What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer position at Durin Mining Technologies?
Durin was founded under the belief that raw materials should not be a constraint on human progress. We are actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of becoming the bedrock of the global supply chain.
Who We Are
Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery.
Modern life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines do not simply appear. Valuable ore is rare, so in advance, Geologists must explore, observe, test, and survey - a process that takes significant time and resources. Building a mine today is a billion dollar endeavor, so precise data is key. This is done by drilling hundreds of holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples in the search for valuable material.
Despite being a $12B industry, exploration drilling technology has hardly changed in over 70 years. Our mission is to change that. The first step is the development and mass-production of drilling rigs with automated controls and real-time data streams to increase safety, accuracy, and efficiency. That is just the beginning.
