About Torus

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 540,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called Giga One. Our mission is to build the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure — built to unite people and communities through resilient, secure, 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.

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports 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.

Torus has an opening for a highly skilled and motivated Electrical Engineer with proven technical experience to join our Overwatch Operations team. The ideal candidate will play a key role in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of products like our battery energy storage systems (BESS) and flywheel energy storage systems (FESS), with a focus on commercial-utility-scale deployments, grid interconnection, and compliance with utility requirements.

This position involves performing remote troubleshooting, system performance analysis, and implementation of maintenance strategies to maximize asset up-time and performance.

You’ll work with our integrated energy storage systems that combine battery arrays, power inverters, and our proprietary flywheel technology. This role requires understanding DC power systems, battery management, power electronics, and how these systems integrate with both customer facilities and utility grids.
