Job description

We are looking for an Intermediate Mechanical Designer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have engineering experience in a fast-paced, dynamic environment—such as a startup—and hold a degree in a relevant engineering field from a college or university.

This role requires strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, a solid understanding of the full product development lifecycle, and hands-on experience with electromechanical systems. You will be involved from early-stage design through to final product deployment, collaborating with teams across engineering, prototyping, and production.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test prototype parts and assemblies for electromechanical systems
• Collaborate with Industrial Design to translate concepts into manufacturable and functional designs
• Work closely with the manufacturing and supply chain teams to meet quality, cost, and delivery goals
• Inspect and verify incoming mechanical components to ensure compliance with design specifications
• Maintain and update design documentation (CAD, drawings, BOMs) for both new and existing products
• Support early-stage production, including first builds, test planning, and troubleshooting
• Assist in cost estimation and tracking, and monitor project timelines and deliverables
• Contribute to sustaining engineering efforts, including design improvements and issue resolution on deployed products

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Strong 2D and 3D CAD skills required (SolidWorks preferred)
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Comfortable working in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with electrical, industrial, and manufacturing teams
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects, and thrive in a fast-paced, iterative development environment
• Strong attention to detail in both design and documentation
• Experience with prototyping and hands-on mechanical work is an asset
• Familiarity with product development cycles, manufacturing methods, and DFM/DFA principles is a plus

Bonus points for

• Experience in robotics and/or product development in a startup environment
• Familiarity with PLM systems (e.g., Upchain)
• Ability to work with a variety of rapid prototyping processes
• Design experience with injection molding, casting, and sheet metal
• Working knowledge of tools like Jira, Atlassian suite, and Lucidchart
