2 Finite Difference Jobs

As a Numerical Modelling & Programming specialist, you will be responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing numerical algorithms within various software platforms for mining applications. Your role will involve writing and maintaining efficient, scalable code in languages such as C++, Python, and FISH, customized to geotechnical and rock mechanics modelling workflows. Additionally, you will be expected to customize and extend functionalities of tools like FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3DEC, and other geomechanical software through scripting and API integration. Your duties will also include designing and deploying coding solutions to automate repetitive tasks, thereby enhancing efficiency across engineering workflows. You will need to identify and implement opportunities for process automation, contributing to resource optimization and improved modelling productivity. Collaboration with engineers, geologists, and technical leads is crucial to understand project requirements and translate them into software-based solutions. Moreover, integrating developed scripts and automation routines into existing platforms and project workflows will be part of your responsibilities. Quality assurance plays a significant role in your job profile, where conducting rigorous testing and validation of numerical models and coding deliverables is essential to ensure technical reliability and robustness. Participation in peer code reviews and contribution to the establishment and enforcement of coding best practices and standards will be expected from you. Staying current with industry trends in numerical modelling, simulation, and automation is crucial. You will be required to contribute to innovation by researching and applying new technologies like machine learning, generative AI, and image recognition to tackle mining challenges effectively. In terms of mandatory skills, excellent verbal and written communication in English is necessary. Strong programming proficiency in C++, Python, and FISH is also a must. A solid foundation in computer science, information technology, or engineering (mining/geotechnical preferred) is expected, along with the willingness and ability to learn new programming languages and software tools. Desired skills for this role include prior experience with mining or geotechnical modelling software, exposure to automation and scripting in engineering applications, familiarity with machine learning algorithms, generative AI, and image recognition technologies, and a proven ability to innovate and challenge conventional approaches in a technical environment. To be eligible for this position, you should possess a Bachelor's or higher degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Additionally, you should have 7-10 years of experience in programming, ideally in support of mining or geotechnical applications, with demonstrated experience in coding for finite difference and discrete element methods, particularly in mining/civil engineering contexts.,
