## Job description

## ABOUT THE COMPANY

The transition to a sustainable future requires discovering new mineral resources to power clean technologies and renewable energy solutions. From lithium for electric vehicle batteries, to copper for wind turbines, and rare earth elements for electronics, these minerals are the building blocks of our energy transition. Lithosquare radically speeds up mineral exploration by combining foundational AI, geological expertise, and real-world data to reduce uncertainty, prioritize the right targets, reduce costs and accelerate discovery. Based in Paris, Lithosquare gathered an exceptional team of geologists, scientists, AI engineers, and data specialists to work as one, from field sampling to model optimization and push the boundaries of what's possible.

## ABOUT THE JOB

As a Geophysicist at Lithosquare, you will operate at the intersection of mineral exploration geophysics, exploration geology, and AI innovation. This is a dual role: you will drive innovation in how we integrate and interpret geophysical data into our AI platform, while directly supporting project teams in campaign design, planning and interpretation. We are looking for a senior profile - someone who brings deep expertise across mining geophysics methods, an innovative mindset to challenge and improve standard approaches, and the collaborative energy to thrive in a cross-disciplinary team. This role also includes contributions beyond pure geophysics, as part of our integrated geology team. The role is based in Paris.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Drive innovation in Lithosquare's AI technology platform: improve how geophysical data is ingested, processed and interpreted by our models
- Support project teams in geophysical campaign design, planning and execution
- Lead geophysical data interpretation across active exploration projects
- Propose and test new interpretive approaches - bring fresh thinking beyond conventional geophysics workflows
- Contribute to broader geology project work beyond pure geophysics - this is a full exploration team role
- Collaborate closely with geology and tech teams to build better AI-powered exploration technology
- Stay current with advances in mining geophysics and bring relevant innovations to the team

## WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- 7+ years of experience in mining or mineral exploration geophysics
- Deep expertise in at least two mining geophysics methods
- Proven experience designing and managing geophysical field campaigns
- Innovative mindset - not just able to apply standard methods, but to question and improve them
- Strong team player comfortable with cross-disciplinary teams (geologists, data scientists, engineers)
- Appetite for contributing to geology work beyond pure geophysics
- Mission-driven: a genuine passion for the energy transition and solving hard physical-world problems through innovation

## PERKS & BENEFITS

- 🏢 Offices located in the heart of Paris
- 🌱 Strong culture of ownership & entrepreneurship
- 🌍 Opportunity to significantly contribute to energy transition
- 👥 Collaborative work environment with world-class experts in geology, AI, and data science
- 🔄 Flexible work arrangements enabling work-life balance
- 🚴 Sustainable mobility allowance (Forfait Mobilité Durable)
- 🏋️ Gym pass
- 🎉 Frequent team drinks, events & regular off-sites
- 💰 Competitive salary package
- 🍽️ Meal vouchers and health insurance coverage (Alan)

Join Lithosquare and become part of a passionate team driving innovation at the intersection of AI and Earth exploration. Let's make a tangible difference together!
