Job Description

About RockMass

RockMass is a seed-stage start-up providing streamlined digital solutions for the mine of the future. We have a talented and diverse team working together to solve challenging problems. We are team players who value transparency and thrive on the hard work others put in around us.

Our Product - Mapper

We are building the future of data capture for underground environments. We're continuously inventing new capabilities for our vertical-stack solution in an industry ripe for change. Our product is a handheld data collection tool that enables engineers to capture real-time numerical data. We combine our proprietary algorithm with the same sensors found in autonomous cars assembled in a rugged casing.



You will be working with the hardware and software engineering teams within RockMass Technologies and will assist with the production and delivery of our product. You will be responsible from the beginning to the very end of the production of the Mapper: electronically and mechanically assembling of the Mapper to shipping out the units around the world. This is a diverse hands-on role, and it is perfect for someone who likes to take the ownership of the process and lead their ways.

You will excel in this position if you enjoy taking initiative, have a keen attention to detail, and are solution driven. You will also excel in this position if you enjoy hands-on building challenges and problem solving. At a critical time for our company's growth, your skillsets will offer immense value to our company.

You are detail oriented and love to dig deep if a problem arises with the electro-mechanical system in your hands. You dream about having your own makerspace, with all types of tools around you, 3D printers running in the background, and you are debugging the system with a soldering iron.
