What is a mechanical engineer mining?

A Mechanical Engineer in mining is responsible for designing, maintaining, and optimizing mechanical systems and equipment used in mining operations. They work on machinery such as conveyors, crushers, drilling equipment, and ventilation systems to ensure efficiency and safety. Their role also involves troubleshooting mechanical issues, improving reliability, and implementing maintenance strategies. Additionally, they collaborate with other engineers and mine operators to enhance operational performance and minimize downtime.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a mechanical engineer mining?

To thrive as a Mechanical Engineer Mining, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering principles, mining processes, and a relevant engineering degree with professional certification (such as EIT or PE preferred). Familiarity with CAD software, mining equipment diagnostic tools, and project management systems is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication skills are critical soft skills for success in this field. These competencies are vital for ensuring safe, efficient mining operations and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in often challenging environments.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a mechanical engineer mining?

A Mechanical Engineer in the mining sector commonly oversees the maintenance and optimization of mining machinery, designs new mechanical systems for increased efficiency, and conducts regular equipment inspections to ensure safety compliance. You may also analyze equipment failures, develop preventive maintenance plans, and collaborate closely with mining engineers, geologists, and site managers. Many roles involve both office-based design work and on-site supervision or troubleshooting, offering a mix of hands-on and technical challenges. These daily tasks are essential for minimizing downtime, enhancing safety, and ensuring smooth mine operations.

Mechanical Engineer

Durin Mining Technologies Corp.

El Segundo, CA

$125K - $140K/yr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision

Re-posted 23 days ago

Job description

Durin was founded under the belief that raw materials should not be a constraint on civilization's progress. We are actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of becoming the foundation of the global supply chain.
 
WHO WE ARE
 
Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery.
 
Our modern way of life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines don't simply appear. In fact, the exploration process required to find valuable ore is incredibly long and expensive. This is done by drilling hundreds of surgical holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples.
 
Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore haven't changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning. Learn More
 
BUILDING THE RIG
 
As a Mechanical Engineer at Durin, you will design and build the world's most advanced drill rigs, redefining mineral exploration as we know it, and uncovering critical subsurface data in hours or days instead of weeks or months. You will have full hardware ownership, taking your projects from initial design requirements and concepts all the way through design, analysis, prototype, qualification, and integration.
 
Note: You don't need mining or drilling experience to excel in this role.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
    • Own the development of next-generation drilling rigs from structure and mechanism design to advanced manufacturing.
    • Develop design concepts from a clean sheet with a first principles, physics-based approach.
    • Perform simulations, stress analysis, hand calculations, and FEA to ensure the durability and performance of components in unbelievably harsh operational conditions.
    • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure hardware integrates with Durin's electrical, control, and software systems to support necessary mission objectives.
    • Be responsible for project delivery timeline from early design through production, rollout, and global operation.
    • Exemplify technical excellence and be accountable for your work.
    • Optimize mechanical systems for performance, weight, cost, and manufacturability.
    • Conduct field visits to understand operational challenges and implement improvements in real-world environments.
    • Source, retain, and advise new and experienced vendors from a technical perspective.
WHO YOU ARE
    • Experience designing, analyzing, building, and testing high-performance mechanical systems, preferably heavy machinery and/or autonomous systems.
    • Proficiency in CAD software (NX, SolidWorks, or similar).
    • Proficiency with FEA tools for stress analysis and simulation (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN, Abaqus).
    • Strong understanding of hydraulic systems, drive mechanisms, and structural design.
    • Analytical/scientific programming experience (i.e., Python, Matlab, Excel).
    • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, tolerances, and selecting materials for mechanical components.
    • Ability to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment to rapidly prototype and manufacture new products.
    • Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills.
    • Have a bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right.
 
COMPENSATION
 
This role will pay $125,000 - $140,000, plus equity, so you have a real stake in Durin's success. Everyone is an owner, so as the company grows, your equity grows too.
 
Aside from base compensation, we invest heavily in our team. You'll have the freedom and resources to try new things and iterate quickly. We're a high-growth company without middle management, which means fast decision making and the ability for you to own major initiatives from day one.
 
We also offer 100% healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision), all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are paid for when you're at headquarters, and we can help you find housing nearby.
 
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Must be willing to work from our headquarters in El Segundo
Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
