Engineer

We hire engineers who can carry a product across the line from R&D to production. This posting covers four areas that share one mission, getting our IMUs into the real world, and one core: hands‑on work, real ownership, and products that ship. If any, or all, of these areas fit you, we want to hear from you. You do not need to check every box in one area, and our best engineers bridge two or three.
Where we need help
Embedded and firmware.
Own firmware for our IMU product line: drivers, communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART), board bring‑up, and the hooks that make production test and calibration fast.
Software development.
Build software that lives next to real hardware: low‑level device interfaces, sensor‑fusion and navigation pipelines, and the applications customers use to configure, test, and integrate our products.
Electronics and PCB.
Take boards from schematic to production: layout, bring‑up, debugging, DFM, and the test fixtures that let us build in volume without losing quality.
Photonics and optics.
Develop photonic sensors, optical assembly, alignment, and characterization, and the repeatable processes that take a design from lab bench to production.
Responsibilities
Own a slice of the product end to end: a subsystem, a codebase, or a process.
Take designs from prototype to production as we scale.
Test, measure, and iterate on real hardware in the lab.
Support customer integrations: your work ends up on drones, robots, vehicles, and vessels.
Work shoulder to shoulder with a small team of hardware, firmware, and test engineers.
Document so the team can scale: designs, drivers, and procedures.
Required Qualifications
You ship: you have built things that left the bench, products, systems, or code that someone else depends on.
Degree or technical diploma in engineering, physics, or a related field, or the portfolio that makes it irrelevant.
Strong C/C++ and/or Python, weighted by area.
2+ years of hands‑on experience shipping real products;
senior candidates especially welcome in photonics and optics.
Comfortable owning open‑ended problems in a small team.
Preferred Qualifications
Navigation, inertial sensing, robotics, or aerospace background.
OSCP is an equal opportunity employer.
One Silicon Chip Photonics (OSCP — legal entity OSCPS Motion Sensing Inc.) develops next‑generation photonic inertial measurement units (IMUs) and navigation systems for GNSS‑denied environments. Our on‑chip integrated‑photonics gyroscopes and MEMS sensors deliver precision, size, and stability advantages that let autonomous, defense, aerospace, and heavy‑industry platforms navigate reliably without GNSS. We are Montréal‑based, venture‑backed, and ITAR‑free (Canadian jurisdiction) — a deliberate strategic advantage for our customers.
Work with cutting‑edge Canadian photonic navigation technology.
What we value
Self‑motivation
and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Adaptability
in a fast‑paced, resource‑constrained startup environment.
Strong ownership
— you ship, document, and support what you build.
A collaborative mindset
paired with the confidence to advocate for the right technical path.
Curiosity, initiative, and a bias toward action.
