Job Description

ABOUT MINE VISION SYSTEMS
MVS is on a mission to unify and optimize the fragmented data collection and analysis processes in underground mining.  We invented a precise and real-time underground location platform that is a gateway to remote monitoring and autonomous equipment operations in the mining of critical minerals and precious metals.  Our products optimize human and computer decision making, leading to more productive, safe and efficient mining operations.

OUR OPPORTUNITY

The adoption of smart technology in underground mining is limited by fragmented solutions and poor quality or inaccessible data.  The market winners will be the companies that successfully deliver high value insights and simplify the friction involved with adoption.  Our underground location platform, multi-sensing modality system, and focus on workflows provides many options to monetize new products and our platform.  We are seeking highly driven employees to help us create our success story.

As a Sr. Robotics Software Engineer you will be responsible for designing, implementing, simulating, testing, and iteratively refining software systems and algorithms for integrated robotic systems used in mining applications. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design and implementation of perception, localization, navigation and planning algorithms to performantly solve challenging real-world problems in mining operations where high-precision positioning data is not available
• Produce robust algorithms and software suitable for commercial applications and products
• Rigorously test and validate solutions under a wide range of real-world conditions and customer processes
• Travel up to 10% to work sites beyond the corporate office to support clients and conduct field trials in mining environments

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
