Why Redlen Technologies?
Redlen Technologies is a pioneering company that has revolutionized the semiconductor crystal growth and fabrication process.
At Redlen Technologies, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Our founder's visionary work with the Canadian Space Agency laid the foundation for our groundbreaking Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) sensors, revolutionizing medical imaging, security imaging, and non-destructive testing. We are driving a quantum leap forward in medical CT scanners, elevating diagnostic accuracy while reducing radiation dose– a technological feat that has earned us global recognition. With a commitment to excellence, we have earned the trust of Fortune 500 industry customers, leading to our acquisition by Canon Inc. for $430M– a testament to our industry leadership.
With over 200 dedicated professionals, we take pride in fostering a work environment where Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) professionals thrive. As an equal opportunity employer we demonstrate that diversity drives innovation, and we are passionate about building a future where every employee contributes to our mission-driven success. Redlen's teams, mirroring the multifaceted diversity of Canadian society, exemplify our commitment to leveraging a wide range of ideas and backgrounds as a driving force for innovation, business excellence, and pioneering advancements in STEM.
The R&D Department ensures Redlen's technology and fabrication process supports design and manufacturing of the company's detector module products, verifies these products meeting their design specifications, and validates they are suitable for use in key customer applications.
Within R&D, the Detector Physics Team is responsible for characterizing the key physical processes that affect performance, manufacturability and reliability, and involves measurements, modeling and failure analysis. Their work spans emerging technologies, including CZT crystal growth, wafers, sensor contacts, sensor assembly and photon counting readout electronics
We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Instrumentation Engineer to design, develop, and maintain sophisticated experimental setups for characterizing material property, detector performance and validating new technologies.
Key responsibilities:
Design and build low-noise, small-signal instrumentation systems for advanced laboratory measurements. This includes both:
Electrical systems (e.g., custom PCB design, signal routing, and debugging)
Mechanical systems (e.g., precision alignment stages, motion control setups)
Debug and validate electronic circuitry using meters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
Develop software tools (using Python, MATLAB, etc.) for data acquisition, instrument control, and automated analysis.
Work safely with high-voltage power supplies and ESD-sensitive electronics using proper procedures.
Assemble, test, and iterate on mechanical systems using off-the-shelf components and custom-designed parts (e.g., 3D printing, machining). Where appropriate, design custom mechanical components for prototyping using 3D printing, machining, etc.
Run and interpret initial experiments in close collaboration with Detector Scientists.
Perform measurement systems analysis studies to quantify and ensure measurement system repeatability and reproducibility, e.g., Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility.
Transition validated systems to operations, including training technologists and documenting procedures.
Skills Required:
Background in electronic circuit design, debugging and test
Manual dexterity to work with delicate and miniature components.
Software development skills for data acquisition and instrument control.
Experience with mechanical system construction and debugging
Experience with programming with Python, MATLAB or similar software
Other Requirements:
A hands-on orientation, experience as a maker on your own projects is an asset
Attention to detail is essential
Demonstrated positive attitude and self-motivation
Ability to work in a dynamic environment as a member of a multi-disciplinary team
Comfortable with challenging development projects with competing priorities
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Outstanding interpersonal and collaborative team skills
Experience in a research and development environment is an asset
Education:
Bachelor’s degree or above in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics or a related discipline.
Salary Range: $74,000 - $93,000 CAD
