The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring over 10 times more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models alongside novel sensors to guide decisions on exploration programs.
\nIn this role, you will develop state-of-the-art instruments to collect data to guide exploration programs. You will simulate, characterize, and calibrate sensor performance and design new data acquisition systems. Working with vendors and partners, you will build hardware and work with operations staff to deploy it in the field.
\nWith this sensor data and other data sources at KoBold, you will build models and apply a wide range of scientific computing, statistical, and physics-based methods to find places where there is evidence of ore-forming processes at work and to predict the locations of ore-grade mineralization in 2D and 3D.
\nResponsibilities include:

\nAbout the company The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear – even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers.
\nKoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models,alongside our novel sensors,to guide decisions on KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs. In the six years since founding, KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer. Our data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists. KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. KoBold has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery.
\nAbout the Role KoBold is hiring a Finance Manager to help grow our financial planning and analysis function. The right candidate will combine deep FP&A expertise with strong strategic instincts, analytical rigor, and management experience.

We are looking for someone who approaches problems with creativity and optimism, who looks to process improvements, automation, AI-enabled workflows, and better systems.
