Your Job
DarkVision, a Koch Engineered Solutions, is looking for a Mechatronics Co-op to join our team for an 8-month term and support the development of the next generation of our high-resolution imaging devices. This exciting opportunity could involve anything from the design of micron precision electronic/sensor assemblies to full scale integration testing of our ultrasound tools.
Projects will involve working with CAD to design complicated assemblies, in-house prototyping in our fully equipped machine shop, and extensive testing to validate the capabilities of your designs. Critical thinking is required at every step along the way to tackle the unique challenges that DarkVision strives to master. The ideal candidate is both practical in applying known solutions to engineering problems, and comfortable thinking outside the box where precedent is lacking.
Our Team DarkVision Technologies Inc. was founded in 2013 by a group of experienced entrepreneurs that have a track record of developing and commercializing imaging technologies for industrial markets. DarkVision has developed the world's most advanced ultrasound-based imaging platform and is packaging it into different product lines to solve industry's most challenging problems.
The company has proven its first successful product-line for tubular infrastructure inspection. DarkVision's initial product has already won multiple industry awards and been featured in top publications. Our team consists of experts from machine vision, medical imaging, aerospace, and computer graphics sectors who are building today's most advanced technology platform for industrial imaging and NDT inspection. We build and design the entire solution ourselves, from large sensor arrays, to specialized electronics, to our visualization, rendering, and analytics software.
Building on its commercial success in the downhole market, the company is now scaling the technology to new product lines in new industries and applications. We have recently moved into our new 52,000 sq ft head office facility in North Vancouver and are growing quickly. Please come join our team for the exciting journey ahead as we become the global leader in industrial imaging.
What You Will Do - Design Stuff: Our in-house developed transducer technology involves intricate features on the micron scale using materials such as ceramic composites and wire-bonds that are assembled under a microscope. Designing at this scale for the unforgiving down-hole environment is extremely challenging and rewarding.
- Machine Stuff: Build prototypes yourself using our in-house machine shop and 3D printers. If you love to iterate quickly and get your hands dirty this is the place for you.
- Test Stuff: Take your designs to their limits using any of our in-house testing equipment or by making your own torture tests.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications) - Enrollment in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Engineering Physics, or another similar program
- Willingness to learn, receive feedback, and apply it constructively
What Will Put You Ahead As this is a co-op position, we understand that you may not have all the skills listed here. A keen mind and a willingness to take on new challenges is a valid substitute for any of the attributes below!
- Experience creating 3D models and assemblies using CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, or Creo
- Basic understanding of material science, and knowing how to apply those theoretical concepts to guide a material selection process for a given application
- Practical understanding of various manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, 3D printing, and laser/waterjet cutting, and knowing which is appropriate for a given design
- Hands-on experience with assembling and testing prototypes, using benchtop tools including multimeters, function generators and oscilloscopes
- Experience with basic microcontroller programming (Arduino, etc.) to aid in rapid prototyping
General Salary Range For this co-op role, we anticipate paying about $4,000 to $5,000 per month.
At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions. Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location. If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy.
