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.

Our Integration Engineering team is responsible for Production & Integration of the systems of our Tunnel Boring Machines and related systems, with the primary focus of improving manufacturability.

Responsibilities

Owner of large scale production of a complex system in a fast paced environment
Subject matter expert on system function and manufacturing
Lead continuous improvements of system manufacturability by optimizing process, cost, quality, simplicity and efficiency
Solve complex problems via scrappy, and systematic solutions
Identify, implement and manage batch “production running” of assemblies, taking full responsibility for bulk purchasing and strategic outsourcing.
Evaluate and engineer production flow, ensuring complete oversight and accountability for effective build processes
Monitor production capacity and independently drive actionable, high-impact recommendations for process improvements
Synthesize real-world data across manufacturing, testing, R&D, mining, and design to independently drive design and manufacturing enhancements
Design and Integrate jigs to improve ease of production
Oversee the pipeline for upcoming design changes, taking accountability for accurate purchasing and the seamless production of future machines
Author and maintain comprehensive work instructions and quality documentation to establish the standard for floor operations
Guide and direct skilled trades (machinists, welders, mechanics) on the floor, providing hands-on technical expertise and leadership to resolve complex challenges
