FLSmidth is recruiting a 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:UtilizeSolidWorks 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 theinitialdesign phase utilizingin-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:Maintainhigh standards of design documentation to ensure system continuity, traceability, and seamless handoffs. • Strategic Execution:Demonstratestrong 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:Demonstratedability 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.
