Manufacturing Quality Specialist
Ideon TechnologiesIdeon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The world pioneer in cosmic-ray muon tomography, Ideon has developed the REVEAL™ Subsurface Intelligence Platform®, comprising an advanced suite of proprietary data-generation hardware, software, physical AI, and multi-physics fusion that provide x-ray-like visibility deep underground a

By transforming muon data into reliable 3D density maps, Ideon helps geologists identify, map, characterize, and monitor mineral deposits with confidence. This reduces risk and cost of traditional methods, while saving time, optimizing return, and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. In turn, this is helping accelerate the world’s transition to low-impact mining and transform how companies recover the critical minerals required to power the global shift to clean energy – improving peoples’ lives and enhancing economic prosperity.
We are a dynamic tech scale-up of 80 employees (and growing!). We are a team that is entrepreneurial by nature and focused on doing things right to deliver great customer outcomes. And we are committed to seeking out the best brains and the most exceptional humans, wherever they come from and however they happen to be packaged.
The Role
We are seeking a Manufacturing Quality Specialist who will ensure our patented high-tech sensors meet the highest quality and reliability standards. This role blends quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) work with hands-on assembly support.
You will spend approximately 50-60% of your time directly supporting the manufacturing line and the remainder of your time on QA/QC activities.
You are not satisfied with good enough but rather strive for excellence with the systems you build and inspect. You are a detailed, hands-on person by nature, have excellent hand-eye coordination, and take pride in a job well done — especially when it involves complex components, intricate assembly, or catching a defect before it reaches the next step.
You will report to the Manager, Manufacturing and work in a team setting with Manufacturing professionals and Operations team members.
You will impact and drive Ideon’s objectives forward by focusing on the following activities:
• Carry out precise hand assembly work on the production line with great attention to detail and within required timelines.
• Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and become familiar with part numbers.
• Troubleshoot sensor components using various measurement and testing equipment.
• Design and document the quality check process and results.
• Lead the development and implementation of Ideon’s Quality Management System (QMS) and integrate it into daily operations. Key elements include document and record control, non-conformance/CAPA, supplier quality, calibration, internal audits, and continuous improvement.
• Conduct and coordinate receiving inspection on incoming parts and materials, verifying against drawings, specifications, and purchase order requirements.
• Perform in-process and final quality checks and inspections on parts and assemblies.
• Identify, document, and disposition non-conforming materials (NCRs), and track corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Collaborate with Procurement on supplier quality: flag recurring defects, support supplier corrective actions, and provide input on approved supplier performance.
• Maintain and calibrate measurement and testing equipment (e.g., multimeters, calipers) in line with calibration schedules.
• Support internal quality audits and continuous improvement initiatives.
Success in the role looks like:
• Assemble and inspect with high quality, meeting high standards to pass QC checks (90%+ pass).
• Maintain compliance with electro-static discharge (ESD) controls to prevent electronics damage.
• Conduct receiving inspection and catch non-conforming materials before the
