As you know, every person is different and so is every role in a company.  That is why we have to adapt accordingly, and the process may differ slightly at times. However, please know that we always put ourselves in the candidate's shoes to ensure they have the best possible experience. 
We look forward to meeting you!

Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Designer with expertise in SolidWorks and Siemens Teamcenter PLM to join our dynamic team in Waterville or Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The ideal candidate will have 3 to 6 years of experience in mechanical design, with a strong background in precision tolerancing, mechanical assemblies, and machine design. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on innovative projects in agricultural, automotive, and industrial machinery while collaborating with a talented engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design & Development: Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and 2D drawings using SolidWorks, ensuring accuracy and adherence to engineering standards.

Precision Tolerancing: Design mechanical components with appropriate tolerances, including shafts, bearings, and housings (bearing pockets).

Machine Design: Develop and design machines with pneumatic systems, motors, and belt drives from concept to completion.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Utilize Siemens Teamcenter PLM for document control, versioning, and project collaboration.

Prototype Development & Testing: Work with the engineering team to develop prototypes, conduct testing, and refine designs based on performance feedback.

Component & Assembly Design: Support the attachment of sensor cells, mounting of machines, and integration of mechanical systems.

Automotive & Agricultural Engineering: Apply mechanical engineering principles to design vehicle structures, wheels, brakes, and related components.

Technical Documentation: Prepare bills of materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and engineering reports to support production and quality control.

Design Optimization: Analyze designs for manufacturability, performance, and cost-effectiveness, making improvements as necessary.

Hands-On Problem-Solving: Apply practical knowledge from hobbies like bicycle or car repairs, brake replacements, and home renovations to mechanical design challenges.

Compliance & Standards: Ensure all designs adhere to industry standards, safety regulations, and best practices.

Required Qualifications

Experience: 3 to 6 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, with a focus on SolidWorks and precision tolerancing.

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Design Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Technical Expertise:

Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks (including simulation, sheet metal design, and advanced assembly techniques).

Strong knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and mechanical tolerancing principles.

Experience with materials selection, manufacturing processes, and design for manufacturability (DFM).

Familiarity with PLM systems like Siemens Teamcenter and PDM (Product Data Management) tools.

Hands-on mechanical knowledge of vehicles, machinery, and structural design.

Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot and resolve mechanical design challenges efficiently.

Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and cross-team collaboration.

We value real-world experience and hands-on expertise over formal qualifications. If you are a team-focused professional with a passion for mechanical innovation and practical engineering, we’d love to hear from you!

Apply today and become part of our innovative team!
