Expected outcomes include safely prepared and traceable samples; repeatable tests completed to defined procedures; laboratory equipment maintained, verified, and ready for use; accurate data and observations documented in a timely manner; and issues escalated when results, equipment, or samples do not meet requirements. Common activities include cutting, mounting, grinding, and polishing samples; conducting routine laboratory tests and inspections; capturing images and measurements; maintaining consumables, calibration, and 5S; and supporting failure-analysis and development activities.
What you will bring:
Education: Two- to three-year college diploma in engineering, materials, mechanical, manufacturing, or chemical laboratory technology (or a related discipline). Equivalent laboratory experience may be considered.
Experience: 2+yrs hands-on experience in a laboratory, test, manufacturing, or quality environment, including preparing samples, using measurement or inspection equipment, following controlled procedures, and recording results accurately. Materials Lab experience preferred; formal Materials Science training not required.
Technical Skills: Sample cutting, mounting, grinding, and polishing; optical microscopy; hardness testing; dimensional and visual inspection; basic surface/coating evaluation and mechanical testing; calibration checks; sample traceability; 5S; technical reporting; Microsoft 365.
Assets: WHMIS, lab safety, or chemical handling training; familiarity with metallography, tensile testing, tribology, profilometry, SEM sample preparation, or laboratory information systems.
Additional Information:
• Compensation: $55,000 to $70,000 annually
• Recruitment Technology:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to screen, assess, or select applicants for this position.
• Accommodations for disabilities in relation to the job selection process are available upon request.
