Role Overview :

As an Optical Engineer, your role will be crucial in supporting the design, integration, and testing of state-of-the-art optical systems. This position will involve hands-on tasks such as assembling, calibrating, and inspecting optical components, directly impacting the product development process. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers and grow in a collaborative environment. While having a background in electronics is useful, the main focus of this position will be on optical systems and how they integrate with larger systems.

Core Responsibilities

  • Process refinement – partner with Manufacturing / NPI engineers to optimize build and test processes for subsystems and full systems.
  • Operational support – manage orders, maintain lab / office safety, coordinate instrument shipping, and travel domestically or internationally as needed.
  • Reporting & communication – deliver weekly progress summaries, support clinical testing, and interface with customers.

Lab & Optical Care

  • Maintain and calibrate all lab equipment used for optical assembly and testing.
  • Inspect, clean, and handle optics with precision to keep all surfaces contaminant-free.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues in optical systems; flag component shortages and trigger re-orders.
  • Work alongside senior engineers and industry leaders.
  • Receive hands-on training in optical-system assembly, integration, and cutting-edge medical-imaging technologies.
  • Required Skills & Attributes

  • Strong laboratory skills and enthusiasm for hands-on experimentation.
  • Solid grasp of mechanical systems; logical, analytical, and creative problem-solving ability
  • Fast learner with high energy, openness, and drive.
  • Excellent interpersonal, teamwork, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Fluency in English.
  • Required Experience :

  • Master’s degree (minimum) in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
  • 2–3 years of relevant industry or research experience in optical systems.
  • Schedule :

    This is an immediate in-person job opening at our Kanata, Ontario office.
