SUMMARY:
Solution Designer – Mechanical Design

POSITION INFO:

Job Purpose:
To develop technical mechanical design solutions focused on the optimization of crushing systems through field inspections, operational data analysis, reverse engineering, component design, and chamber development. This role supports the generation of high value technical proposals aligned with both customer needs and business objectives.

Key Responsibilities:
• Conduct field inspections to assess crushing equipment operating conditions and review both new and worn components (liners and structural parts).
• Capture dimensional data of components using laser scanning technologies such as FARO Laser Scanner and Creaform.
• Process scan data to develop reverse engineering models, create 3D components, and perform wear analysis as part of the equipment’s operational performance evaluations.
• Analyze operational data to detect deviations or anomalies in equipment performance, assessing throughput, load conditions, wear profiles, and overall efficiency.
• Participate in the design and optimization of crushing chambers, considering geometry, wear profiles, feed characteristics, and site-specific operating parameters.
• Develop technical proposals for crushing equipment optimization, including redesigns, liner profile adjustments, and chamber modifications according to each site’s operational needs.
• Apply technical knowledge across multiple crushing technologies, including:
- Cone Crushers
- Gyratory Crushers
- Jaw Crushers
- Impact Crushers
- Crushing circuits (primary, secondary, tertiary)
• Generate 3D models and component drawings using design software such as SolidWorks, Inventor, or equivalent.
• Prepare technical reports consolidating field data, operational analyses, modeling results, and engineering recommendations.
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams (technical, commercial, manufacturing, quality) to ensure full alignment between proposed solutions, customer expectations, and internal manufacturing capabilities.

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or related field.
• Experience in mechanical design applied to mining equipment, preferably crushing systems.
• Proficient in laser scanning technologies (FARO, Creaform) and point cloud processing.
• Strong knowledge of wear analysis and crushing chamber optimization.
• Advanced 3D design skills using CAD software.
• Analytical skills to process operational data and develop technical reports.
• Willingness to travel and perform field work at mining sites.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Desired Competencies:
• Continuous improvement and technical problem-solving mindset.
• Strong analytical skills for data interpretation.
• Detail-oriented and committed to design quality.
• Proactive approach to propose high-value engineering solutions.
• Broad business understanding and ability to connect technical work with commercial outcomes.
