Autonomous mining software and sensor systems for surface and underground operations
Hexagon Mining builds measurement and autonomy software for mining operators—connecting sensors, digital twins, and AI analytics to optimize extraction and safety. The tech stack is heavily C/C++/.NET with embedded Linux, paired with enterprise data tools (SQL, Power BI, Tableau, SAP, Oracle), reflecting a company managing both real-time field systems and back-office analytics. Engineering dominates hiring (28 of 73 active roles), with accelerating velocity across 9 countries, while project backlog emphasizes drilling automation, Linux distribution maintenance, and deployment at scale—indicating rapid productization of autonomous solutions.
Hexagon Mining is the mining-focused division of Hexagon AB, a public measurement-technology company headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. The division develops software and robotic sensor systems for surface and underground mining operations, emphasizing autonomous technologies, digital twins, and AI-powered analytics to improve productivity, safety, and resource optimization. Deployment complexity is a core operational challenge: the company actively manages large on-site implementations, drilling rig automation rollouts, and infrastructure maintenance (embedded Linux distributions). With 501–1,000 employees globally and active hiring across nine countries, the organization balances field-level support and sales with backend engineering for autonomous systems and data pipelines.
C/C++, .NET, C#, embedded Linux, SQL, SAP, Oracle, Power BI, Tableau, React, Salesforce, and specialized industrial protocols (CAN Bus, Ethernet). The stack spans real-time autonomous systems (embedded Linux, C/C++) and enterprise analytics/ERP (SAP, Oracle, Power BI).
Drilling rig automation, autonomous mining system deployments, embedded Linux distribution maintenance, digital twin development, and automation-script tooling for system configuration. Current focus areas include efficiency gains in drilling and underground operations optimization.
