Our team is a diverse, tight knit group of engineers, scientists, and business professionals that likes to spend time together in and out of the office, whether that is weekly badminton nights or team lunches.

The Role

We’re hiring a Materials Intelligence & IP Engineer to help guide the technical direction of the Crypsis Class platform through applied research, analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.

In this role, you’ll contribute to building a deep technical understanding of advanced material systems by integrating insights from experimentation, testing, and a broad range of technical sources. Your work will support how we evaluate material performance, design testing strategies, and make informed decisions as the technology evolves.

This role sits at the intersection of materials science, applied R&D, and intellectual property, with visibility across research, test development, and product planning efforts. It’s well suited to someone who enjoys synthesizing complex information, working across disciplines, and translating technical understanding into durable program and IP outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the development and evaluation of advanced multispectral camouflage materials and systems through applied research, experimentation, and analysis.
  • Integrate information from a range of technical sources (e.g., scientific literature, patents, internal data, and testing results) to inform research directions, testing approaches, and product development decisions.
  • Support laboratory, simulation, and field-based testing activities in collaboration with test development, formulation, and applications teams.
  • Assist in the development and refinement of repeatable evaluation methods, experimental protocols, and data summaries.
  • Work cross-functionally to translate material and system-level performance considerations into actionable inputs for testing, product development, and technology planning.
  • Contribute to intellectual property- and grant-related technical writing in coordination with internal leadership and external counsel.
  • Maintain clear and organized technical documentation to support internal knowledge sharing, reporting, and long-term program continuity.
  • Operate effectively in a dynamic R&D environment, balancing analysis, hands-on work, and documentation while adapting to evolving priorities.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, or a closely related technical disciplines
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret, integrate, and apply complex technical information from sources such as scientific literature, patents, and internal data.
  • Hands-on experience in materials research, formulation development, coatings, textiles, or applied laboratory experimentation.
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to reason about material performance drivers, tradeoffs, and system-level behavior.
  • Experience working in cross-functional technical environments, collaborating with scientists, engineers, and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous or evolving problem spaces, with the ability to self-direct and prioritize work.
  • Clear written communication skills, including the ability to contribute to technical documentation, reports, or disclosures.
  • Prior exposure to intellectual property development, such as invention disclosures, patent support, or technical white papers.
  • Security Requirements

    You must meet CISD and DDTC requirements for secret level personal security clearances to be eligible for this role. You are not required to have a security clearance already, although having one is a bonus.

    If you do not already have CISD and DDTC security clearances, Alchemy will request information during the final steps of the interview process to perform a preliminary assessment for eligibility and likelihood of success in gaining a security clearance. If successful, we will assist you through the administrative process of gaining any required security clearances following your start date.

    Other Requirements

    In addition, to be considered for this position you must :

  • Legally be able to work in Canada
  • Pass federal and local criminal background checks
  • Able to commute to our headquarters in Kitchener
  • #J-18808-Ljbffr
