IT Support and Services

findfolks is partnering with a company that builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery. Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore haven't changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning.

About the Role
As the Senior Electrical Engineer, you will design and implement the electrical systems that power and control the world's most advanced drilling rigs. Responsibilities range from control panel design and harness routing to selecting power distribution components that operate reliably in rugged conditions.

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

Requirements:
Design electrical layouts and schematics for drilling equipment, including power distribution, controls, and instrumentation
Specify and source electrical components (switchgear, VFDs, PLCs, sensors, cables) aligned with rig requirements
Develop wiring diagrams, harness routings, and cabinet layouts, ensuring maintainability and compliance
Coordinate with controls/software teams to integrate I/O points, safety circuits, and communication networks
Perform load calculations, short-circuit/arc flash analysis, and ensure systems meet relevant codes (NEC, NFPA)
Provide field support for commissioning, troubleshooting, and iterative improvements
Build alongside the best engineers, explorers, and operators in the world.
Work directly with our internal and external customers to drive the roadmap.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

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

Qualifications
Extensive experience with industrial electrical systems, panel design, and power distribution.
Proficiency with CAD tools for electrical design (e.g., EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical).
Knowledge of PLC I/O wiring, instrumentation selection, and grounding/shielding best practices.
Familiarity with relevant standards (NEC, UL508A, CE) and safe working practices.
Comfortable working with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical and controls aspects.
Experience diagnosing complex electrical issues in demanding field environments.
Have extensive experience shipping modern, full-stack hardware.
Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high stakes and quick iteration cycles.
Have a bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right.

Benefits
Everyone is an owner, so as the company grows, your equity grows too.
You’ll have the freedom and resources to try new things and iterate quickly.
We also offer 100% healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision), all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are paid for when you're at headquarters, and we can help you find housing nearby.
