CNC Waterjet Technician

About Torus

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 540,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. 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.

About the Role

As a CNC Waterjet Technician at Torus, you will be a critical link in our advanced manufacturing process. You aren’t just operating a machine; you are responsible for the precision fabrication of components that power our large-scale energy storage systems. This role requires a blend of technical expertise in CNC operation and a "builder’s mindset." You will work closely with our engineering and production teams to transform raw materials into high-performance parts, ensuring that every cut meets our rigorous standards for quality and efficiency.

Responsibilities

- Set up and operate CNC water jet cutting machines, including loading and securing raw material, calibrating cutting heads, and adjusting water pressure and abrasive flow rates.

- Import, translate, and nest CAD/CAM files (DXF, DWG, or similar) into the machine control software to optimize material yield and cutting efficiency.

- Select and install appropriate cutting nozzles, and abrasive media based on material type and thickness.

- Review engineering drawings, work orders, and specifications to determine cutting sequences, tolerances, and production priorities.

- Identify and correct deviations in cut quality — including taper, surface roughness, or dimensional drift — by adjusting machine parameters.

- Can accurately trouble shoot G-code and various other tooling languages associated with program set up

- Accurately record production data including part quantities, run times, material usage, and machine downtime in the shop management system (ERP/MES)

Required Experience

- High school diploma or GED; technical or vocational training in machining, manufacturing, or a related field preferred.

- 1–3 years of experience operating CNC water jet, laser, or plasma cutting equipment

- Basic computer skills; experience with CAM or machine control software a plus.

Preferred Experience

- Familiarity with a variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or composites.

- Knowledge of lean manufacturing and 5S principles.

You’ll be a great fit at Torus if you’re motivated by building durable systems and taking responsibility for how they perform in the field. This role is well-suited for a CNC Waterjet Technician who enjoys the challenge of transforming complex designs into high-precision parts, collaborating closely with engineering and assembly teams, and solving practical fabrication problems that directly impact product reliability. If you take pride in technical accuracy, maintaining a world-class shop environment, and seeing your work move from a raw sheet of material to a deployed energy solution, you’ll find meaningful long-term impact here.
