Electrical Engineer Technician

About Torus

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

At Torus, the distance between a new idea and a working system runs directly through this role. As an Electrical Engineering Technician, you turn engineering concepts into physical reality. You’ll wire prototypes, assemble flywheels and battery storage systems, and build the custom fixtures that make production possible. When the engineering team needs to move fast, your skill and judgment are what keep pace. The energy infrastructure Torus is building will serve communities into the future, and it starts with people who can pick up a schematic, grab the tools, and make it work.

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, 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.

Responsibilities

• Partner with engineers to build and iterate on new designs and prototypes from concept through working hardware.
• Perform hands-on assembly and disassembly of flywheels and commercial battery storage systems.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and service teams to design and build custom fixtures for assembly and repair.
• Provide direct, actionable feedback on designs and assembly processes to accelerate iteration.
• Maintain the R&D workspace as an organized, production-ready environment. Keep tools, components, and test equipment inventoried, accessible, and in good working order so the team can move without friction.
• Other duties as assigned.

Required Experience

• 4-10+ years of progressive experience in electrical technician work including demonstrated hands-on track record building, wiring, and troubleshooting electrical systems.
• Proficiency in DIN rail wiring, PCB soldering, and measurement equipment (DMM, oscilloscope, etc.).
• Solid grasp of electrical theory, safe practices, and schematic interpretation.
• Mechanical assembly experience including hands-on tasks like drilling, fitting, and hardware installation alongside electrical work, etc.
• Able to move between electrical and mechanical tasks fluidly. You're not just a wiring tech; you understand how the parts fit together physically.
• Experience working to timelines and communicating proactively with engineering and production teams.

Preferred Experience

• Formal training through an electrical technology trade program, apprenticeship, or vocational school or equivalent experience.
• Familiarity with electrical design software such as AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN.
