Senior Power Electrical Engineer

About Torus

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called Giga One.
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 such as Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ, and Origin Ventures. The investments accelerate deployment of modular power plants across utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors. 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.

The Senior Power Electrical Engineer brings our mission to life at the electron level — and then some. You’ll design, assemble, install, and maintain the electrical systems our infrastructure depends on: energy storage, energy management, LV power distribution, grid‑tied inverters, motor drives, protective relays, automatic transfer switches, and AC‑DC and DC‑DC power conversion at 1000V and below. But this role goes beyond execution.

You’ll own subsystems from spec to validation, lead complex design end‑to‑end, mentor junior engineers, and serve as a key technical voice in design reviews. Every electron in our products flows through your work, and your decisions shape how the team builds from here. You’ll do it on a small team, with a hybrid schedule and an async culture built for focused, heads‑down work.

• You care about work that matters.
• You say what you think, directly and early.
• You move fast without cutting corners.
• You own your work end to end.
• Strong opinions, loosely held.
• You think in systems.
• You thrive in a “fail fast” environment.
• You work with a bias toward progress.

Design and Development

• Lead the design of complex AC‑DC and DC‑DC power distribution systems and high‑voltage control architectures, setting technical standards and reviewing work across the team for compliance with NEC, UL, and IEEE requirements.
• Own subsystem design from specification through validation, including grid‑tied inverters, motor drive systems, and energy storage integration, ensuring performance, stability, and reliability at scale.
• Independently conduct and lead advanced power studies, including short‑circuit analysis, load‑flow modeling, arc‑flash hazard assessments, and protection coordination for DERs, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings.
• Develop and own engineering deliverables (schematics, SLDs, cabinet layouts, O&M manuals, FAT/SAT protocols) with accountability for quality, completeness, and cross‑functional review sign‑off.
• Serve as the technical lead in design reviews, flagging systemic risks, pushing back on designs that won’t scale, and mentoring engineers through the review process.
• Interpret and apply electrical codes (NEC/NFPA 70, UL, IEEE) with expert‑level judgment; identify code ambiguities, drive resolution, and help define internal design standards.

Research, Development, and Prototype Assembly

• Define R&D strategy for early‑stage product development; scope prototyping efforts, allocate lab resources, and ensure findings translate into scalable production‑ready designs.
• Oversee prototype assembly and UL 508A panel builds, providing technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians on assembly quality and safety standards.
• Lead the transition from development to production — defining the standards for wiring diagrams, SOPs, and test procedures that the broader team will…
