Senior Instrument and Embedded Specialist to develop advanced sensor platforms aimed at achieving zero-emissions mining by 2030. The role emphasizes innovation, digitalization, and sustainability in the mining industry.
Your responsibilities- Mechanical & Packaging Design: Utilize SolidWorks to design robust enclosures for severe industrial environments. Select appropriate materials (plastics, epoxies) and adhesives based on physical properties and environmental hazards.
- Hardware & Firmware Development: Execute mixed-signal circuit design, PCB layout, and embedded firmware development (ESP32, RTOS, C/C++).
- Rapid Prototyping & Iteration: Take ownership of the initial design phase utilizing in-house rapid prototyping (MJF/FDM 3D printing) to accelerate the validation cycle and align stakeholder vision before scaling to external vendors.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Proactively collaborate with manufacturing engineers, product owners, and end-users to distill complex field observations into clear, actionable technical requirements.
- Validation & Field Testing: Write comprehensive test plans from scratch, design and implement physical test jigs, and occasionally travel to active mine sites to conduct on-site validation of sensor reliability.
- Technical Documentation: Maintain high standards of design documentation to ensure system continuity, traceability, and seamless handoffs.
- Strategic Execution: Demonstrate strong engineering judgment in balancing rigorous technical standards with practical, time-to-market business requirements to consistently meet deployment schedules.
- Design, prototype, and deploy ruggedized sensor systems for heavy industrial environments. Operating at the intersection of electrical and mechanical engineering, you will take end-to-end ownership of product development.
What you bring- Physics & First Principles: Deep understanding of applied physics, including force, magnitude, and material properties.
- RF & Mixed Signal: Working knowledge of ray tracing for antennas and mixed-signal circuit design.
- Manufacturing: Practical experience with 3D printing fundamentals and rapid prototyping.
- Testing: Demonstrated ability to conceptualize, write, and execute effective physical and electrical test plans.
- Demonstrated history of driving technical strategy autonomously as a sole contributor.
- Advanced capability in designing complex physical test jigs for severe environmental hazards.
- Bonus Tooling: Experience with Altium and Enovia.
- Bonus Knowledge: Familiarity with embedded security protocols and vulnerability mitigation.
What we offer- Competitive benefit package including health, dental, disability, life, and voluntary insurance options.
- Time to recharge through PTO, plus 10 annual holidays, and parental leave.
- Work-life balance with a flexible work schedule so you can focus on professional and personal priorities.
- Financial support for continuing education.
- Employee Assistance Program.
- A global network of supportive colleagues and growth opportunities.
We offer all employees access to a dedicated recognition platform, empowering you to celebrate achievements, share appreciation and stay connected globally.
