Based in western Canada, Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The Ideon REVEAL Platform is a subsurface intelligence solution that comprises proprietary hardware (that delivers a new-to-the-world data source) ruggedized for the most remote exploration sites and demanding of noisy in-mine environments, software, integrated imaging systems, and advanced data analysis and interpretation. Using sub-atomic particles called muons to image deep beneath the Earth's surface, Ideon creates high-resolution multi-dimensional models that help geologists identify, map, and characterize mineral deposits and other geological features such as caves and voids. Ideon also offers patented multi-sensor fusion capabilities that enable seamless data collection and integration from our proprietary sensors and third-party data. Ideon’s AI-powered workflow transforms the geological model into a high-resolution dynamic Earth model to inform ongoing operations. Our work reduces risk and cost of traditional methods, while saving time, optimizing return, and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. 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.

The Role

We are seeking several temporary Manufacturing Technicians to join our Hardware team to perform precise assembly in order to deliver our patented high-tech sensors.

• Developing a deep understanding of the quality-focused operations.
• Meeting run rate needs to keep the manufacturing process line balanced and efficient.
• Compliant with health and safety standards.

• 2+ years experience in assembly and manufacturing of complex systems
• Experience doing careful assembly involving small and often delicate components
• Reliable, motivated, and capable of working to a defined schedule
• Experience using and properly caring for a variety of hand tools, measurement devices, and operating equipment (i.e. multimeters, calipers)
• Able to read and interpret technical documents such as dimensional drawings, measurement data, work instructions, and standard operating procedures
• Experience championing a health and safety culture; awareness of health and safety requirements (i.e. WHMIS, housekeeping)
• Experience using Microsoft tools
• Well-developed communication skills in English at a fluent or professional level
• Legally able and currently documented to work full time hours in Canada

We also look for the following for all new Ideon team members:

• Able to add something “extra” to our culture beyond the work that you do (maybe you like to wow people with your home-baked goods, display wicked improv skills, or organize and play in post-work sports games)

Nice-to-haves – While it would be nice to if you had some of the below, we’re happy to train, coach and share our experience.
