– Engineering Technologist September 2026 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. 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.

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. 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.

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.

Prototype Building : Build, wire, and assemble prototypes, test fixtures, and measurement setups from engineering designs (schematics, CAD, BOMs). Fabricate and iterate on jigs and fixtures using shop tools, soldering, and basic machining or 3D printing. Keep prototypes documented and version‑controlled so builds are reproducible and handoffs are clean.

Engineering Testing & Data Collection: Execute test protocols and measurement procedures across all development phases, collecting accurate, well‑organized data against defined pass/fail criteria. Set up and operate test equipment, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems. Support test plan development by giving feedback on what’s practical to measure at the bench.

Contribute to gate reviews by ensuring test data and documentation are complete and accurate so the business can make informed go/no‑go decisions. Evaluate, adopt, and integrate current capabilities as they emerge (including AI tools and outsourcing options). Contribute to process improvements.

Practice version‑controlled collaboration (git workflows, pull requests, releases). A diploma or certificate in an engineering technology, applied science, or technical trade program (e.g., electronics, mechanical, instrumentation)



— or an equivalent combination of technical training and hands‑on experience. A bachelor's degree is welcome but not required.

Hands‑on aptitude with building, wiring, and assembling PCBs, prototypes, and test setups — or a clear track record of picking up practical skills quickly Comfort operating common bench tools and instrumentation (e.g., multimeter, oscilloscope, soldering, hand tools, calipers) A careful, methodical approach to measurement and data collection — the instinct to notice when a result looks off and to document work so others can reproduce it Basic technical grounding in at least one discipline (electrical, mechanical, optical, or software) and curiosity to learn across the others This role requires international travel to the US, up to 2 trips per year Assets (Nice to Have) Familiarity with data acquisition tools or basic scripting (e.g., Python) for collecting and organizing test data Exposure to structured testing, QC processes, or requirements traceability an electronics tech with mechanical or optics exposure) Experience with AI‑assisted engineering tools and workflows CAD, 3D printing, or basic machining experience Professional Technologist) or C.Certified Engineering Technologist), or eligible and actively working toward registration Opportunity to join an innovative and energetic team of professionals who are passionate about green energy and sustainability Competitive compensation package, including medical and dental benefits, Health and Lifestyle Spendings Account and Paid Time Off. G2V observes all holidays and “optional” holidays (i.e.: Family Day, August Long Weekend, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation). Flexible working hours when possible, including time off for medical and dental appointments Planned social and wellness team building events Our hiring decisions are made without discrimination on the basis of mental disability, physical disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religious beliefs, age, marital status, family status, or source of income.
