Los Angeles, United States Durin Mining Technologies Full time

Durin — Build the Future of Mining

Durin was founded under the belief that a future where humanity has access to limitless resources is fundamentally more exciting than one where we do not. Today Durin is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of becoming the bedrock of the global supply chain and enabling a more abundant future for everyone.

Who We Are

At Durin, we drill for mineral exploration companies. Despite being a $6B industry, exploration drilling technology has hardly changed in over 60 years. Our mission is to change that. The first step is retrofitting drilling rigs with automated controls and real-time data streams to increase speed, efficiency, and reliability—quickly followed by the production of our own equipment.

Building the Rig

We are hiring an embedded systems engineer to develop low-level firmware for sensors, microcontrollers, and communication systems on our autonomous drilling rigs. You’ll rapidly prototype, iterate, and collaborate with the rest of the team, testing in the field daily or weekly.

Note: You don't need mining or drilling experience to excel in this role.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and optimize firmware for embedded microcontrollers and industrial-grade equipment
  • Integrate and calibrate diverse sensors (pressure, vibration, temperature) for real-time data acquisition and control loops
  • Ensure reliable, timing-critical firmware operation in rugged environments, supporting closed-loop automation
  • Connect embedded devices to networks (e.g., Starlink) for remote data capture
  • Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers to align hardware and software integrations from PCB to actuator
  • Iterate quickly on firmware and sensor configurations in both lab and field environments

Competencies: 

  • Experience in embedded firmware development, ideally in industrial or heavy machinery contexts
  • Strong understanding of real-time operating systems, control algorithms (e.g., PID), and sensor fusion
  • Skilled at sensor integration, signal conditioning, and data processing for actionable insights
  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (CAN bus, Modbus) and wireless solutions
  • Proven ability to maintain robustness in challenging conditions (dust, vibration, extreme temperatures)
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary team environment, rapidly prototyping, testing, and refining code for field-ready performance

In this role, you will

  • Own a product vertical with the opportunity to build a team around yourself over time
  • Work directly with our internal and external customers to drive our roadmap
  • Get to build alongside the best engineers and mining operators in the world
  • Be given autonomy and virtually unlimited room to grow
  • Travel all over the world

This might be a good fit if you

  • Bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right
  • Have led critical projects or initiatives
  • Have extensive experience shipping modern, full-stack hardware
  • Are product-minded and user-driven
  • Are excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high stakes and quick iteration cycles
  • Are a previous or future founder — if you leave Durin to start a company, we'll do everything to support you, including investing in you and introducing you to Durin’s investors
  • Can work from our Los Angeles headquarters (El Segundo)

Compensation

For this role everyone, including the founder, is taking a salary of $120,000. We believe in investing every dollar back into the company to achieve our ambitious goals. While money isn't our driving motivator, we ensure you will be taken care of financially.

We can provide housing close to the office. The headquarters is equipped with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a high-end shower.

You will be given generous equity.

Requirements

  • Must be willing to work from our headquarters in El Segundo.
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

Join Durin to build the future of mining. If you're passionate about making a real-world impact and solving complex challenges, we'd love to hear from you
