Data Analyst, In-line Inspection (ILI) Full Time

Your Job

DarkVision, part of Koch Engineered Solutions, is seeking a Data Analyst for our Pipeline In-line Inspection (ILI) Data Analysis team.

DarkVision uses state-of-the-art proprietary acoustic imaging technologies to provide asset inspection services to industrial clients. This ultrasound system gathers immense datasets and identifies defects as small as a few millimeters. Automated processing, measurement, classification, and visualization algorithms are crucial due to the time-consuming and inconsistent nature of manual processing.

In this role, you will interpret ultrasound data obtained from DarkVision’s Pipeline Inline-Inspection (ILI) tool to produce accurate and reliable inspection reports, essential for the safe operation of oil and gas pipelines. You will be responsible for identifying and annotating features within ultrasound imaging data, creating visualizations, and generating client reports.

Our experts from across the machine vision, imaging, computer graphics, and data analytics sectors have worked to create the most technologically advanced platform for pipeline and downhole diagnostics. Come join our team as we embark on the exciting journey ahead to become the global leader in industrial imaging.

***This position is full-time on-site in our HQ in North Vancouver, BC. While this position will start in our Research & Innovation team, you will eventually transition to a dedicated ILI Data Analysis position within the Data Team.***

Our Team

Our Data Analysts utilize 3D data visualization software and human-in-the-loop machine learning processes to meticulously analyze ultrasound datasets.

• Ultrasound- or acoustics-based asset integrity data management or analysis.
• Pipeline inspection services and data analysis.
• Upstream oil and gas production or processing.
• Experience in quality control processes and preparing client-facing reports.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Professional experience programming in Python.
• Experience in developing analyses, code, and dashboards to automate and enhance processes in an industry application.
• Experience in ILI or NDE/NDT
• Experience in the Oil & Gas industry
• Experience gathering, evaluating, and investigating image/computer vision data
• Experience working with spatial or GIS data
• Demonstrated ability as a self-starter and independent contributor, adept at efficiently and proactively managing new tasks.
