Lab Technician Advanced Electronics & Prototyping

Role Overview

• Are you highly resourceful, hands-on, and love bringing complex engineering concepts to
• life? We are looking for a versatile Lab Technician to play a crucial role in our research and
• development laboratory.
• In this position, you won't just be sitting at a desk—you will be building, testing, and
• troubleshooting next-generation hardware. You will support our engineering team by
• maintaining a cutting-edge prototyping lab, operating 3D printers, laminating custom
• composite parts, and safely handling high-power electrical setups. If you are naturally handy,
• detail-oriented, and love a job where no two days are the same, we want to hear from you.

Core Responsibilities

•  High-Power Electronics Support: Assist engineers in assembling, wiring, and
• safely testing high-power electronic circuits and pulsed-power components.
•  Composite & Epoxy Fabrication: Hand-fabricate, coat, and cure specialized parts
• using composite materials and epoxy resins, ensuring structural and insulating
• integrity.
•  3D Printing Operations: Manage our suite of 3D printers (FDM/SLA). This includes
• preparing CAD files, optimizing print settings, managing filament/resin stocks, and
• performing post-processing.
•  Lab & General Bench Work: Act as the go-to person in the lab. Modify mechanical
• components, build test fixtures, solder wiring harnesses, and keep the workshop
• organized and operating efficiently.
•  Safety & Maintenance: Ensure the lab complies with strict electrical and chemical
• safety protocols. Perform routine maintenance on machinery and tools.

What We Are Looking For

•  The "Handy" Factor: A strong, proven track record of mechanical aptitude. You are
• comfortable using basic hand tools, power tools, workshop machinery, and precision
• measuring equipment.
•  Electronics Background: Basic understanding of electrical safety and components.
• Experience with soldering, wire crimping, and reading basic schematics is highly
• valued.
•  Materials Experience: Hands-on experience working with epoxies, resins, casting,
• or carbon fibre/fiberglass composites.
•  Digital Fabrication: Proficiency in operating and maintaining desktop 3D printers.
• Basic familiarity with slicing software (e.g., Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer); basic CAD
• tweaking skills are a big plus.
•  Mindset: A safety-first attitude, exceptional organizational skills, and a proactive
• approach to solving physical, electrical and mechanical problems on the fly.

What We Offer

•  Hands-On Innovation: Work directly with cutting-edge high-power tech and
• advanced materials.
•  Dynamic Environment: A highly collaborative team that values practical problem-
• solving over rigid bureaucracy.
•  Skill Growth: Opportunities to expand your expertise in advanced manufacturing,
• multi-physics testing, and aerospace/defence-grade prototyping.
• Due to the nature of this project, applicants must be eligible to obtain the required national security clearances.
