Optical Engineering / Physics Co-op

Work Flexibility: Onsite Essential Functions: This co-op will involve a combination of lab work and desk work at a Stryker R&D facility in Burnaby, B.C. and will focus on supporting the evaluation of various technologies that may be utilized in future Stryker vision systems.

Except for occasional work at other lab sites in the GVRD, all work is anticipated to be on-site in Burnaby The successful co-op candidate will be directed and supervised by a senior R&D staff member, but the expectation is that the candidate is self-managed, self-motivated, and has hands-on problem-solving skills Responsibilities: Working under the direction of a supervisor, the responsibilities for this co-op role will include: Assembly and testing of electro-optical systems for illumination, image acquisition, and measurement Design, execution and analysis and documentation of experiments in conformance with the scientific method Technical writing and presentation In addition to handling electro-optical Physical and Mental Requirements: Minimal physical demand, but may require lifting and carrying of technical equipment Role requires ability to work with focus for extended periods commensurate with demands on university students in this field Qualifications: Education: Completed 3rd year undergrad physics or engineering physics (or similar) program.

Completed 4th year undergrad or master's student preferred. Available for an 8-month co-op term Previous co-op experience is advantageous. Skills and Experience: Aptitude for experimental design and execution Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and analytical skills Proficient with personal productivity software such as Microsoft Office tools (i.e., Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.) Excellent written and oral communication Demonstrated skills in any of the following is advantageous: Mechanical design with CAD Software Rapid fabrication techniques (3D printing) Optical system prototyping and testing Image analysis using tools such as Matlab, ImageJ, Python, etc.

Experience with data compilation and analysis Knowledge of optics Canada Pay Ranges: Canada : $44,500 - $59,300 CAD Annual Canada, Burnaby : $48,300 - $64,350 CAD Annual Travel Percentage: 10%
