Job Responsibilities:

• Create and design for manufacturability sheet metal, welding, and complex assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Work with other engineering disciplines (i.e. process, applications, and electrical) to create designs that integrate power, electromechanical, and mechanical systems and that factor in environmental conditions for end users.
• Research and analyze customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, and other data to evaluate the feasibility, cost, and maintenance requirements of designs and applications.
• Provide testing, load ratings, and detailed structural analysis using finite element (FEA).
• Provide external technical support to new and existing customers through field visits, customer meetings, and design reviews.
• Provide internal technical support to the shop floor including interpretation of internal and customer drawings and specifications.
• Manage multiple projects with short-term and competing deadlines at any given time.
• Estimating, including material selection and Bill of Material (BOM) creation.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• College Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology or University degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5+ years of Mechanical Engineering and design experience in a fabrication and assembly work environment. Must be able to demonstrate attention to detail and provide accuracy in structural analysis, fluid flow calculations, and engineering report preparation.
• Demonstrated experience with SolidWorks CAD software is mandatory. Advance knowledge of sheet metal modeling, welded assemblies, welding symbols, pipe and conduit routing. Knowledge of SolidWorks FEA module is a plus.
• Experience working with Electromechanical systems requiring deep knowledge of how components interact, wiring schematics, and control strategies.
• Knowledge of hydraulics and cooling systems, standard fittings, component fastening, and hardware.
• Must have a valid driver's license and the ability to travel primarily in North America but potentially abroad
• P.Eng Designation an asset.
