Hardware Engineer

Job Responsibility:

OSCP is a fabless, Canadian company whose technology portfolio focuses on photonic integrated sensors. The technology involves developing simple, compact, low cost, low power consuming, and high-performance sensors for applications in navigation systems such as Inertial Measurement Units (gyroscopes and accelerometers).

The candidate will contribute to elaborate complex instrument setup that involves optoelectronics measurement, signal processing with lock-in and FPGA programing. He/she will mandate to troubleshoot setup to increase signal to noise ratio. One should be able to Measure noise via Allan Variance method and propose a new scheme for device configuration to improve sensor precision. Elaborate measurement strategy to fully characterize inertial devices (acceleration, vibration stability, thermal stability, stress stability, etc). Participate in fixing specifications for new products.

Ideally, you have knowledge in quality control and statistical process control. This is a start-up environment, so you need a pro-active attitude, need to be creative and self-motivated. You need to be hands-on (be able to make your own setup) and be ready for multi-functional tasks. We are looking for someone who likes to work in team to achieve common goals. This is high technology field, so you need to be comfortable with the unknown. In the same time, you need to have good skills in process solving, as well as knowing how to use other teammate competences in order to make progress in the project.

Key Qualifications
