Job Title: Mechanical Engineer-Mining

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineer-Mining to join our team at the University of Saskatchewan. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing a Machine Learning algorithm to quantify the safety of underground mine roofs and sidewalls using audio recordings of tool impacts on the surface.

Job Summary:

This is a project in the laboratory of Prof. Travis Wiens in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and is a collaboration with Nutrien (the world's largest potash miner) and funded by NSERC.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and optimize a Machine Learning algorithm to predict whether an audio recording is drummy (unsafe) or tight (safe)
  • Work with a dataset of audio recordings of tool impacts on mine walls and roofs, with labels of drummy or tight as identified by experienced mine personnel
  • Collaborate with a student who is currently taking the recordings, as well as other students working on other projects
  • Visit an underground potash mine site to understand the background and possibly to take new data or improve the data recording process
Requirements:
  • Must have completed a degree in a related field within the last five years
  • Demonstrated experience in developing machine learning algorithms with small datasets of arbitrary and/or time-series data
  • Demonstrated experience with dataset feature engineering and dimensionality reduction
  • Demonstrated ability to take the lead role in successfully published paper(s) in high-quality journals or peer-reviewed conferences
  • Experience with recording and processing of audio data
  • Python ML programming experience
  • Familiar with rock mechanics and mine operations
What We Offer:

Flexible hours, based around regular university hours, and working from home part-time is possible. The PDF will be expected to produce regular progress reports, both to their supervisor as well as to industrial partners and funding agencies.
