Job description

Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The world pioneer in cosmic-ray muon tomography, Ideon has developed the REVEAL™ Subsurface Intelligence Platform™, comprised of proprietary data-generation hardware, software, Al-powered services, and multi-physics fusion that provide x-ray-like visibility deep underground and unlock the exponential power of integrated spatial data. In turn, this is helping accelerate the world’s transition to low-impact mining and transform how companies recover the critical minerals required to power the global shift to clean energy – improving peoples’ lives and enhancing economic prosperity.

Ideon is a dynamic tech scale-up of nearly 80 employees, with team members in Canada, Australia, Chile, and the United States. We are committed to seeking out the best brains and the most exceptional humans, however they happen to be packaged. Learn more about us at ideon.ai.

The Role

We are seeking a Manufacturing Process Engineer to join our Manufacturing team and serve as the bridge between product designs and production execution.

You will help us to smoothly transition engineering designs into manufacturing by focusing on process development, SOPs, and tooling.

You will play a critical role in upholding our high technical standards while directly enabling value to our customers. You are not satisfied with "good enough" — you push for excellence in every process you design, from SOPs to quality controls, because a well-built process is what turns a great design into a reliably manufacturable product.

You are a detailed and hands-on person by nature, have excellent hand-eye coordination, and take pride in a job well done – especially when it involves complex components or intricate assembly.

You will report to the Manufacturing Manager and work in a team setting with manufacturing professionals, hardware engineers, and physicists.

You will impact and drive Ideon’s objectives forward by focusing on the following activities:

• Assemble and manufacture advanced high-tech imaging sensors and other supporting equipment.
• Receive released designs from the Hardware Engineering team and lead the transition from prototype to first article production, including developing SOPs, ensuring quality control readiness, creating training plans, training manufacturing team members, and assembling products.
• Implement new manufacturing methods, processes, and tooling to support the introduction of new products into production.
• Solve day-to-day production challenges by identifying hardware issues and communicating them to the Hardware Engineering team.
• Collaborate with the Operations team members to identify and evaluate alternate parts for critical components, participating in the qualification process.
• Support first article production for newly released products by documenting key findings and leading solutions in collaboration with hardware engineers and manufacturing specialists.
