ROLE OVERVIEW

CSIRO Mineral Resources (CMR) is one of the largest minerals research and development groups globally, with a proud track record in delivering innovation and solutions across the mineral resources value chain. We thrive on innovation harnessed by the diversity in our teams, supporting individuals to create a dynamic career path leveraging their lived experiences and identity in an inclusive environment. We apply our expert knowledge and specialised research to provide innovation that solves the complex problems faced by minerals companies, mining equipment, technology, and services (METS) companies, government, and other industry stakeholders.
The CSIRO Sensing and Sorting research program develops world-leading technology that is deployed in the Australian and global mining industry. Our recently developed MEA (Mineral and Elemental Analyser) X-ray technology enables processing plants to monitor mineral slurries in real time.
The MEA technology is currently being advanced to a “beta” version, incorporating insights gained from recent field trials. In this role, you will support the future development plan as well as the standing CSIRO engagements involving the technology.
As a Project Engineer you will perform various project tasks and research development. This role would be suited to Engineers with a strong hands-on approach with good knowledge of automation, hardware-software interfacing and manufacturing process.

YOUR DUTIES WILL INCLUDE:

• 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.
• Other duties as directed
