Aurea Technologies Inc. is seeking a full-time Senior Mechanical Engineer specializing in Defence products to join its innovative team at Burnside Business Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. As a leader in portable renewable energy solutions, Aurea has developed the world’s most powerful and user-friendly small-scale wind turbines. The successful candidate will contribute to developing our military-grade RISE Infantry Turbine as well as a non-defence version intended for backup power in remote residential areas and for disaster relief.

This individual will be integral in producing complex CAD designs, running in-depth simulations, and participating in rugged field-testing deployments.

Responsibilities:

- Develop and refine CAD models of wind turbine assemblies for prototyping and production
- Prepare engineering drawings and documentation to support prototyping and scaled manufacturing
- Collaborate with the product development team to adapt features from RISE to non-defence consumer and commercial applications
- Product testing, data collection, and troubleshooting in remote and off-grid field locations, including in adverse weather (rain, snow, high wind, sub-zero temperatures), involving travel to sites that may require hiking with equipment over uneven terrain
- Identify and resolve mechanical design issues impacting product performance or production efficiency
- Support compliance with CE, UL, CSA, MILSPEC, DEFSTAN, NATO, and other relevant certifications
- Support production readiness including tolerance stack-up analysis, fastener selections, and BOM generation
- Interface with suppliers and internal procurement to ensure timely component sourcing
- Maintain version control and updates to mechanical designs as changes are implemented

Requirements:





- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from an accredited institution
- Must have a P.Eng. designation (or equivalent, with eligibility for registration in Nova Scotia)
- At least 8 years of experience in mechanical design in a defence or aerospace R&D; setting
- Proficiency with CAD software (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Creo, or Inventor)
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (injection molding, casting, CNC machining, etc.)
- Must have experience with fatigue, heat, and structural analysis
- Experience in mechanical drawing interpretation, tolerance analysis, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
- Experience in renewable energy, field-ready technology, motor design, or rugged product design is a robust asset
- Previous experience interpreting SOWs and working with a PM to develop a detailed work breakdown structure to accurately forecast delivery milestones
- Comfortable communicating with a wide range of stakeholders with the ability to defend design choices and explain technical limitations
- Must be able and willing to travel and work in remote or austere environments for field testing purposes

Additional Attributes:

- Able to work independently and collaboratively as part of a fast-paced team
- Organized, self-driven, and solution-oriented
- Strong communication and documentation skills
- Adaptable and willing to grow within a dynamic cleantech environment

This is an on-site role in Dartmouth, NS. Candidates must be able to work on-site in Dartmouth from their start date. Any interested, eligible candidates should email Cat Adalay at [email protected] with their resume and cover letter.

We appreciate every application. However, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
