Sr. Instrument and Embedded Specialist

Senior Instrument and Embedded Specialist

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.

• Mechanical & Packaging Design:
  Utilize Solid Works to design robust enclosures for severe industrial environments and 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 (ESP
  32, 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.

• Deep understanding of applied physics, including force, magnitude, and material properties.
• Working knowledge of ray tracing for antennas and mixed‑signal circuit design.
• Practical experience with 3D printing fundamentals and rapid prototyping.
• 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:
  Experience with Altium and Enovia.
• Bonus:
  Familiarity with embedded security protocols and vulnerability mitigation.

• Competitive benefit package including health, dental, disability, life, and voluntary insurance options.
• Paid time off, 10 annual holidays, and parental leave.
• Flexible work schedule and work‑life balance.
• Financial support for continuing education.
• Employee Assistance Program.
• Dedicated recognition platform for celebrating achievements.
