Flight test engineer Jobs in Calgary, AB

Description

We're hiring temporary team members (2 positions available) to help test a batch of our Quantum RTLS sensor devices. This is repetitive, hands-on work that follows a defined, step-by-step test procedure. No electronics background is needed. We'll train you on the equipment and software. What matters most is carefully following the procedure and catching the small details.

Location and Work Model

Duration: Minimum 2 weeks, with possible extension

Start date: ASAP

Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

Pay: $20/hour

Location: On-site at our NE Calgary facility

Key Responsibilities

• Update device firmware using our software tool and confirm each device is on the correct version.
• Connect devices to a test workstation and run them through a semi-automated test sequence.
• Check each device's lights, beeper, and vibration motor, and record pass/fail results on screen.
• Place devices in an RF test chamber to complete radio testing.
• Apply printed pass/fail labels correctly, and sort passed units for shipping and failed units for review.
• Run short calibration checks on the test station at set intervals throughout the day.
• Recognize known false-fail results and retest devices when the procedure calls for it.

Skills and Expertise

• Strong attention to detail and the patience to do the same task carefully many times in a row.
• Adept at following written instructions precisely without skipping steps.
• Basic computer skills (using a mouse and keyboard, navigating simple software).
• Ability to tell apart LED colours (red, green, blue, white), hear an audible beep, and handle small devices. Accommodations will be considered.
• Reliability and punctuality for the full assignment.
• Experience in production, assembly, QA, or lab work is an asset but not required.

ZeroKey is building the spatial data layer for Physical AI.

AI transformed the digital economy by capturing every keystroke as data. The physical economy has no equivalent. On a factory floor, every human action, material movement, tool motion, and assembly step is invisible to software, and therefore to AI. We close that gap.

Our patented Quantum RTLS® (35+ patents) is the industry’s most accurate large-scale 3D real-time location system. Using ultrasound instead of cameras, it tracks people, tools, robots, and materials across entire factories with an accuracy of 1.5 millimetres, which is over 100 times more precise than anything else on the market.

That precision is the foundation of something bigger. The spatial data from Quantum RTLS feeds OmniVisor AI™, our agentic platform that puts a dedicated AI process engineer in every work cell. Together, our two technologies process 3.3 billion positions every month and prevent more than 1.1 million production errors every year.

Production accuracy is ultimately a safety story. Automotive and aerospace OEMs trust ZeroKey to verify safety-critical assemblies, torque by torque and step by step, down to the millimetre. The buses and planes they build carry every passenger safely to their destination. Those passengers will never know our name. That is the point.

Venture-backed, headquartered in Calgary, and winner of the 16th Innovation World Cup (2025), ZeroKey is deployed by 250+ customers across 41 countries, including roughly 1 in 10 Fortune Global 500 companies.
