Level II Technologist

About G2V Optics

G2V Optics is a global leader in advanced lighting technologies. Founded in 2015 based on technology invented at the U of A, the company now provides solutions to world-leading organizations (e.g. NASA, Meta, Tesla, NREL). They use our light to power the most critical developments in solar renewable energy, advanced materials, and space exploration.

We are an agile team that functions on a startup-style culture based on quick learning, honesty and personal development, flexibility, and balance. If you want to be part of a team that’s making a global impact from right here in Edmonton, join us.

Stewardship of G2V Core Values

Every member of the G2V team is expected to embody these core values — not as aspirational guidelines, but as the lived standard of how we work, communicate, and make decisions every day.

Do the Right Thing — This is who we are when no one is watching. We do right by people and the planet — making hard calls, telling uncomfortable truths, owning our mistakes, and holding each other accountable.

Sharpen the Team — This is the environment we build. We add energy instead of draining it, assume good intent, and make it safe to be honest, take risks, and admit mistakes — because the team matters more than our egos.

Make it Happen — This is our engine. We don’t wait to be told what matters, we keep going when others might stop, and we take ownership of outcomes — valuing impact more than effort.

Close the Loop — This is where it all comes together. We seek feedback from each other and our customers, learn equally from our successes and failures, and make sure we don’t solve the same problem twice.

Summary

This role within the Infrastructure Engineering functional area focuses on internal tooling, documentation, and measurement capability that makes other teams more productive. This role helps build prototypes and tests for the qualification of electrical, mechanical, optical, and software systems. This technologist translates requirements into verifiable tests, aiding the development and qualification of G2V products. This role also helps build and maintain the testing infrastructure — test jigs, fixtures, measurement setups, and QC processes — that validates engineering work.

This role performs or coordinates hands‑on technical work including prototypes, proofs of concept, and test execution. This role bolsters G2V’s product testing, ensures a rigorous and smooth engineering handoff between functional units, and is essential for validating quality workmanship for G2V’s products.

Throughout all of this work, the role depends on clear, honest communication with teammates, stakeholders, customers, and vendors to create value and build trust.

The Infrastructure Engineering functional area focuses on internal tooling, documentation, and measurement capability that makes other teams more productive. This includes detectors, calibration systems, Quality Control (QC) jigs, metrology, and the physics foundations that underpin G2V’s product quality. Infrastructure Engineering encompasses a wide variety of engineering disciplines at G2V including electronics, firmware, mechanical, software, optics, and physics.

Primary Responsibilities

Communication & Handoffs:
Work closely with internal teams — and occasionally outside vendors — to keep testing and prototype work moving. Prepare clear handoff packages (test data, documentation, design files, status) so the next person can pick up the work without confusion. Communicate progress, blockers, and results honestly and early. Support vendor coordination by preparing accurate specifications and tracking deliverables against schedule. Bring the same…
