    • Develop and implement technical processes for camera assembly, repair, and testing to ensure consistent standards and documentation.
    • Establish and manage preventive maintenance schedules for each camera system based on operational history and usage metrics.
    • Provide day-to-day oversight of mechanical projects, including CAD reviews, prototype builds, and component modifications.
    • Perform precision assembly, alignment, and calibration of camera subsystems with extremely tight mechanical tolerances.
    • Mentor and guide others in machining and fabrication tasks, including lathing, milling, drilling, and grinding for fine components.
    • Collaborate with Engineering and Optical Design Teams to validate designs, improve manufacturability, and reduce rework.
    • Maintain detailed documentation and traceability for service activities, mechanical upgrades, and component lifecycle tracking.
    • Conduct system-level testing and troubleshooting to verify mechanical and optical performance.
    • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior technicians, promoting craftsmanship, safety, and continuous improvement.
    • Support field deployments and emergency service needs, including occasional on-site travel.
      Technical Responsibilities Ultra-high precision tolerances: Maintaining sub-thousandth-inch accuracy critical to film steadiness and system reliability.
    • Opto-mechanical alignment sensitivity: Aligning mechanical and optical components to exacting standards for image quality and synchronization.
    • Legacy and custom-built systems: Servicing rare or discontinued IMAX camera systems requiring reverse engineering and creative problem-solving.
    • Cross-disciplinary integration: Ensuring proper interfacing between mechanical, optical, and electronic subsystems.
    • Machining and fabrication: Producing or modifying precision parts in-house to demanding accuracy and finish requirements.

    Project Management Responsibilities Predictive maintenance development:
    Building data-driven service intervals for mechanical reliability.
    • Service tracking and documentation: Maintaining comprehensive records for performance, traceability and auditability.
    • Field service unpredictability: Handling urgent service or calibration in remote or constrained conditions.
    • Time-critical precision work: Delivering flawless assembly and adjustment under production deadlines.
    • Supply chain challenges: Sourcing or fabricating discontinued or specialized components as needed.
    • Selects and executes appropriate service or repair methods for camera systems.
    • Determines machining tools, materials, and fabrication processes for precision parts.
    • Makes judgment calls during assembly and calibration to ensure alignment accuracy.
    • Prioritizes daily maintenance and project workflow to meet production timelines.
    • Implements minor mechanical adjustments or fit-ups not affecting system interfaces.
    • Leads initial troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of opto-mechanical issues.
    • Manages fixture design, tooling, and testing setups to support service operations.
    • Upholds safety, cleanliness, and quality standards in all shop and lab work.
      Functional Responsibilities Approving design changes or re-engineering affecting system functionality or tolerances.
    • Selecting new materials or manufacturing methods with potential performance impacts.
    • Defining or authorizing major upgrades, rebuilds, or system retrofits.
    • Approving capital equipment purchases or external vendor engagements.
    • Scheduling or authorizing field services or emergency deployments affecting production timelines.
    • Establishing long-term maintenance intervals and reliability metrics.
    • Modifying safety procedures or workshop policies requiring management sign-off.
    • Approving resource allocations or staffing changes beyond daily workshop scope.

    What we're looking for:

     Extensive experience with mechanical film systems or precision electromechanical assemblies.
    • Expertise in mechanical service, assembly, and alignment of high-tolerance mechanisms.
    • Strong hands-on skills in machining and fabrication (lathe, mill, drill press, grinding, fine fitting).
    • Proficiency in interpreting CAD models, mechanical drawings, and engineering documentation.
    • Demonstrated technical leadership and process improvement capabilities.
    • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills with high attention to detail.
    • Must be able to work on-site, remote work not applicable.
    • Willingness to travel occasionally (<10%) for field support.
    • Experience with thermal design considerations (heat transfer, airflow) is a strong asset.
