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 your discipline, the person who makes the agent think like a real engineer in your field. 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 your discipline end to end, working directly with Fortune 500 clients. You'll turn your own hard-won judgment, the packages and deliverables you know cold, 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 deliverables the agent generates for a Fortune 500 partner in your discipline, taking work that took weeks down to hours.
You'll fit if you
We’re looking for an unusually driven electrical engineer. Ideally, you’ve been working for or with EPCs for 2-5 years and have been frustrated by their way of working and ignored in the organization when you’ve brought up ideas for how to work better.
You should have a familiarity with standard electrical engineering packages, SLDs, cable schedules, load lists… You are going to help us teach the AI that will create every single SLD, load list, cable schedule in the world.
It is a big advantage if you have interacted with claude code or codex already. You will be using these tools.
AI is going to fundamentally reshape how capital projects get built. Torus is going to be the company to do it. We want you to help us build out our electrical discipline, working directly with Fortune 500 clients. Based out of San Francisco with frequent travel possible to Houston, Tulsa, Kansas City etc.
