About the role

Mariana Minerals is building the critical minerals supply chain from the ground up and seeks a Machine Learning Engineer to help make it autonomous as part of a mining company that designs and operates its own processes. You will work on real plant data and simulators to optimize lithium recovery, energy use, and uptime. You will collaborate with process and chemistry experts, develop RL-driven control models, and ship implementation-ready code that affects live facilities in Michigan.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
