software with the ability to read, interpret, and work from detailed engineering drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, and assembly specifications.
- Hands-on experience with mechanical fabrication, machining, welding, assembly, or hardware testing in a professional, academic, or personal project setting.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot manufacturing and assembly challenges.
- Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate across engineering, production, and procurement teams.
