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. We are seeking an experienced Architect to be our first architecture hire in Texas. You'll own architectural design across our Texas projects, from early concepts for stations and connectors through to construction documents, and help shape how architecture works at The Boring Company as we scale. Our projects go from sketch to built in months, not years.
Responsibilities
Apply a first principles approach to design production: simplify requirements, delete unnecessary process steps, optimize, accelerate production, and automate. Lead the design of tunnel support structures, stations, portals and underground connectors, and drive high-level planning and concept design for stations and alignments. Own the design relationship with hotel and property clients to ensure station and connector design aligns with their brand and property style. Take projects from initial concepts to construction documents, setting the standard for quality and constructability. Work hand in hand with Structural, Civil, MEP, engineering and construction teams to ensure design intent is carried through across disciplines. Research building codes, materials, and industry guidelines to develop details and comprehensive and constructible drawings. Set up and own QC measures and ensure deliverables comply with requirements. Make sound, timely decisions with a high degree of autonomy. Ensure projects meet client agreements, budgets, goals, and schedules. Direct consultants and vendors, and help build out the Texas architecture function as the team grows. Occasional travel required. Basic Qualifications Professional degree in Architecture. 4+ years' experience in Architecture, or Architectural Design License (or close to achieving license) in Architecture. Prior professional design experience on commercial, infrastructure, or industrial projects. Preference for industrial manufacturing over residential architecture. High proficiency in Revit in a professional office setting. Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D. A portfolio demonstrating relevant project work. Preferred Qualifications Proficiency in Rhino. Experience in infrastructure, transportation, or industrial/manufacturing project types. Experience working within large, multi-disciplinary team environments. Background on the owner side of large-scale projects (e.g., aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, oil & gas). Scripting experience with visual programming automation tools (Dynamo and Grasshopper). Proficiency in visualization tools such as Lumion, Enscape, V-ray, Keyshot, Unreal, or Twinmotion. Culture We're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.
