Lab Technician Advanced Electronics & Prototyping

Role Overview

Are you highly resourceful, hands-on, and love bringing complex engineering concepts to

life? We are looking for a versatile Lab Technician to play a crucial role in our research and

development laboratory.

In this position, you won't just be sitting at a desk-you will be building, testing, and

troubleshooting next-generation hardware. You will support our engineering team by

maintaining a cutting-edge prototyping lab, operating 3D printers, laminating custom

composite parts, and safely handling high-power electrical setups. If you are naturally handy,

detail-oriented, and love a job where no two days are the same, we want to hear from you.

Core Responsibilities

High-Power Electronics Support: Assist engineers in assembling, wiring, and

safely testing high-power electronic circuits and pulsed-power components.

Composite & Epoxy Fabrication: Hand-fabricate, coat, and cure specialized parts

using composite materials and epoxy resins, ensuring structural and insulating

integrity.

3D Printing Operations: Manage our suite of 3D printers (FDM/SLA). This includes

preparing CAD files, optimizing print settings, managing filament/resin stocks, and

performing post-processing.

Lab & General Bench Work: Act as the go-to person in the lab. Modify mechanical

components, build test fixtures, solder wiring harnesses, and keep the workshop

organized and operating efficiently.

Safety & Maintenance: Ensure the lab complies with strict electrical and chemical

safety protocols. Perform routine maintenance on machinery and tools.

What We Are Looking For:

The "Handy" Factor: A strong, proven track record of mechanical aptitude. You are

comfortable using basic hand tools, power tools, workshop machinery, and precision

measuring equipment.

Electronics Background: Basic understanding of electrical safety and components.

Experience with soldering, wire crimping, and reading basic schematics is highly

valued.

Materials Experience: Hands-on experience working with epoxies, resins, casting,

or carbon fibre/fiberglass composites.

Digital Fabrication: Proficiency in operating and maintaining desktop 3D printers.

Basic familiarity with slicing software (e.g., Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer); basic CAD

tweaking skills are a big plus.

Mindset: A safety-first attitude, exceptional organizational skills, and a proactive

approach to solving physical, electrical and mechanical problems on the fly.

What We Offer

Hands-On Innovation: Work directly with cutting-edge high-power tech and

advanced materials.

Dynamic Environment: A highly collaborative team that values practical problem-

solving over rigid bureaucracy.

Skill Growth: Opportunities to expand your expertise in advanced manufacturing,

multi-physics testing, and aerospace/defence-grade prototyping.

Due to the nature of this project, applicants must be eligible to obtain the required national security clearances.
