You’ll be part of a collaborative team that sets up and runs experiments in our world-class wind tunnel facilities. This role is ideal for those who enjoy working in a dynamic, technical environment where attention to detail and craftsmanship matter.

  • Physical assembly of the test model onto the testing platform
  • Physical assembly of testing sensors into the wind tunnel
  • Physical connection of sensors to data acquisition equipment
  • Configuration of various software programs to facilitate data collection

  • Ensure acquired data meets quality control standards
  • Communication and collaboration with internal and external team members
  • Safe operation of equipment and tools
  • Following SOPs in relation to handling and operating equipment and instrumentation
  • Performing all duties effectively to meet project timelines

  • Hands-on skills relating to carpentry or physical assembly of components, including the use of various hand and power tools
  • Technologically inclined and competent using windows-based programs
  • Excellent attention to detail in both physical and computer environments
  • Logical thinker with good judgement and decision-making abilities
  • Ability to work with commitment and accuracy under pressure to successfully meet deadlines
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to adapt to changing priorities
  • Ability to lift up to 50lbs
  • Self-starter and able to work independently and as part of a team
  • Post-Secondary education in Instrumentation Technology is considered an asset

What We Offer:

  • An opportunity to redefine possible.
  • Salary range: $50,000.00 - $56,000.00 (based on experience)
  • Group health benefits.
  • Proactive and ongoing training, education, and a Learning Spending Account.
  • Fitness Spending Account
  • An abundance of career paths and opportunities to advance.
