The Design Engineering Mechanical Systems Engineer/Specialist role isresponsible to execute full life cycle design activity on any assigned tasks within a subsystem and take responsibility to overcome design challenges independently. In addition, to be accountable for design fit, form, & functionality, ensuring compliance to requirements across the team. Areas of focus involves expertise on one or more of the following domains:

• Hull Additions: Stowage, Covers, Guards and Access Panels (CGAP), Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems (AFES), Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC), Windshield and Washing Systems, Seats, Workstations, and unique interior mission equipment
• Hull Structures: Doors, Hatches and Grilles, Hull Structures, Vehicle Lifting/Tiedown/Towing/Recovery, Trunnion Lug Systems, complex component structures
• Propulsion: Power Pack, Engine, Transmission, Cooling, Fuel and related systems, conventional and/or electric/hybrid systems
• Survivability: Kinetic threats, CUAS, CBNR, signature management, mine blast modeling and simulations using LS-Dyna, threat/material characterizations and model development, support human survivability system development (i.e. EA seating), associated testing and integration of technologies into the system level mine blast protection solution, standard and specialty testing (i.e. material characterization, mine blast, IED, drop tower, etc.)

• Execute component/assembly level design tasks while keeping supervisor regularly informed on progress and issues encountered. Ensure all designs are peer reviewed by technical lead or assigned mentor.
• Support test planning, execution, and reporting as assigned under supervision of test lead.
• Support quality and Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) related activities as requested.
• Responsible for assigned design engineering tasks within areas of focus.
• Provide engineering design support to Design Services department to support 3D modelling and technical data package (TDP), (i.e. engineering drawing) creations.
• Responsible to ensure assigned designs have full adherence to drawing standards, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, weld requirements, design for manufacturability, machining, surface treatments, material requirements, and overall design quality.
• Provide input data (such as load factors, acceptance criteria, material allowables, constraints, etc.) to support Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations on assigned systems (including: structural analysis, off-road mobility analysis, fatigue/durability analysis, shock and vibration, peer reviews, test data analysis, etc.). In addition, may be required to perform low to medium complexity FEAs.
• As requested, provide guidance and resolution to mechanical/technical/design issues related to the team including corrective actions required for improvement/resolution.

• University Degree or College Diploma in a related field
• Minimum 1 year relevant experience
• Basic computer skills in MS Office, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint
• Previous experience in mechanical designs and principles of Engineering trade-offs
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, communication, organization and prioritization skills
• Ability to work well in a team environment
• Ability to travel (5% Cdn) and (5% US & International) and possess/be able to acquire and maintain a valid passport
• Must be able to meet Anthropometrical Size Restrictions for confined space

• Experience acquired through a post-secondary internship or co‑op program in a related field, especially applied knowledge of welding technologies, materials properties and selection as applicable to large metallic structures
• Proficiency in NX CAD environment
• Proficiency in GD&T principles and application
• Knowledgeable in structural analysis techniques
