• Innovation & Prototyping
  • Support development of new applications and processes, from concept to industrialization.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
• Strong organizational skills, analytical mindset, and innovative approach.
• Multilingual skills preferred: English required, with proficiency in French and/or Spanish desired.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% across North America; ability to spend ~1 week/month in Brampton, ON.
