Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will own the design, development, and validation of mechanical systems and components across the full product lifecycle. You'll integrate mechanical, electrical, and hardware requirements into manufacturable, cost-effective solutions — spanning everything from detailed CAD work and production documentation to hands-on field testing and cross-functional collaboration.
This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of design and the shop floor — someone equally comfortable in CAD and in the build bay, solving real-world product challenges alongside Development, Production, and external partners.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead mechanical, hardware, and electrical design on most development projects, driving many design activities directly.
- Create CAD models, drawings, and documentation for parts, assemblies, mounts, racks, enclosures, adapters, and vehicle integrations.
- Provide electrical and system integration support — cable drawings, power distribution, grounding, fusing, connectors, and wire harnesses.
- Integrate and troubleshoot sensors, cameras, lasers, GPS/IMU systems, radios, encoders, and DMIs.
- Support active production builds, resolving technical questions, fitment issues, rework decisions, and assembly bottlenecks.
- Create production-friendly instructions, drawings, fixtures, jigs, and controlled documentation.
- Drive engineering change control: design improvements, drawing revisions, BOM updates, and legacy product support.
- Support field service and validation, including root cause analysis and design changes to prevent issue recurrence.
- Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and ensure alignment between engineering design and production requirements.
- Evaluate supplier changes, replacement components, and alternate parts for form, fit, and function.
- Travel up to 10% for field testing, customer sites, conferences, and industry test tracks.
WHAT YOU BRING
Education & Experience
- Bachelor's degree or Technical Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- 10+ years of professional experience in product or manufacturing engineering.
Technical Skills
- Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks is required, Fusion 360 is an asset).
- Familiarity with engineering drawing standards and BOM management.
- Intermediate understanding of electronics packaging — enclosure design, thermal dissipation, connector and cable management.
- Working knowledge of electrical and wiring fundamentals; ability to troubleshoot wiring, signal, power, communication, and PCB-related issues.
- Experience integrating and troubleshooting sensors, cameras, lasers, computers, GPS/IMU systems, and related components.
- Hands-on shop-floor aptitude: build instructions, fixtures, jigs, and resolving fitment and assembly issues.
Core Competencies
- Strong attention to detail with ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
- Comfortable translating field, shop, and customer problems into actionable engineering tasks.
