About Sumit Sharma

As a Maintenance Engineer at Chrysos Corporation, I support the operation and reliability of PhotonAssay™ units—cutting-edge, X-ray-based analytical systems revolutionising mineral analysis in the mining industry. I apply my background in mechanical engineering and hands-on expertise in electromechanical systems, vacuum and pneumatic components, and preventive maintenance strategies to ensure maximum system uptime and performance across remote and high-demand environments.I specialise in reducing equipment downtime for both mining site-deployed PhotonAssay™ units and those installed at client laboratories, ensuring consistent throughput and minimal operational disruption. My role includes advanced troubleshooting, supporting root cause analysis (RCA), and collaborating with Physics and other teams to deliver system upgrades and continuous improvements.I leverage CMMS platforms and industry-compliant safety protocols to maintain operational excellence. Passionate about engineering reliability and innovation, I actively contribute to the performance, sustainability, and success of Chrysos' transformative assay technology.
