Electronics Engineering Co-op
8 or 12 monthsHELIX Sensors is hiring an Electronics Engineering Co-op to help design the next generation of flexible sensing and non-destructive testing systems for industrial infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to own real hardware, from circuit design and PCB layout through testing, packaging and field deployment. We are ideally looking for a 12-month co-op, although an 8-month term is also available.
What you'll work on
- Design and test analog sensing and signal-conditioning circuits
- Develop schematics and PCB layouts using KiCad or Altium
- Design multi-stage op-amp circuits for amplification, filtering and signal acquisition
- Apply good PCB layout practices for higher-frequency signals, grounding, shielding and noise control
- Select components, assemble prototypes and troubleshoot hardware
- Design enclosures, mounts and electronics packaging using mechanical CAD
- Work closely with our software, mechanical and sensor-development teams
- Support the transition from early prototypes to field-ready systems
What we're looking for
- Experience with KiCad, Altium or similar PCB design software
- A strong understanding of analog circuit design, including op-amps, filters and signal conditioning
- Familiarity with PCB layout for noise-sensitive and higher-frequency signals
- Experience with oscilloscopes, function generators, multimeters and other electronics test equipment
- Experience with mechanical CAD for enclosures or electronics packaging
- An ability to independently build, test and troubleshoot physical systems
- Strong documentation and communication skills
Nice to have
- Experience with COMSOL, ANSYS or other multiphysics simulation software
- Experience designing sensors, instrumentation or data-acquisition systems
- Experience with impedance measurements, eddy current systems, capacitance sensing or other electromagnetic sensing methods
- Previous experience taking a PCB from schematic through fabrication and bring-up
HELIX Sensors is a growing Canadian technology company developing SensorWraps that allow industrial operators to monitor corrosion, erosion, cracking, vibration, strain and other indicators of asset health. You will work directly with the founding team, take ownership of meaningful engineering work and see your designs tested on real industrial assets.
