Job description

Location: The role can be based in Victoria, BC, hybrid, or remote within Canada.

Why this role

• New-to-world technology: a fully integrated, IP68-rated, data-reporting smart motor used in drones, humanoid robotics testing, motion stabilization, and underwater applications.
• First dedicated applications engineer: high autonomy to shape the function, with a path to build and lead a team, or to own the application area you’re most excited about.
• Aggressive product roadmap: roughly 10 new products over the next 12 months, including a new motor size and heavier-duty models.
• A real voice in where the technology goes next, from marine steering to packaging automation to forestry.
• Small, collaborative, startup-energy culture with a newly appointed, experienced CEO.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary of $90,000 to $130,000 CAD based on experience to make $140,000 - $170,000 CAD
• Equity (ESOP)
• Bonuses
• Full benefits

What you’ll own

• Technical discovery and fit analysis for key accounts: sizing, selecting, and integrating the motor into customer machines.
• Demos, integration calls, and on-site installs and troubleshooting alongside the sales team, with travel across North America.
• The feedback loop to R&D: turning customer needs, product gaps, and recurring issues into product input and technical documentation.

2–3+ years as an applications engineer, ideally at a motion control, automation, robotics, or electromechanical product company. Proven mechanical and software experience. Mechatronics is ideal, and CAD proficiency (Fusion or SolidWorks) is required. Familiarity with Python and PLC programming, plus industrial communications such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP, or CAN. A consultative, customer-curious mindset and the ability to connect technical capability to what a customer actually needs.
