- Create and maintain 3D models, assemblies, drawings, and related engineering documentation using SolidWorks.
- Design components and assemblies with consideration for manufacturability, reliability, cost, serviceability, and product performance.
- Build, modify, and evaluate prototypes for new products, components, and design improvements.
- Develop and perform mechanical testing to validate designs and identify potential failure modes.
- Diagnose mechanical failures and recommend corrective design changes.
- Work with manufacturing processes including forming, welding, CNC machining, fabrication, and assembly.




- Collaborate with Marketing and other internal stakeholders to understand customer and end-user requirements.
- Translate product requirements and user feedback into practical engineering solutions.
- Provide estimates related to materials, manufacturing costs, development effort, and project timing.
- Prepare technical reports, drawings, specifications, test documentation, and other engineering records.
- Complete required documentation in accordance with Cheelcare's Quality Management System (QMS).
- Participate in design reviews, verification and validation activities, and continuous product improvement.

Qualifications, Education & Experience

- Experience with AutoCAD is considered an asset.
- Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, mechanics, materials, tolerances, and material selection.




- Practical knowledge of manufacturing processes including forming, welding, CNC machining, fabrication, and assembly.
- Hands-on prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and failure-diagnostic experience.
- Ability to create clear engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Familiarity with regulated product development, medical devices, assistive technology, or Quality Management Systems is considered an asset.

What We're Looking For

- Creative thinker who is comfortable developing unconventional solutions to difficult engineering problems.
- Strong ability to visualize and evaluate different approaches to a design challenge.
- Able to work independently while collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team.
- Takes ownership of assigned engineering work and follows projects through implementation.
- Able to balance technical performance with cost, manufacturing capability, and project timelines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable moving between CAD design, prototyping, testing, and the production environment.
