LiDAR Systems Specialist developing and deploying 3D scanning and data solutions mining operations Job Calgary area,Alberta Canada

Position: LiDAR Systems Specialist responsible for developing and deploying 3D scanning and data solutions for mining operations.

Our client is seeking a hands-on LiDAR Systems Specialist responsible for developing and deploying 3D scanning and data solutions for mining operations.

This is a hybrid role based in Saskatoon that requires 3 days onsite. One year contract with the strong possibility of extension.

Must haves:

Hands-on LiDAR / 3D scanning experience — experience working directly with LiDAR systems and point-cloud data.

Strong software development experience — hands-on programming experience, ideally with Python and/or C++.

3D data processing experience — experience with point-cloud processing, registration, calibration, 3D mapping, reconstruction, or related spatial/3D data applications.

Hands-on field deployment experience — experience taking technology from development into a real-world environment, including installation, configuration, commissioning, troubleshooting, or ongoing support.

Nice to have:

SLAM / LiDAR-inertial SLAM

Robotics or computer vision

Multi-sensor systems

Volumetric measurement / inventory applications

Mining, underground mining, or other industrial environments

Sensor fusion / wheel odometry

ROS/ROS2, Open3D, PCL or similar

Industrial integrations such as SCADA, historians, survey, mine planning or ERP

Experience designing physical mounts, enclosures, power or ruggedized field systems

What You Will Do

Build and deploy LiDAR and 3D scanning systems used in mining operations, from sensor setup and calibration through data processing and visualization.

Develop software that turns LiDAR and point-cloud data into actionable 3D information, including mapping, reconstruction, and volumetric measurement.

Build the data pipelines and web-based tools that make 3D scanning results accessible to operations and engineering teams.

Take systems into the field — install, commission, calibrate, troubleshoot, and improve them at operating sites, including underground environments.

Work closely with mining operations, engineering, survey, automation, and IT/OT teams to turn innovative 3D scanning technology into reliable operational solutions.
