We’re passionate about our technology and we’re gathering momentum…

MineSense Technologies is commercializing an innovative solution to an important problem faced by the mining industry, which is how to optimize the separation of waste from ore. The company’s proprietary technology will seamlessly integrate with existing mine equipment and offers greater flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency for its target industry. Our technology creates new Revenue for the mine to dramatically boost mine profitability. There is also a significant sustainability benefit, as these improved processing decisions directly reduce the environmental footprint of mine operations.

In order to scale and fuel our commercialization strategy, we are looking to add a Senior Mechanical Engineer to our team. You will be working with multi discipline engineers and cross functional groups on product design, development, and manufacture. Along with product development, you will perform research and development of new technologies and products that can be implemented in future products.

Responsibilities include (but not limited to):

• Responsible for leading and/or working with Junior/Intermediate Engineers and collaborating with other design team members to create drawings, change and/or create 3D parametric models and assemblies with SolidWorks, perform engineering changes, and develop & maintain BOMs to achieve project goals
• Design new, and/or redesign existing machines, equipment or systems considering cost, availability of materials, strength and maintenance requirements, and impact on the user and on the environment.
• Test and analyze the feasibility, design, operation and performance of equipment, components, and systems and review the other engineers in the same area
• Coordinate with vendors and clients to provide timely resolution of design and performance issues.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of components and assemblies to determine best practices and review the other engineers in the same area.
• Supervision, commissioning, installation, maintenance, and inspection of our equipment at our clients’ facilities around the world
• Train and mentor and review the works of junior/intermediate staff members.
• Create product launch documentation including assembly & manufacture procedures.
