quality doesn't waver across the 1st unit or the 100th\nKeeps components ahead of production, so a build is never waiting on a part that should have been ordered\nWorks confidently within the Hardware Production Lead's quality protocols - ships without needing a sign-off on every unit, and knows when something genuinely needs escalating\nBrings ingenuity to non-standard problems rather than waiting to be told\nKeeps the lab and the records in a state where anyone could walk in and find what they need\nFlags supply chain or quality issues early, not after they've caused a delay\nTreats the kanban system and inventory tracking as the source of truth, and keeps it accurate\nRequirements\nHands-on hardware experience focused on production. \nProven ability to manage a hardware product through its full build-and-ship lifecycle\nTrack record of following repeatable processes, maintaining the same quality on the 10th and 100th unit. \nStrong testing, quality assurance, and reliability discipline\nStrong documentation habits and attention to detail\nBased in or able to work in person in Vancouver, BC (this is a local, in-person role)\nSalary: $60,000-80,000 CAD\nBenefits\nHealth & dental benefits\nOutdoor prolink membership for discounted outdoor gear\nUnlimited vacation policy","description_format":"text","description_chars":3397,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Catering & Food Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T21:16:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.298,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":88,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:5","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/reusables-hardware-production-technician","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/reusables-hardware-production-technician.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T23:21:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32919,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2639913},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2639913"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-production-technician"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-production-technician"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-production-technician"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/reusables-hardware-production-technician\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-production-technician"}]}
