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, we're building the world's first mesh energy infrastructure, systems that protect communities, reduce costs, and strengthen the grid for decades to come. As a Senior or Principal Mechanical Engineer , you'll own the design, validation, and productization of the sub-systems that make resilient, scalable energy storage possible, whether that's battery-based, flywheel-based, or the integration points between them.

This role sits at the intersection of deep technical ownership and systems thinking. You'll shape how hardware decisions ripple across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through high-volume manufacturing, balancing cost, complexity, reliability, and manufacturability as a unified problem. We value speed and quality equally; moving fast matters, but so does building it right the first time.

If you thrive on hard problems, take full ownership from the first sketch to the final spec, and want your work to directly accelerate the energy transition, this role was built for you.
