Production Technicians in Precision Mechanical and Metrology at Photonic ensure that every mechanical part influencing the relative position between a fiber array and a photonic chip is within specification. This role is part of the Operations Team and supports the deployment of Photonic chips and chip assemblies into our measurement and computer systems. You will qualify low-temperature translation stages, chip mounts, and other precision parts, assemble and align cryogenic sample assemblies, and design the jigs, fixtures, and alignment sequences that make this work fast and repeatable.

You will work closely with the Optical Integration and Test Technician, TPI technicians, our machine shop, cryogenic technicians, and engineering teams. This is a permanent, full-time position, in office at Photonic's Coquitlam, BC facilities.

Employment Type: Full Time WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DOQualify Low-Temperature Translation Stages Inspect incoming stages for parallelism of movement, travel range, and conformance to specification Execute routine testing of attocube stages, including travel extents, encoder performance, and load ratings Perform bake-out procedures for attocube stages (vacuum and heat) Align X and Y translation stages for orthogonality Maintain an inventory of pre-qualified and pre-assembled stages ready for deployment Perform flatness and dimensional measurements on chip mounts and other mechanical parts Perform surface plate, dial test indicator, and CMM-style inspection Gold plate chip mounts and parts in-house,



and coordinate with vendors when plating is outsourced Maintain an inventory of pre-qualified and pre-assembled chip mounts Cryogenic Sample Assemblies Assemble and align cryogenic sample assemblies Perform sample space alignment without a sample installed, so assemblies are ready for chip installation Verify that the tolerance stack-up between stages, mounts, and sample space is within specification before hand-off Fabrication, Jigs, and Fixtures Design jigs and fixtures in CAD to improve productivity, repeatability, and quality Fabricate parts and fixtures using CNC and manual milling, drill press, 3D printing, and handwork Work with our machine shop on parts that require additional capacity or capability Write and maintain alignment sequences, inspection procedures, and qualification records Track qualification status and inventory so qualified hardware is ready when systems need it Three or more years of hands-on experience in precision mechanical assembly, machining, toolmaking, or metrology Diploma in mechanical engineering technology, a machinist or toolmaker certification, or equivalent experience Experience with machine shop tools and common practices, including milling machines, drill presses, and handwork Experience with CAD (SolidWorks or Fusion 360) and CAM for CNC milling Proficiency with surface plates, dial test indicators, height gauges, and other precision measurement tools Experience with surface grinding, polishing, deburring,



and general fabrication Experience using 3D printing to design solutions to practical problems CMM programming or operation Experience with precision positioners, piezo stages, or motion control (e.Understanding of GD&T; and tolerance stack-up analysis Experience working in a cleanroom or under contamination controls Arena and Oracle NetSuite) While artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be used to assist in reviewing applicant profiles, they do not determine candidate outcomes. We are committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We embrace and encourage our employees' differences, knowing that these very differences inspire innovation and build better teams.
