Halifax-based 4Deep Inwater Imaging, which makes cutting-edge microscopes that can operate in the water, is seeking a product verification/quality control lead.

The company makes advanced microscopes that can examine micro-organisms and other small material in the water in real time. They can check the size, shape, and movement of anything from embryonic invasive species to beads of oil in an oil spill – all without having to waste time taking samples out of the water and sending them to a laboratory.

Having received $500,000 in funding from its Chinese partner Guangzhou Bosma Corp., 4Deep Inwater is now ramping up its sales and working on new applications.

Product Verification/Quality Control Lead

Halifax-based 4Deep has an immediate opening for an organized, motivated, and self-reliant person who can be "task flexible" and readily accommodate customer and company needs.

This is a multifaceted position that emphasizes product verification but also requires work in quality control. The successful candidate must become an expert user of all company products and formulate and execute test plans for current and future hardware/software products. He or she must also ensure design specifications are met in prototype and software betas before the final product is released.

The company is looking for someone with the ability to establish and manage quality control tests.

The successful candidate should have: at least two years of university or college with a preference for a bachelor degree; and at least three years of experience in quality control and product verification for hardware and software. The ability to communicate in both English and Chinese would be an asset as the role will require some travel to Guangzhou Bosma’s offices in Guangzhou, China.
