Working Title: Geophysical Analyst

Reports to: Team Lead, Data Centre Solutions

Based in: Ottawa, ON (Hybrid)

Term: Full-time

About Us

Despite everything we know, the Earth still has its mysteries. Beneath the surface, it is ever-changing and there is still much to understand. At Nanometrics, we develop industry leading instrumentation and services used to measure and record the very precise movements of the earth. Our innovative products and services are deployed in the most remote locations on the Earth - from the bottom of the ocean to the peak of the Matterhorn - to study man-made and natural seismicity. As a member of the Nanometrics team, you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with all areas of the business to expand the boundaries of seismic research and explore the unknown/discover the inner workings of our planet.

About You

You have exceptional communications skills and are goal oriented with a focus on results for the customer. You pride yourself on being a team player with a high level of ethics and integrity. You always have a keen attention to detail. You have also been a Geoscientist in the field of Seismology, Oil & Gas or Mining related industry, and have prior experience with real-time local or regional seismic network data acquisition, management and analysis. You enjoy working with Seismology department sales, network deployments and best practices that can be leveraged to incorporate Seismic Monitoring Services turnkey solutions as a deliverable to traditional Seismology clients.

The Team

We are a Data Analysis / Geophysics Team working collaboratively with the Science and Development, Operations, and Sales teams. We are a high functioning team of passionate analysts that provide 24/7 state-of-the-art monitoring solutions to customers around the globe - striving to make our clients’ lives better.

The Role:

• Generate technical reports and presentations for clients. Present processing results and lead technical discussions with clients
• Assist with the implementation and integration of new geophysical data processing techniques into client project workflows
• Daily support / review of automatically-detected seismic events for real-time seismic monitoring systems
• Coordinate all aspects of the event QC/QA function including event QC metric, event review performance KPIs and any associated training and recommendations for the entire team of analysts
• Processing and/or QC-ing of seismic events using internal Analyst toolkits, to assist in high workload periods and to gain a working insight into the tools, workflows and challenges inherent in complex seismicity monitoring projects and datasets

• Prior experience with processing of surface and downhole microseismic data sets
• Prior experience working with ground motion parameters such as PGA, PGV, and response spectra with respect to seismic hazard analysis and threshold monitoring
• Prior experience with any of the following seismic data processing techniques: double difference relocation, velocity model building, STA/LTA triggering, template matching, beamforming, noise-reduction filtering, event magnitude computation, focal mechanism/moment tensor inversion and stress field inversion
• Prior experience with programming and/or scripting languages

Why You’ll Love Us:

• Competitive total compensation package
• A positive, innovative and empowering work environment
• Many opportunities for personal growth and development with a strong focus on career progression and training
