The son of the mountain commissioner Johann Christian Schmid and his wife Christiane Friderike († March 18, 1759 in Eisleben), the only daughter of the mayor of Eisleben Christian Ferdinand Wappendeusch, lost his mother at the age of six.

His brothers also included Karl Ferdinand Schmid , professor of ethics and associate professor of natural and international law in Wittenberg, as well as the legal scholar, literary scholar and rhetorician Christian Heinrich Schmid , professor in Gießen .

On March 21, 1774 Ernst Rudolph Wilhelm Schmid received his doctorate from the University of Leipzig . On the occasion of this day, four of his friends had a commemorative publication printed. This publication was reprinted in 1935. Among them was an essay by Freiberg chief miner Christian Wilhelm Friedrich Schmid on the rights of mountain leather .

In 1779 he was placed at his father Johann Christian Schmid's side as an adjunct in the Bergvogtei Thuringia . After his death in 1785, he officially took over this important office, which was also associated with the function of tithe in Sangerhausen and Bottendorf, as well as senior tithe in the County of Stolberg, as well as being a member of the Wickerode Mining Authority . While on duty, Schmid died in 1795 one day after his 42nd birthday.
