### **_Gradient is everything._** Torus is building the agentic engineering tool that physical engineering firms use to build infrastructure 10x faster. We turn design engineering work that took 6 weeks into 6 hours, and we're already working with multiple Fortune 500s and major EPCs on critical infrastructure like data centers and energy installations. We're looking for an unusually driven electrical engineer - ideally someone who's spent 2–5 years at or with EPCs, got frustrated by how they work, and got ignored when you brought up better ways to do it.
You're going to help us teach the AI that will create every SLD, load list, and cable schedule in the world. ### **Who we are** Torus was founded in May 2026 by Marcus Lima (CEO) and Rahul Thayil (CTO). Marcus previously founded Heimdal (direct air carbon capture technology and infrastructure); Oxford and Cambridge grad. Rahul previously founded Orion (AI threat intelligence and response automation). We're a team of 6 in San Francisco.
You'll be a founding voice for our electrical discipline - the person who makes the agent think like a real electrical engineer. We started Torus because AI can finally do the structured, geometry-heavy work at the core of reindustrialization, and the industry is burning for it. ### **What you'll do** You'll build out our electrical discipline end to end, working directly with Fortune 500 clients. You'll turn your own hard-won judgment - SLDs, cable schedules, load lists, standard electrical packages - into an agent that produces work engineers actually trust.
You'll sit between our software team and our partners, deciding what "correct" means and holding the AI to it. **We move fast. In your first week**, your input is shaping real agent output. **By your first month**, you'll own the electrical deliverables the agent generates for a Fortune 500 partner - taking work that took weeks down to hours. ### **You'll fit if you** * Have 2–5 years at or with EPCs and deep familiarity with SLDs, cable schedules, load lists, and standard electrical packages * Have opinions about how electrical engineering _should_ be done * Have interacted with Claude Code or Codex already (a big plus - you'll be using these tools daily) * Learn fast and want to work at startup pace.
Gradient is everything. * Willing to travel \~10% of the time to partner sites - Houston, Tulsa, Kansas City, and data center / energy installations to work with clients in-person. ### **Logistics** On-site in San Francisco. Full-time.
