You will create detailed 3D CAD assemblies, perform design optimization, and support manufacturing with jigs, fixtures, and rapid prototyping.

Ideal candidates have a BSc in mechanical engineering or tech diploma, 2+ years of design experience, strong CAD skills with Creo/SolidWorks, and

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, or Mechanical Technologist diploma, or an equivalent combination of technical training and experience
• 2+ years of mechanical design experience; electronic product housing design experience would be an asset
• Good knowledge of fundamental mechanical design practices and currently available technologies
• Experience with 3D CAD modeling software; PTC Creo and/or SolidWorks experience would be an asset
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and well-developed listening skills
• Excellent interpersonal skills essential to working effectively in a team environment

Responsibilities

• Analyze mechanical design related field failures and manufacturing problems, to determine root cause and implement corrective actions.
• Produce fully detailed design documentation, including 3D CAD assembly and part models, plus 2D CAD drawings, artworks, and renderings, using PTC Creo, SolidWorks software and other CAD tools.
• Develop mechanical form/fit/function details for assemblies and components, including geometry, dimensions and tolerances and clearances, alignment and mating features, fastening and sealing features, material properties and selection, and fabrication processes.
• Perform design optimization, analysis, and simulation of assemblies and parts using ANSYS software and other FEA tools and techniques.
• Identify and oversee Mechanical Design experiments and informal tests, to reduce design risk and verify or optimize mechanical design choices.
• Troubleshoot and resolve design related issues arising during product development, test, and evaluation.
• Participate in Mechanical Design Review and DFMEA processes, and document mechanical design tasks using designated processes and software tools.
• Understand and leverage rapid prototyping technologies during product development.
• Understand and account for Design for Manufacturing (DFM) factors, to ensure or improve the manufacturability of a product.
• Understand the cost and time constraints imposed by the project plan on assigned mechanical design tasks, and complete tasks in an effective and timely manner.
• Assist Manufacturing and Test Engineering to design jigs and fixtures related to a given product.
• Work closely with Project Managers and multi-disciplinary Project Teams, to ensure that both internal and external customer requirements are satisfied.
• Provide input for SR&ED reports.
