Supports and improves the quality management system for aerospace materials testing and calibration operations. Responsibilities include in-house and external equipment calibration, accreditation maintenance, QMS implementation, audits, proficiency testing, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and regulatory assessment support. The role collaborates with customers, accreditation bodies, aerospace primes, operational teams, and quality organizations to improve compliance, accuracy, laboratory processes, and quality assurance.

Leads complex engineering testing initiatives, technology development programs, and cross-disciplinary projects across Element laboratories and enterprise teams. Provides technical leadership, prioritizes testing opportunities, communicates complex concepts to varied audiences, disseminates testing knowledge, performs autonomous testing, and guides technicians and engineers. The role requires deep expertise in an engineering discipline, specialist knowledge, technology leadership, and at least 10 years of relevant post-degree experience.

Leads custom and standardized microbiological testing, antimicrobial efficacy programs, medical device cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization validations. Performs sterility, bioburden, endotoxin, microbial limits, environmental monitoring, and method validation activities in cGLP and ISO 17025 environments. Reviews data and reports, supports R&D and regulatory compliance, troubleshoots technical issues, collaborates with clients, and mentors laboratory staff.

Leads hands-on bioseparation and analytical method development, optimization, troubleshooting, qualification, validation, transfer, comparability, stability, and characterization for complex biologics. Supports regulatory submissions and GMP-compliant analytical strategies across proteins, antibodies, ADCs, peptides, nucleic acids, viral vectors, and other advanced modalities. Provides scientific leadership, mentors junior scientists, drives innovation in mass spectrometry and automated analytical workflows, and collaborates across scientific, regulatory, and operational teams in an onsite laboratory environment.

Manage end-to-end payroll processing across multiple European countries using Deel. Validate payroll inputs and outputs, process payments, perform reconciliations, support compliance and audits, maintain employee records, resolve payroll queries, prepare reporting, and improve payroll systems and controls while partnering with HR, Finance, Legal, IT, and external providers.

Leads full lifecycle aerospace and spaceflight hardware programs involving precision cleaning, contamination control, quality compliance, and customer delivery. Manages schedules, scope, budgets, risks, technical requirements, audits, documentation, and cross-functional coordination across engineering, production, quality, laboratory, and logistics teams. Serves as the primary customer contact and supports quoting, contract changes, process validation, nonconformance resolution, and continuous improvement.

Drives B2B sales growth across Western Canada by generating leads, onboarding new clients, re-engaging dormant accounts, managing strategic relationships, negotiating deals, and closing agreements. The role requires collaboration with project management and laboratory operations teams, analysis of market intelligence, and regular client calls and site visits. Travel, including approximately 15% overnight travel, is required.

Supports laboratory operations by conducting routine and non-routine metallurgical and mechanical testing, applying approved standards and procedures, analyzing data, preparing technical reports, and assisting with evaluations and process improvements. Works under engineer and metallurgist guidance, manages testing priorities, communicates technical findings, and maintains data integrity. The role requires practical application of engineering principles, collaboration with laboratory teams, and the ability to perform physical tasks including lifting up to 50 pounds.

Supports microbiology, viral, and chemistry laboratory teams by preparing media and reagents, sterilizing glassware and equipment, logging samples, cleaning workspaces, removing waste, ordering supplies, and maintaining efficient operations in an ISO/GLP-compliant environment.
