Assembly Technician

Our discovery platform integrates proprietary detector hardware, imaging systems and software, inversion technologies, and artificial intelligence to provide x-ray-like visibility up to 1 km underground. We capture, measure, and transform muon data into reliable geophysical surveys and 3D density maps that help geologists identify new mineral and metal deposits with precision and confidence. As a result, they drill less and discover more - reducing cost and risk, saving time, and minimizing environmental impact - ultimately accelerating the world’s transition to low-impact mining.
