Product Design Engineer - Crushers

As a Product Design Engineer specializing in the reverse engineering of crusher wear parts, you will be at the forefront of leveraging advanced scanning technology and CAD modeling to address complex challenges in mineral processing.

Your role will involve collaborating with field teams and technical experts to interpret point cloud data, transforming raw scans of worn components into precise 3D models. These 3D models are not only used for recreating parts but also serve as the basis for analyzing wear patterns and identifying opportunities for improvements in design and material selection.
You will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between field operations and engineering design, working closely with both site personnel and design teams to ensure that replacement parts meet the unique demands of each mining operation. This may involve visiting mine sites to oversee scanning operations, gather firsthand insights into equipment performance, and communicate directly with maintenance teams about operational challenges.

Key Responsibilities:

Work closely with customers, product- and account managers, you will ensure a thorough understanding of client requirements, to deliver customized solutions for crusher chamber optimization projects.
Collaborate with regional teams to gather and evaluate field data that supports targeted product development initiatives.
Champion innovation in crusher wear parts by providing hands-on support and driving ongoing enhancements.
Share technical knowledge with ME team members to expand chamber optimization efforts across projects.
Create new component designs using advanced 3D modeling techniques and detailed 2D manufacturing drawings.
Take on additional tasks as needed to support the overall success of the team and project objectives.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
Minimum 3 years of design experience in crusher wear parts or similar
Proficient with CAD and PDM platforms, as well as Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English;
