TerraSense Analytics is looking to expand!

We’re a fully funded startup: enjoy the culture, environment and pace of a startup with the security and financial stability of an established company.

WHY WORK WITH US?

We believe in the change we can bring with our technology. Our technology is on the forefront of AI and deep learning with real world application. We work together with NVIDIA, UBC and Transport Canada to help modernize Canada. Our products work with two sectors: Aerospace and the Defense sector.

We’re located in the beautiful city of Kelowna, British Columbia. We’re convinced it’s the greatest place on earth and to prove it, we’re offering the right person the chance to experience it with us: we’ll pay for the relocation fees.
