Senior Controls Engineer

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.

We're looking for a Senior Controls Engineer who wants to own the brains of our next-generation drill rigs, building the PLC logic that makes heavy equipment safe, reliable, and ready for autonomy.

Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Architect and program PLC logic for drill cycle sequencing, safety interlocks, mud mixing, spindle/feed coordination, and rod handling.
• Implement state machines, PID loops, and interlock matrices in IEC 61131-3 languages (Structured Text, Ladder, FBD).
• Commission control systems on physical rigs: wiring checkout, I/O validation, drive tuning, field debugging.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to define sensor/actuator requirements and ensure reliable integration.
• Design alarm handling, recovery routines, and HMI interfaces for drillers.
• Ensure compliance with industrial safety standards (STO, SIL, lockout/tagout), implemented with Siemens Safety Integrated and PROFIsafe.
• Suppor
