Senior/Principal Geophysicist (tech sales)

Join to apply for the Senior/Principal Geophysicist (tech sales) role at Ideon Technologies

Founded and based in Richmond, BC, Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The world pioneer in cosmic-ray muon tomography, Ideon has developed the REVEAL™ Subsurface Intelligence Platform™, comprising an advanced suite of proprietary data-generation hardware, software, AI-powered services, and multi-physics fusion that provide x-ray-like visibility deep underground and unlock the exponential power of integrated spatial data.

By transforming muon data into reliable 3D density maps, Ideon helps geologists identify, map, characterize, and monitor mineral deposits with confidence. This reduces risk and cost of traditional methods, while saving time, optimizing return, and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. In turn, this is helping accelerate the world’s transition to low‑impact mining and transform how companies recover the critical minerals required to power the global shift to clean energy – improving peoples’ lives and enhancing economic prosperity.

We are a dynamic tech scale‑up of nearly 70 employees. We are a team that is entrepreneurial by nature and focused on doing things right to deliver great customer outcomes. And we are committed to seeking out the best brains and the most exceptional humans, wherever they come from and however they happen to be packaged.

• Assess technology application feasibility on known use cases and as‑yet‑unstudied use‑cases and geological features
• Propose technically feasible solutions that create value for our customers while upholding the integrity of the science behind our products
• Bring customer projects to fruition by developing, running and/or validating survey simulations as needed during project development
• Perform geophysical data quality assessment, processing, analysis, and interpretation
• Process and analyze newly acquired data using Python in Jupyter Notebooks and Geoscience ANALYST
• Create multi dataset and constrained inversions
• Complete data usability assessments
• Distill and present results effectively internally and with customers
• Own the overall technical quality and proficiency for data processing and analysis for assigned projects
• Develop, refine and/or apply standard operating procedures for data management, processing, analysis, storage and reporting
• Understand and commit to good software and project documentation practices

Outcomes we are looking for in your first 6 months include:

• Deliver Ideon and customer objectives at a high level of quality and with a “white glove” level of service
• Become a reliable, responsive, and trusted technical partner for the business development team
• Contribute to developing features within the code base
• Successfully manage fast‑paced analysis of data within required deadlines
• Be an impactful contributor to the overall value of the Geosciences, Technical Solutions, and Business Development teams
