Job description

The New Standard in Mineral Intelligence

Where most people see a rock, we see data. Hypermine is a deep-tech startup

engineering breakthrough hyperspectral laser to see beyond the surface: delivering

real-time mineralogical data right in the mines, which was previously impossible to

capture outside of a laboratory. Our technology gives real-time mineral insights to

help maximize efficiency and minimize the environmental impact in mining, by

allowing our customers to optimize their operations, reduce waste, and transition

toward more sustainable extraction processes.

What we are doing is not just building another sensor; we’re building the foundational

intelligence for sustainable mining. We develop and manufacture our high-

performance laser-based sensing equipment entirely in-house, leveraging our

proprietary, patented technology to deliver precise and reliable solutions. We are

seeking an inspired professional to join our international, fast-paced team solving a

real-world problem on a massive scale. If you want to be part of creating world-first

technology for the harshest environments on Earth, we should talk!

The Role

We are looking for a Design Engineer to join our team in Espoo. This is a full-time

position that might include occasional business travel.

The Design Engineer will be responsible for:

• Designing and developing hardware for a mobile platform to integrate Hypermine sensing system.
• Developing system solutions for mechanical architecture, power supply chain, thermal management, and environmental protection.
• Defining product concepts, building prototypes, and supporting the full product development lifecycle from design through validation, testing and production.
• Supporting product integration, customer demonstrations, commissioning, and product improvements.
