About this role

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:   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.
