We have been retained by a global leader in mining technology to identify a Lead Mechanical Engineer for their U.S. hub in San Luis Obispo. This role is central to the development of next-generation instruments that integrate advanced electronics and sensors into rugged, field-ready mechanical systems.

As the Lead Mechanical Engineer, you will lead the mechanical function locally, providing direct guidance to an incumbent engineer while collaborating with international teams in North America and Australia. You will design compact and rotating platforms that package multiple sensors and actuators in highly constrained environments, enabling cutting-edge geophysical and drilling instrumentation.

This position offers a balance of hands-on technical design and leadership, with approximately 15–20% of time dedicated to management responsibilities now and the opportunity to grow into a larger leadership role over the next three to four years as the site expands.
