We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) specializing in Product Development and Engineering to join our dynamic team.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who wants ownership over their work, not just a task list. You'll be developing new products, refining existing ones, and mentoring our Engineer-in-Training, all while working closely with ownership in a small company where decisions happen fast and your input actually shapes the outcome.

Responsibilities

- Lead development of new products and continuous improvement of existing product lines in accordance with applicable standards and practices
- Mentor and supervise one (1) Engineer-in-Training, supporting their path toward licensure
- Create and maintain CAD models for all products and components
- Design and build prototypes and test rigs; run and monitor product testing, including FEA and physical load testing
- Collaborate with contractors as required to fill gaps in knowledge bases and support project delivery
- Ensure organization and accuracy of drawing files, BOMs, installation guides, and technical documentation
- Support proposal documents and site plans for private customer and public projects
- Create product and site installation renderings as required




- Support internal continuous improvement projects as required
- Take on other responsibilities as priorities shift; this is a growing company, and the role will evolve to meet changing needs

Required Qualifications

- Licensed P.Eng. (or eligible for licensure with Engineers Nova Scotia)
- Strong CAD and mechanical design skills; experience with Solidworks required
- Comfortable owning a project from concept through testing to documentation
- A mentoring mindset, genuinely invested in developing the EIT, not just supervising on paper
- A team-first attitude: someone who pitches in where needed and doesn't clock-watch when something needs to get done
- Comfortable in a small-company setting: wearing multiple hats, working directly with ownership, and adapting as priorities shift

Preferred Qualifications

- Interest in fitness and exercise is an asset
- Experience in 3D rendering & Solidworks Visualizer Pro is an asset

We're a tight-knit, growing team, and the work doesn't always follow a predictable rhythm. Some stretches are heads-down design; others need someone to step up for a proposal time crunch or a product issue. We're looking for someone who meets the moment, whatever that looks like.
