Manufacturing Process Engineer

Operations Full Time Richmond, BC $85,000 - $110,000 CAD per year

Founded and based in Richmond, BC, Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The world pioneer in cosmic-ray muon tomography, Ideon has developed the REVEAL™ Subsurface Intelligence Platform™, comprising an advanced suite of proprietary data-generation hardware, software, AI-powered services, and multi-physics fusion that provide x-ray-like visibility deep underground and unlock the exponential power of integrated spatial data.

By transforming muon data into reliable 3D density maps, Ideon helps geologists identify, map, characterize, and monitor mineral deposits with confidence. This reduces risk and cost of traditional methods, while saving time, optimizing return, and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. In turn, this is helping accelerate the world’s transition to low-impact mining and transform how companies recover the critical minerals required to power the global shift to clean energy – improving peoples’ lives and enhancing economic prosperity.

We are a dynamic tech scale-up of 80 employees (and growing!). We are a team that is entrepreneurial by nature and focused on doing things right to deliver great customer outcomes. And we are committed to seeking out the best brains and the most exceptional humans, wherever they come from and however they happen to be packaged.

The Role

We are seeking a Manufacturing Process Engineer to join our Manufacturing team and serve as the bridge between product designs and production execution. You will help us to smoothly transition engineering designs into manufacturing by focusing on process development, SOPs, and tooling.

You will play a critical role in upholding our high technical standards while directly enabling value to our customers. You are not satisfied with "good enough" — you push for excellence in every process you design, from SOPs to quality controls, because a well-built process is what turns a great design into a reliably manufacturable product.

You are a detailed and hands‑on person by nature, have excellent hand-eye coordination, and take pride in a job well done – especially when it involves complex components or intricate assembly.

You will report to the Manufacturing Manager and work in a team setting with manufacturing professionals, physicists, hardware engineers.

You will impact and drive Ideon’s objectives forward by focusing on the following activities:

• Assemble and manufacture advanced high-tech imaging sensors and other supporting equipment.
• Receive released designs from the Hardware Engineering team and lead the transition from prototype to first article production, including developing SOPs, ensuring quality control readiness, creating training plans, training manufacturing team members, and assembling products.
• Implement new manufacturing methods, processes, and tooling to support the introduction of new products into production.
• Solve day-to-day production challenges by identifying hardware issues and communicating them to the Hardware Engineering team.
• Collaborate with Operations team members to identify and evaluate alternate parts for critical components, participating in the qualification process.
• Support first article production for newly released products by documenting key findings and leading solutions in collaboration with hardware engineers and manufacturing specialists.
• Drive successful execution of manufacturing projects using PDCA, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke and other lean manufacturing methods.
• Perform monthly preventive and corrective maintenance of production equipment.
• Own the identification, investigation, and correction of defects in the production…
