Perform precision soldering for prototype and low-volume downhole electronics.
Complete mechanical assembly (torque-controlled fasteners, sealing, general hand tools)
Support testing and troubleshooting at a basic level
Contribute to continuous improvement in build quality and workflow
Requirements What We're Looking For (Required)
Minimum 3+ years of hands-on soldering experience (oilfield/downhole strongly preferred)
Ability to read and work from schematics and wiring diagrams
Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision




Strong documentation and record-keeping skills to support traceability and future reference; proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, photos, and notes as required
Familiarity with ESD-safe handling and clean assembly practices
Strong attention to detail and a build quality mindset
Certifications and/or formal training (e.g., IPC-A-610 or IPC/WHMA-A-620)
General mechanical aptitude in assembly:
Torque tools and specifications
General hand tool use
Hands-on experience with drill presses and light shop equipment
What Sets You Apart (Strong Assets)
Ability to understand circuits and components (not just follow drawings)
Strong organization skills (inventory, parts tracking, build kits)
Ability to improve or create build workflows and documentation
Working knowledge of Ohm's Law and basic troubleshooting
Compensation & Work Environment (Calgary Context)
Competitive salary: $70,000 - $85,000, depending on experience and capability
Reliable, year-round work (non-field role)
Small, technically focused team - high ownership, low bureaucracy
Opportunity to grow into advanced builds, testing, or development support
