Description:
Detector Engineer
Location: Victoria, BC
Salary: CAD upto 130,000
Our Verification and Validation (V&V) team includes Detector Product
Engineers who support our delivery of world-leading photon-counting
detector technology to major system OEMs for photon-counting computed
tomography (PCCT). In this position you will have a hands-on role in
ensuring we fully understand our detector performance.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Production Validation and Application Engineering:
- Support test planning and execute test plans to establish
correlations between in-system CT imaging performance and
detector specifications, optimizing x-ray test protocols for
accuracy.
- Product Verification:
- Execute robust product verification plans, including data
acquisition, processing, and reporting activities, including
best practices like compliance matrices referred to product
requirements documentation.
- Support the specification of hardware and software requirements
for verification and validation activities, ensuring
comprehensive testing coverage.
- Participate in design reviews with external teams/customers,
providing input on verification and testability across all
design maturity stages.
- Problem Solving:
- Support root cause determination efforts for test failures where
appropriate, or when coming from customer failure reports,
collaborating with the reliability team where a product failure
occurred after shipment.
- Leverage structured problem-solving techniques.
- Utilize advanced data analysis capability to support failure
mode analysis and product reliability programs.
- Others:
- Ensure quality in all work produced; use appropriate best
practices to ensure this is achieved.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design,
manufacturing, and QA, to ensure integration
of verification and validation processes throughout the product
development process.

teams and customers, and traceability of verification.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to apply statistical tools, such as JMP, to solve practical
problems.
- Experience with writing code to carry out data analysis
using MATLAB, Python, or similar software.
- Strong oral and written communication, interpersonal, and
presentation skills.
- Exceptional attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently with limited supervision.
Experience Preferred:
- Experience verifying complex hardware, software,
or firmware environments; experience with detection or
instrumentation products.
- Experience in mixed-signal electronic device testing and/or design,
especially if it includes mixed-signal ASIC experience.
- Hands-on experience in testing x-ray detectors, or
semiconductor devices.
- Working knowledge of product development and validation in ISO9001
and/or ISO13485 environments.
Education:
- Bachelor's degree in systems or electrical engineering, engineering
physics, physics, biophysics, or equivalent is preferred.
