Research Scientist I

About Us:

GeologicAI is a fast-growing technology company developing and deploying exciting new technologies for the energy and mining sectors. We build nifty geological robots that scan rocks, train AI to analyze the scan data, and make fancy software that makes all our results incredibly useful for finding and extracting natural resources. We are well-funded, growing rapidly, and looking for amazing people to join our team.

As a Research Scientist, you will support scientific research and analysis by developing software and systems that enable data processing, analysis, and visualization. You will collaborate with several teams and disciplines to reach valuable solutions to existing and visionary products and ideas. Strong technical skills in research, software development, data management, and algorithm development, as well as strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with other members of the scientific team are a must.

Domain knowledge:

- Familiar with image processing theories and practices with good understanding of image processing techniques, such as noise handling, histogram matching, image enhancement, registration, or classification, object detection, pattern recognitions using classic and modern machine learning methods

- familiar with statistical analysis tools and techniques such as linear regression, clustering, factor analysis, time-series analysis, Bayesian inference, feature extraction, objection detection, classification.

- able to develop and optimize advanced algorithms for scientific analysis, including data processing, statistical analysis, computer vision, dimension reduction, etc.

Software Development skills:

- Developing and maintaining software tools, applications, and systems that support scientific research and analysis using Python and other programming languages when needed. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of software development frameworks, algorithms, and problem-solving.

- Testing and debugging software applications to ensure that they function as intended.

- Documenting software requirements, design, and code, as well as developing user manuals and technical documentation, such as using JIRA and Confluence to track software development progress and document technical manuals and reports respectively

Primary Initial Tasks

- Provide well-around image processing and statistic analysis and varied priorities

- Develop new image processing workflow to improve existing products and develop new products.

- Assist troubleshooting and experimental data analysis to improve the product line

Good to have:

- Knowledge of classic computer vision techniques, advanced digital signal processing, such as image processing to utilize image’s color, texture, shape features, image classification and clustering use PCA, SVM, endmember analysis, etc.

- Advanced interpretation and modeling skills, clear understanding of multivariate and spatial associations and data bases and how to model and interpret them to reach answers or prove/disprove hypotheses.

- skillful in re-implementing open-source projects or recent publications to prototype methods with specified data to test feasibility of new algorithms.

- Knowledge and understanding of principles about sensors: frame DSLR cameras, laser scanner, hyperspectral scanner in VNIR and SWIR, spectrometer, XRF, and XRD.

- Knowledge of geology, mineralogy, and petrology.

- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to adapt your style and tone to different audiences and situations

- Strong team cooperation skills, with the ability to collaborate, support, and motivate others, as well as resolve conflicts and give constructive feedback.

- A Bachelor's degree is required; a Master’s or Ph.D. in a relevant field is strongly preferred.

What We Offer:

- Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.

- Opportunities to work on cutting-edge geological technology.

- Global travel and exposure to diverse mining operations.

- A collaborative and innovative work environment with career growth opportunities.
