WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design electrical layouts and schematics for drilling equipment, including power distribution, controls, and instrumentation
- Specify and source electrical components (switchgear, VFDs, PLCs, sensors, cables) aligned with rig requirements
- Develop wiring diagrams, harness routings, and cabinet layouts, ensuring maintainability and compliance
- Coordinate with controls/software teams to integrate I/O points, safety circuits, and communication networks
- Perform load calculations, short-circuit/arc flash analysis, and ensure systems meet relevant codes (NEC, NFPA)
- Provide field support for commissioning, troubleshooting, and iterative improvements
- Build alongside the best engineers, explorers, and operators in the world.
- Work directly with our internal and external customers to drive the roadmap.
WHO YOU ARE
- Extensive experience with industrial electrical systems, panel design, and power distribution.
- Proficiency with CAD tools for electrical design (e.g., EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical).
- Knowledge of PLC I/O wiring, instrumentation selection, and grounding/shielding best practices.
- Familiarity with relevant standards (NEC, UL508A, CE) and safe working practices.
- Comfortable working with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical and controls aspects.
- Experience diagnosing complex electrical issues in demanding field environments.
- Have extensive experience shipping modern, full-stack hardware.
- Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high stakes and quick iteration cycles.
- Have a bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right.
What We Do
Durin was founded under the belief that raw materials should not be a constraint on civilization's progress. We are actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of becoming the foundation of the global supply chain. Our modern way of life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines don't simply appear. In fact, the exploration process required to find valuable ore is incredibly long and expensive. This is done by drilling hundreds of surgical holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples. Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore haven't changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning. Learn more at learn.durin.com
