Job description

Mechanical Engineer (P.Eng. orEIT) – AI & Advanced Simulation

About Us

The CTD Group, founded in 1947, has grown into one of North America’s most respected manufacturers of hubs, spindles, wheels, hitches, and welded hydraulic cylinders. We proudly serve world-class OEMs in the agricultural, construction, mining, and oil & gas industries globally.

Our adherence to strict quality standards has earned us a reputation for excellence, dependability, and innovation. Over the last two years, CTD has transformed its production facilities into lean manufacturing cells, acquired state-of-the-art equipment, and revamped business processes to align with lean manufacturing philosophies.

We are seeking a certifiedMechanical Engineer (P.Eng.) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) – AI & Advanced Simulationto join our team and help us continue delivering top-tier solutions to our customers.

Position Overview

We are seeking a forward-thinking, technically skilled Mechanical Engineer (P.Eng.) or
Engineer-in-Training (EIT) – AI & Advanced Simulation who bridges the gap between physical machine design and digital intelligence. In this role, you will execute traditional mechanical engineering workflows while deploying modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to optimize designs, automate complex simulations, and implement smart, data-driven systems.

Whether you are fully licensed (P.Eng.) or a registered EIT working toward your designation, you will
play a critical role in advancing our engineering capabilities using physics-informed AI, predictive
analytics, and design automation.

Key Responsibilities

Core Mechanical Design:

• Research, design, and analyze mechanical components, thermal systems, and electromechanical assemblies. Conduct FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations.

AI & ML Integration:

• Develop, train, and deploy AI/ML models (such as neural networks or regression algorithms) to optimize mechanical performance, predict component failures, or automate heavy simulation pipelines.
• Clean and evaluate structural, vibration, or thermal datasets fromphysical testing and operational environments to build predictive maintenance algorithms and“digital twins”.

Automation & Scripting:

• Write clean, reproducible code to build internal engineering tools, automate parametric CAD modeling, and link hardware sensors to data processing models.

Project Management & Compliance:

• Prepare engineering specifications, technical drawings, and progress updates. Ensure all designs strictly adhere to relevant Canadian/provincial building codes and safety regulations.

Documentation & Communication:

• Review, stamp, and take professional responsibility for engineering documents. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior staff and technicians.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Education & Professional Status:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline from an accredited university.
• Registered (or explicitly eligible for immediate registration) as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) with a provincial engineering regulator (e.g., EGBC, APEGA, PEO).

Mechanical Engineering Skills:

• Solid foundation in core mechanical engineering concepts (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, stress analysis).
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Revit, or AutoCAD).
• Hands-on experience using industry simulation packages (e.g., ANSYS, MATLAB/Simulink).

AI & Computational Skills:

• Proficiency in Python and standard data science libraries (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn).
• Working knowledge of machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) or experience leveraging Large Language Model (LLM) APIs for workflow automation.
• Experience applying AI to physical systems—such as generative design, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), or processing time-series data from IoT sensors.

Soft Skills:

• Strong technical communication skills to explain complex data science and AI concepts to traditional engineering stakeholders and clients.
• Analytical mindset with a passion for process automation and continuous optimization.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision).
• Dedicated computational infrastructure and training budgets to advance your AI and engineering skill sets.
• Clear paths for career progression and mentorship structure required for EITs to earn their P.Eng. designation.

Join the CTD Group and contribute to a company renowned for its precision, innovation, and commitment to quality.
