Job Overview
CSIRO's Sensing and Sorting research program is developing world-leading technology that is deployed in the Australian and global mining industry. The MEA (Mineral and Elemental Analyser) X-ray technology enables processing plants to monitor mineral slurries in real time.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop extensive MEA manufacturing documentation and develop initial production channels to provide beta manufacturability, with technical readiness to facilitate future commercialisation activities.
* Work to develop technical hardware and software improvements that will assist the robustness and supportability of the MEA technology to reduce maintenance requirements.
* Increasingly front face to end-users and work with them to solve specific plant installation issues, troubleshooting, potential analyser modifications and compliance with plant standards, especially during critical trial phases.
* Increase our team capability for supporting the MEA run-time software platform, building a wider capability that may cross over into other X-ray developments.
Requirements
You will need:
* Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant work experience in engineering (electronic, mechatronic and/or software).
* Instrumentation, control and automation/software design and development skill in a prototyping environment.
* Demonstrated experience in technical project management, including working to project timelines and using systems and tools to progress workflows.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills to discuss and obtain information from manufacturers, scientists and engineers.
* Demonstrated ability to understand electrical schematics, electronic circuit function and mechanical drawings.
* Demonstrated ability to perform functional testing of equipment to evaluate basic system operation.
* A practical, hands-on approach to solving engineering problems.
* Electronic and/or mechanical design automation (EDA) and design process documentation skills.
* Ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
* Willingness to travel and work at client site in remote locations in Australia.
