Build the vision for Hydraulic Mining Shovel (HMS) performance and controls technology. Be the engineer providing influence at a product level. As a Senior Controls Engineer for HMS, you will provide algorithms and perform data analytics on HMS machines. You will evaluate controls and machine performance in simulation and provide solutions for any design issues discovered. You will also perform simulations to evaluate inquiries from the field. This position provides opportunity to gain an intimate understanding of HMS operation and performance and have the ability to impact them both. This position resides within the Hydraulic Mining Shovel Engineering team in Tucson, AZ.
What you will do:
Technology – Develop, organize, and maintain the algorithms for HMS technology features. This includes features like Operator Assist (protects machine cylinders), Payload (determine the mass of the material in the bucket), and future semi-autonomous features.
Electrohydraulic – Understand hydraulic and electrical schematics. Work with the different system teams to identify ideal hardware for the required controls inputs.
Simulation – Complete controls and/or performance simulations for current production and NPI HMS and provide recommendations driven by data
Quantifying – Identify the conditions that are needed to simulate real life hydraulic mining shovel operations. Update the simulation complexity depending on the needs of the study.
Data Analytics – Provide insight on operator behavior by utilizing live data channels from active machines
Resource coordination – Delegate tasks and utilize team resources, ensuring project fidelity and timely completion. Meet regularly with resources.
Innovation – Keep up-to-date on new technologies and drive continuous improvement to established techniques
