Solutions Engineer – Mining Automation & Geospatial Technology

Solutions Engineer

Skycatch is transforming mining with high-accuracy drone mapping, AI-powered analytics, and automation tools that enable safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations. Our solutions are deployed in top global mining companies and we're a trusted partner to industry leaders like Caterpillar and NVIDIA, helping mines transition toward autonomy, precision planning, and near-real-time decision-making.

We're looking for a Solutions Engineer who's as comfortable walking a haul road in steel-toe boots as presenting ROI-driven analytics in the boardroom. You'll be the bridge between real mining pains and cutting-edge Skycatch technology.

What You'll Do

• Lead proof of concepts and demos at mine sites worldwide, showing how Skycatch's drone automation and geospatial analytics solve real operational problems.
• Map customer pain points (haul road compliance, mine plan validation, stockpile accuracy, highwall safety) to Skycatch workflows and business outcomes.
• Design and present technical proposals that clearly communicate ROI and operational impact.
• Deliver onboarding & training to surveyors, engineers, operations, and safety teams so Skycatch becomes part of their daily workflow.
• Ensure customer success post-deployment, monitoring usage, surfacing new use cases, and supporting contract renewals/expansion.
• Collaborate closely with sales, product, and engineering teams to bring customer feedback into future Skycatch innovations.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in mining operations, ideally in mine planning, surveying, geotechnical, or production engineering.
• Familiarity with open-pit mining workflows, safety standards, and operational KPIs.
• Experience with survey/GIS tools (RTK GPS, LiDAR, photogrammetry, ArcGIS, Vulcan, Deswik, Mine Star, Hexagon, or similar).
• Ability to connect operational metrics (e.g., truck availability, fuel burn, downtime) to technical solutions.

Skills & Traits

• Confident presenting to both frontline crews and C-suite executives.
• Hands-on technologist, comfortable flying a drone, troubleshooting network connectivity, or configuring software in the field.
• Problem solver who thrives in dynamic, high-pressure environments.
• Willingness to travel frequently to customer sites worldwide.

Why Join Us

• Be part of a global leader in mining digitization and autonomy enablement.
• Work with cutting-edge technology — autonomous drone systems, AI analytics, real-time data processing.
• Make a tangible impact on safety, productivity, and sustainability in mining.
• Collaborate with some of the biggest names in mining and heavy equipment manufacturing.
