Electrotechnical Technician

Hi, I'm currently hiring an Electronics Lab Technician for a fast-growing technology company in downtown Montréal that's building disruptive electric motor control technology. If you love having your hands in the hardware, building test setups, soldering fine-pitch work and tracking a fault down to the component, and you want to watch a prototype become a certified, production-ready product, I think this role is for you. It's a small, tight-knit team where your work in the lab has a direct impact on what ships.

Why this role will speak to you

The company is Series A-funded and taking on a century-old industry: electric motor control. The mission is concrete and meaningful: cutting industrial energy consumption at scale, with a product meant to be used by millions. You'll be at the heart of the lab, where prototypes turn into real products. Here, initiative and technical execution genuinely matter, and you'll work right next to your colleagues, where the real "aha" moments happen.

What you'll do day to day

You'll own the test infrastructure that takes the motor control technology from prototype to certified product. In practice, you design and build test setups, run the tests and write the reports, contribute to UL/ETL documentation, and keep the lab organized and efficient. You'll watch your work go from the bench to a finished product used in the real world.

• You design and build test setups, and you execute test plans on power electronics.
• You write clear, structured test reports.
• You solder through-hole and fine-pitch SMT on FR4 and MCPCB.
• You troubleshoot electronics down to the component level, in a power electronics context.
• You read electrical schematics and make 3-phase 600 Vac connections.
• You contribute to documentation and third-party test submissions (UL, ETL or equivalent); authoring operation manuals is a plus.
• You set up and manage an efficient lab component inventory system, and keep the lab clean and organized at all times.

The profile I'm looking for

What you bring

• 5+ years as an electronics technician in a hardware development environment (required).
• Soldering across through-hole and fine-pitch SMT on FR4 and MCPCB (required).
• Electronic troubleshooting down to the component level, with power electronics context (required).
• Test plan execution and structured test report writing (required).
• Exposure to operation manuals for UL, ETL or equivalent third-party test submissions (required; authoring is a plus).
• Reading electrical schematics and making 3-phase 600 Vac connections (required).
• Oscilloscope, DMM and standard lab instrumentation fluency (required).
• Setting up and managing an efficient lab component inventory system, and keeping the lab clean and organized (required).
• Professional English to collaborate internationally (operation manuals and reports are written in English); French is an asset for our Montréal-based operations.
• Assets: Quebec Electrician License "C" (Compagnon électricien), motor control or VFD domain exposure, and LabVIEW or Python for test automation.

What will make you successful in the role

• You're a problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly.
• You're rigorous and methodical, both in your testing and in keeping the lab in order.
• You enjoy precise hands-on work and collaborative innovation, close to the bench.
• You take ownership of your lab as if it were your own, from inventory to reports.

What you get

• Salary: CAD 80,000 to 110,000 per year, based on your experience.
• Benefits: comprehensive coverage including Extended Health Care, Disability Insurance and Life Insurance.
• Time off: 4 weeks of paid vacation from day one.
• Environment and culture: downtown Montréal lab, in an area well served by the metro (Orange line) and public transit. A team that believes hardware is a team sport and spends most of its time on-site, close to the lab and colleagues.
• A transparent 3-step hiring process: a 20-minute introductory call on Google Meet, a 30-minute technical discussion with the Department Head, and a one-hour on-site interview with your future colleagues plus a lab tour.
