Finding the materials of the future with AI and HI. Backed by a16z.
About the role
This role will drive the design, development, and deployment of new subsurface imaging hardware, on muon projects with high energy physics detectors and seismic measurements with seismometers. This role is ideal for an engineer or scientist who thrives at the intersection of science, engineering, and data and is excited about bringing new technology to life. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Vendor selection and management
More about this role
In the coming decades, demand for critical minerals such as copper, lithium, and cobalt will continue to grow. These minerals are needed to build electric infrastructure, vehicles, data centers, and electronics. However, the mining industry is making 10x fewer discoveries per dollar spent on exploration compared to 30 years ago because the easy-to-find, near surface deposits have largely been discovered.
KoBold was founded to be the first AI native mineral exploration, mine development, and technology development company. Our goal is to turn mineral exploration into a repeatable science to discover the minerals the world needs—by integrating artificial intelligence, human intelligence, and new technology. Our multidisciplinary teams of data scientists, engineers, and geologists work together to build data systems, design new sensors, and establish industry-leading workflows to develop and test subsurface predictions on our exploration projects.
Our first discovery, Mingomba, is a high-grade copper deposit in Zambia, found after spending materially less than industry average. We are developing Mingomba with the same technical rigor that we apply to exploration. The Mingomba team...
