R&D engineer

Independently lead the development and validation of a new technology that uses acoustic and optical systems to detect defects in a thermal spray process. Design an experimental approach to characterize the accuracy and sensitivity of the technology.

• Design, plan, and conduct experiments to validate a proof of concept
• Develop signal processing methods and tools
• Use acoustic and optical measurement tools
• Evaluate and demonstrate the system’s sensitivity, robustness, and repeatability
• Document and present results

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering physics, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering (a master’s degree is an asset)
• 2 to 5 years of relevant experience in engineering, research and development, and scientific instrumentation
• Experience in digital signal processing is an asset
• Hands-on experience designing and conducting experiments is an asset
• Experience with data acquisition (DAQ) systems, sensors, and instrumentation is an asset
