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,physical AI, 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, andmonitormineral 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 mineralsrequiredto 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.

We are seeking several temporary Manufacturing Technicians to join our Manufacturing team to perform precise assembly in order to deliver our patented high-tech sensors.

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, but rather strive for excellence with the systems you build. Quality is a top focus for you.

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.

Reporting to the Manufacturing Manager and working in a team setting with manufacturing professionals, you will impact and drive Ideon’s objectives forward by focusing on the following activities:

• Carrying out precise hand assembly work with great attention to detail and within required timelines.
• Assembling and occasionally troubleshooting sensor components using various measurement and testing equipment.
• Conducting quality checks and in-process inspections on parts and assemblies.
• Following standard operating procedures (SOPs) and becoming familiar with procedures and part numbers.

Success in the role looks like:

• Assembling with high quality and meeting high standards to pass QC checks (90%+ pass).
• Always compliant with electro-static discharge (ESD) controls to prevent electronics damage.
• Developing a deep understanding of the quality-focused operations.
• Meeting run rate needs to keep the manufacturing process line balanced and efficient.
• Compliant with health and safety standards.

Must-haves – You’ll need the following to move forward in the hiring process (and be successful in the role).

• Technical training and/or diploma in a field such as manufacturing, robotics, engineering, mechatronics, electronics, physics, or similar.
• 2+ years experience in assembly and manufacturing of complex systems.
• Experience doing careful assembly involving small and often delicate components.
• Reliable, motivated, and capable of working to a defined schedule.
• Experience using and properly caring for a variety of hand tools, measurement devices, and operating equipment (i.e. multimeters, calipers).
• Able to read and interpret technical documents such as dimensional drawings, measurement data, work instructions,…
