Engineering Co-op Student Opportunity - Fall 2026
Job Description
At Avalon Holographics, we’re building the world’s most advanced holographic display systems, enabling real-time 3D visualization used in industries such as defense, healthcare, and entertainment, without the use of headsets or glasses!
Developing display technology this advanced requires curiosity, precision experimentation, and the ability to solve complex engineering and measurement challenges. Our students play an important role in supporting this work, contributing directly to hands-on research, testing, and development projects across the organization.
At Avalon, students are a vital part of our team and an important part of our long-term talent pipeline. We’re proud to provide meaningful opportunities that support both your learning and your career growth.
As an Engineering Co-op Student (Experimental Measurements & Display Development), you’ll contribute to hands-on projects involving electrical measurements, device characterization, custom test setup development, and data analysis. You’ll work closely with engineers and researchers in our Edmonton office to support the development and evaluation of next-generation display technologies.
What You’ll Do
Develop and test measurement techniques for semiconductor devices, including electrical probe methods and stability testing for thin-film transistors (TFTs)
Work hands-on in the lab setting up experiments and configuring measurement equipment
Analyze data using Python, including creating scripts for plotting, visualization, and automation
Collaborate with engineers and researchers to better understand device physics and translate concepts into practical testing procedures
Research background theory and measurement methods to support experimental design and troubleshooting
Assist with equipment selection, test planning, and adapting existing experimental setups
Document experimental procedures, technical findings, and data analysis results
Support ongoing development and optimization of advanced display technologies
What We’re Looking For
Currently enrolled in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mathematics, or a related co-op post-secondary degree program
Strong interest in semiconductor devices, experimental measurements, applied physics, or display technology
Experience with or interest in Python for data analysis, visualization, or automation
Comfortable working in a lab environment using probes, measurement instruments, and experimental setups
Naturally curious and motivated to research, explore, and figure things out independently
Comfortable taking ownership of projects and running with ideas from concept through execution
Confident working with direction but without requiring constant step-by-step instruction
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail in both design and troubleshooting
Ability to document technical workflows and communicate findings clearly
Collaborative mindset with a willingness to take initiative
Nice to Have
Familiarity with parametric analyzers or laboratory test equipment (e.g., Keithley, Agilent, or similar)
Familiarity with semiconductor concepts such as diodes, transistors, Hall effect, or device characterization
Prior experience with lab automation, experimental measurements, or hands-on electronics work
Interest in display technology, thin films, semiconductor devices, or device physics
Why Join Avalon?
Get meaningful experience supporting groundbreaking technology that pushes beyond what’s been done before, with mentorship, collaboration, and opportunities to take ownership of your work. Whether you’re interested in semiconductor devices, instrumentation, experimental physics, or advanced display systems, this role offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience contributing to real R&D projects in a collaborative engineering environment.
If you're excited about experimental work, building test systems, analyzing data, and helping develop next-generation display technology, apply today with your resume and transcripts! Please note that your application won’t be considered complete without both documents.
