General description:
Working closely with a team of experienced engineers, you will develop, prototype, test and ensure
production readiness of parts, assemblies and systems. Hands on experience in a prototyping environment
is essential; as all of our designers take part in the initial production of their designs. This type of
environment demands a creative mindset, where a challenge is the motivation to get the job done.
Tasks assigned include:
• preparation of models, drawings, plans, designs, calculations, costs estimates, and bills of material
in accordance with established codes, standards, drawings or other specifications
Prerequisite Skills and Qualifications:
• Diploma or Bachelor's degree in a related field of engineering
• Three (3) year of applicable experience
• Experience in mechanical component design
• Experience and understanding of fundamental design calculations and techniques used in analysis
• Proficiency in 3D CAD applications, ideally SolidWorks
• Proficiency in blue print reading and creation in accordance with ASME Y14.100 and associated
standards
• Experience with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) in accordance with ASME Y14.5
• Demonstrated application of analytical skills
• Technical report writing and presentation experience
• Demonstrated ability to effectively trouble shoot and problem solve
• Excellent communication skills, both oral and written
• Ability to travel internationally. Possess or able to acquire and maintain a valid passport
• Must be able to secure a secret security clearance
Desirable:
• Proficiency in Finite-Element-Analysis (FEA) simulation
• Knowledge of typical structural metals and associated welding practices
• Knowledge of surface treatments required for adhesion, wear, environmental protection or similar
• Knowledge of typical test equipment (i.e. accelerometers, load cells, potentiometers, transducers,
etc.) and analysis of test results
• Project management experience (team or individual)
• Experience with manufacturing technologies
• Experience with Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)
• Experience working with automotive, aerospace & defense related standards (i.e. ISO 9000,
AS9100, ISO/TS 16949, Stanag 4569 AEP 55 Volume 1 and 2, ITOP 4-2-508)
• Knowledge of Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (or FMVSS)
• Knowledge of reliability analysis and testing
• Knowledge of advanced Fiber Reinforced Plastics (Glass, Carbon, Aramid)
