Full Job Posting
The Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation is a space and defence company focused on developing dual-use solutions for delivering unmatched capabilities on this planet and others.
CSMC is developing a micro nuclear reactor for remote applications like the Arctic, defence, and space exploration.
Led by a team with a mix of entrepreneurial and institutional experience at the highest level, we are a bleeding-edge company, working at the intersection of energy, geology/geophysics, health technologies, space systems, quantum technologies, and imagineering.
We're not gonna do it alone though, and we're hiring an Engineering Intern .
Our team is developing next-generation quantum technologies and taking them off the optical bench and into the real world—ultimately onto high-altitude flight platforms.
Working directly with engineering leads and cross-functional project teams, the successful candidate will help transform laboratory prototypes into ruggedized field-ready systems capable of operating in harsh environments.
The position will support activities including hardware integration, mechanical and electrical design, environmental testing, software development, field deployment, and continuous improvement of advanced quantum sensing platforms.
Main Responsibilities
- Assist in the design, assembly, and ruggedization of optical, mechanical, and electrical hardware for field and flight applications.
- Support the development of flight-ready hardware, including bonded and low-CTE optical mounts, fiber coupling, staking, potting, and vibration damping solutions.
- Design ruggedized enclosures, fixtures, and transport cases using CAD software, and fabricate components using 3D printing and machining techniques.
- Build, integrate, and troubleshoot electronic systems, including signal conditioning, microcontroller interfacing, connectorization , and wiring.
- Develop Python scripts for hardware control, telemetry, automation, and data logging.
- Support vibration, shock, thermal, and environmental testing, documenting results and implementing design improvements.
- Assist in preparing, transporting, setting up, and debugging hardware during field testing and demonstration activities.
