Lead Electronics Engineer

Full job description

Are you ready to revolutionize the industrial world ?

7D Kinematic Metrology inc, based in Cambridge, Ontario, owns and develops the revolutionary iGPS technology, a measurement system that enable dynamics tracking. The iGPS is a modular, large-scale, high-accuracy dynamic tracking system that transforms large facilities into an accurate tracking-enabled workspace. Within the facility, the movement of an unlimited number of devices like large assembly parts, tools, and AGVs equipped with iGPS sensors can be tracked concurrently. This technology enables advanced manufacturing and assembly of large-scale products such as aircraft or aerospace components. The iGPS technology is also used during the development process of automotive active safety and autonomous driving systems.
