Software Engineer, Manager

Mine Vision Systems is a mining technology company building the decision-making platform for underground mining. We introduce high-fidelity data into the mining workflow that has simply never existed before enabling operators to move from assumptions to evidence-based decisions. Our digital infrastructure is designed to map monitor and manage the underground mining environment with confidence creating a persistent data-rich foundation for operational and strategic decision-making. Since the launch of our flagship product FaceCapture in late 2023 adoption has accelerated rapidly as customers realize the value of truly understanding their underground operations.

We focus on underground mining of critical minerals and precious metals where small improvements in accuracy and insight drive outsized returns. Our technology delivers millions of dollars in annual value by minimizing overbreak improving ore calls enhancing resource models and enabling a growing set of high-impact applications across the mine lifecycle. By transforming raw underground data into actionable intelligence Mine Vision Systems empowers mining teams to operate more efficiently more predictably and with greater confidence than ever before.
