TYLin is a 1,000–5,000-person engineering firm anchored in San Francisco, designing transit corridors, wastewater systems, and water infrastructure. The tech stack reveals a CAD-heavy, design-first operation: Revit, Civil 3D, MicroStation, and OpenRoads dominate; simulation tools (VISSIM, HEC-RAS, SAP2000) and GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS) sit alongside project controls (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project). No adopting or replacing signals—the stack is stable and mature. Hiring is heavily engineering-skewed (270 of 351 roles), with senior and mid-level staff concentrated there, and pain points cluster around schedule/cost control and complex multi-phase delivery—typical of large-scale public-sector infrastructure work.
Notable leadership hires: Infrastructure Advisory Lead
TYLin delivers design, planning, and construction-phase services for infrastructure clients—primarily transit agencies, municipalities, and water authorities. Core work spans rail and BRT corridors, stations, wastewater treatment systems, and water main replacement projects, often involving seismic analysis, environmental review, and phased delivery across multiple jurisdictions. The firm operates across the United States, Philippines, and Canada, with active hiring concentrated in the U.S. Project complexity and multi-coverage insurance requirements dominate operational challenges, alongside schedule and cost management on long-cycle infrastructure programs.
