Talent Acquisition at Fleet Space | Space-enabled technology to revolutionise mineral discovery, defence capabilities, and space exploration
The preferred location for this role is Perth with hybrid working however we are open to remote working in Australia or North America than can have a minimum of 4 hours of overlap with Perth business hours.
Fleet Space is pushing the boundaries of seismic data to help explorers find the critical minerals the world needs. We're looking for an Area Geophysicist to lead seismic processing projects, someone who can take raw data from the field and transform it into the clearest possible picture of what lies beneath.
You’ll own the full seismic processing workflow from 2D/3D land acquisition through to depth imaging, while driving R&D initiatives that advance what's possible in hard rock seismic. If you’ve spent years mastering the craft of active land seismic processing and want to apply that expertise to mineral exploration at the frontier of the industry, this is your opportunity.
Role Responsibilities
* Seismic Processing: Deliver land seismic processing and imaging projects, support business development and research as directed by management.
* Technical Excellence: Maintain the company's reputation for processing excellence in the domain of hard rock seismic.
* Project Delivery: Process data to a high standard in a timely manner based on specific project objectives and due dates.
* Strategy Input: Contribute at the highest level to technical strategy and determine how innovative technology affects the business. In particular, you will work with a broad range of geoscientists to deliver new seismic processing algorithms.
* Reporting: Provide regular milestone updates on project progress and prepare clear documentation of processing testing and production.
* Stakeholder Engagement: Interact with internal technical departments and clients to refine and produce the best possible output.
* Mentorship: Mentor and train junior staff while helping to establish processes and procedures to maintain best practices.
* Business Development: Conduct technical presentations to promote hard rock seismic to the minerals industry.
What we are looking for
* At least 10 years of experience as a Geophysicist with extensive experience in active land seismic processing
* Proven ability to be hands on and carry out conventional 2D/3D land seismic processing in complex environments on start to finish projects
* Bachelors or higher in Geophysics
* Extensive experience in depth imaging and velocity model building, including pre-stack depth imaging
* Expertise with SeisSpace, Claritas & DUG Insight
* Experience in fast paced, agile environments
* Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
* Track record of technical innovation and problem-solving
* Ability to mentor technical staff and collaborate effectively across teams
Highly Desirable:
* Experience in hard rock seismic data processing
* Full waveform inversion (FWI) experience
* Programming proficiency in Python
* Recognition as a technical expert in the seismic processing domain
* Experience in S-wave processing, VSP, refraction tomography, or geo-technical applications (MASW, passive seismic, etc.)
About Fleet Space
Fleet Space Technologies' vision from the beginning was to build technologies to help humanity explore and connect the Earth, Moon, and Mars.
This led us to develop and launch one of Australia's largest constellation of satellites, create our satellite-enabled mineral exploration technology (ExoSphere), and send Australia's first seismic technology (SPIDER) to the Moon in 2026. ExoSphere, our end-to-end mineral exploration solution powered by space and AI, aims to accelerate critical mineral discovery needed for the clean energy technologies foundational to humanity's future.
As part of Fleet's founding vision, we also apply our technology to innovative solutions for defense and space exploration, including an upcoming mission to the Moon. Headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, Fleet has rapidly grown to over 160 employees including a growing team in the USA, Canada, and beyond.
We have raised over $200M AUD in venture funding, backed by premier investors including Blackbird, TVG, Grok, and In-Q-Tel including our most recent $150M Series D in December 2024, at a valuation of over $800M.
