AddressFleet Space Technologies is a space-enabled exploration technology company on a mission to dramatically accelerate the discovery of critical minerals needed to decarbonize our global economy. Electric vehicles and other clean energy technologies are vital elements of the world’s efforts to combat climate change, and these will demand many times more critical minerals than today, with an incremental value of over USD $13 trillion. At the same time, finding new mineral deposits is becoming more challenging as we increasingly exhaust the supply of shallow deposits and are forced to explore deeper underground. Traditional exploration methods are poorly suited to address this challenge, so a new approach is needed.
Our approach is to combine space technology, proprietary seismic sensors, cutting edge Ambient Noise Tomography, and machine learning to provide the world’s first scalable 3D exploration dataset with near-real-time insights to guide active exploration programs far more efficiently to new deposits. This is Fleet’s flagship product, ExoSphere - a space-enabled solution for mineral exploration in real-time, in 3D, and under cover with very low environmental impact. Since launching ExoSphere in March 2022, Fleet has signed contracts with over 30 clients including Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold and Core Lithium and completed over 300 Ambient Noise Tomography surveys, more than any other company in the world.
As part of Fleet’s founding vision to connect the Earth, Moon, and Mars, 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 125 employees including a growing team in the USA, Canada, and beyond. We have raised over AUD $85M in venture funding, backed by premier investors including Blackbird, Grok, and In-Q-Tel.
The Team
The Team at Fleet Space Technologies is composed of people-oriented technical experts and business leaders across a diversity of functional areas that are driving significant innovations and shaping solutions for internal and external customers. It's not rocket science, but it's close! One must not only bring proven expertise, but also be open minded, agile, and adaptable to solve yet to be determined challenges that could very well change the world (or another planet’s). We value diversity of perspective, journey, industry experience, skillset, working style, communication preference, and identity; the fact that we come from over 40 nationalities only reinforces our commitment to Inclusion & Diversity.
As a business, we are ambitious, innovative, and collaborative and we put our customers first in everything that we do. We love celebrating our successes, and we have had a lot to celebrate to date including Series C Funding and selection of our Technology to be the first Australian hardware to be deployed on the Moon. Come help shape the future through this fantastic opportunity!

The Role
Fleet Space Technologies is seeking an intern for our ExoSphere team. You will be responsible for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data related to our Multiphysics research and development efforts comparing ambient noise tomography (ANT) to gravity data. Your insights will be instrumental in shaping feature development and contributing to Fleet’s library of case studies to share with customers and key stakeholders. Reporting to the ExoSphere Group Product Manager, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including our geophysicists, program managers, engineers, client managers, and technical leadership, as well as other internal and external stakeholders.
Success in this role requires a curiosity-first mindset towards understanding the constraints and possibilities within geophysics, particularly with measuring, processing and inverting ground gravity data. This role is also an opportunity for candidates to learn about product research and development at a fast-paced agile hardware/software development setting.
Location
The preferred location of this role is the western United States or Canada (remote) or Adelaide, South Australia. Students must be enrolled in a graduate program in one of these jurisdictions.
***Applicants must have full working rights from one of the following jurisdictions: Australia, Canada, or United States of America.
Main Responsibilities
This role will be responsible for, but not limited to:
- Analyze and develop technical framework for comparing different ground gravity data collection methods and setups
- Collaborate with Fleet Geoscientists and Engineers on technical requirements for Fleet’s data products and geophysical hardware
- Engage with Fleet external stakeholders, clients, and vendors to execute on in-field trials and tests
- Research and collaborate on 1-2 Fleet Case Studies on new geophysics data approaches on how to integrate ground gravity data with Fleet’s current ANT technology
Key Skills and Required Experience
- Bachelor’s (Tertiary) Degree in Geology, Geophysics, Seismology, or related fields of study
- Currently enrolled in a master’s or doctorate program in Geology, Seismology, Geophysics, or related fields
- Previous experience researching or working with in-field data collection of ground gravity geophysical survey data
- Excellent written and verbal communication including ability to provide context and recommendations on experiment results
- Familiarity with Python and/or SQL
- Organized and detail-oriented mindset
- Must have full working rights within the USA, Canada, or Australia.
