The Boring Company 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.
The Boring Company is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Substation Design Engineer to play a pivotal role in designing electrical mobile substations, critical components in the power transmission and distribution systems of our tunnel boring machines. As a Senior member of our engineering team, you will lead the design, development, and optimization of power systems that are critical to the success of our groundbreaking tunneling projects. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that is transforming the future of transportation infrastructure.
Responsibilities
Develop single-line diagrams (SLD) and schematics Design layouts for high voltage and medium-voltage equipment, including transformers, circuit breakers, busbars, and switches Perform calculations for voltage regulation, short circuits, and load flow Create physical arrangements and layouts of substation equipment, grounding, lighting, and conduit plans ensuring designs meet safety standards including arc flash studies Design protection systems, including relay settings, wiring diagrams, interconnection schemes, SCADA and communication systems Use CAD software such as AutoCAD or MicroStation, perform simulations in software like ETAP, PSCAD, CYME
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field 6+yrs experience of electrical engineering principles 3+yrs experience in substation design tools and simulation software Proven track record in leading multi-disciplinary teams on complex substation projects Experience in all phases of substation design; conceptual, detailed, construction and commissioning Advanced knowledge of medium-voltage (MV) systems (e.g., 13.2 kV, 25 kV) and step-down transformer design to support heavy equipment loads
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working on modular substation solutions or portable substation projects Portable or modular substation solutions for dynamic construction sites Expertise in designing for load transients associated with TBM operation (e.g., during startup and shutdown) Ability to design substations to handle dynamic loads with high reliability and minimal downtime
