About the role
- We're not a software company selling tools to mining operators.
- Today, we're producing battery-grade lithium salts from real oil and gas wastewater in our facilities.
- Our first commercial-scale lithium production facility, Lithium One, is targeting initial production in Q1 of 2027.
Responsibilities
- Own the autonomy roadmap across multiple circuits and facilities-deciding which unit operations to automate next and where investment in simulation and modeling pays off.
- Set the standards for our simulators and our modeling stack, so the whole team builds controllers that are reproducible, safe, and grounded in real project economics.
- Partner with leadership on major capital and operational decisions, translating techno-economic and process insight into strategy.
- Multiply the team through technical direction, design review, and mentoring of engineers at every level-and partner with our data engineering leaders to shape the data platform the autonomy roadmap requires. You own the modeling and the on-plant outcome
- they own the backbone.

- You own the modeling and the on-plant outcome; they own the backbone.
Requirements
- When you ship here, you can literally watch the physics change.
- A track record of setting technical direction for ML systems in physical, industrial, robotics, or control domains.
- 8+ years in machine learning engineering (or an exceptional 6+ with demonstrated org-level technical leadership), including production ML or control systems that ran in the real world.
- Deep expertise in reinforcement learning under non-stationarity, simulation and digital twins, and closing sim-to-real gaps-plus the judgment to know when a simpler approach wins.
Company info
- We are a mining company that builds software.
