We come to work every day because we strive to earn a living in a meaningful way. Too many people exist without finding joy or purpose in their work, and we believe that’s just wrong. After all, we spend at least a third of our lives working—so why not create workplaces where people want to come to work in the morning and feel good when they leave at the end of the day?At Protocase, your ideas don’t just matter—they shape our future. We thrive on collaboration and innovation, where every voice is heard, valued, and makes a real impact. Does this sound like something you’d want to be a part of and help grow?Protocase specializes in custom sheet metal enclosures, panels, and parts for engineers and innovators worldwide, built with unmatched speed and quality. We take the impossible and make it possible for some of the brightest minds on the planet.Learn more about us here: https://workdifferently.Info/About the CompanyEstablished in 2001, Protocase Inc. combines advanced software with innovative manufacturing systems to deliver fully custom sheet metal solutions to engineering, research, and aerospace industries. With 400+ employees and over 16,000 customers globally—including Boeing, Raytheon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, NASA, and MIT—we operate with ISO:9001 certification, AS9100D registration, ITAR compliance, and Canadian Controlled Goods registration.We are growing quickly and investing heavily in the systems and equipment that allow us to scale intelligently.About the OpportunityWe are hiring one to two Mechanical Engineers to improve and evolve the manufacturing systems that power our speed, precision, and scalability.This is a manufacturing engineering role focused on process improvement, equipment implementation, automation support, and production optimization — not product design R&D.Level, scope of responsibility, and compensation will be determined based on relevant experience, technical depth, and demonstrated ability to independently execute projects of increasing complexity.Depending on your experience and demonstrated capability,



you may join us at one of three levels:Early-Career / Developing EngineerYou’re building your foundation and ready to grow quickly in a high-accountability environment.Support improvement initiatives led by senior engineersAssist in tooling and fixture designCollect and analyze production dataParticipate in structured experiments and process trialsLearn equipment capabilities, constraints, and production flowThis level is hands‑on and execution‑focused, with increasing ownership over time.Intermediate EngineerYou’ve independently delivered measurable improvements and are ready to own projects end‑to‑end.Lead defined improvement initiatives from concept to validationDesign and implement tooling, fixtures, and station upgradesRun structured experiments and confirm results with dataDiagnose root causes with limited oversightImprove throughput, repeatability, and operational efficiencyThis level carries clear ownership and measurable performance impact.Advanced / Senior-Level EngineerYou think in systems, influence outcomes at scale, and help shape long-term direction.Lead complex, cross‑functional manufacturing evolution initiativesDrive capital equipment analysis and investment recommendationsOversee automation integration projectsMentor and elevate junior engineersContribute to long‑term manufacturing scalability strategyThis level combines technical depth, strategic thinking, and broad operational influence.Across all levels, this role requires strong analytical thinking, mechanical intuition, and hands‑on execution on the production floor.You will not simply support improvement — you will help drive it.About YouWe care about how you think, how you execute,



and how you take ownership.You’re likely a strong fit if you:Think in systems and look for scalable solutions — not quick fixesPush beyond surface‑level answers to uncover root causesAre comfortable working directly with machinery and real production constraintsTake ownership of outcomes and follow projects through to completionCommunicate clearly and collaborate well across teamsWhat You BringA degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related disciplineExperience in manufacturing, CNC, automation, or production environmentsStrong engineering fundamentals and structured problem‑solving abilityConfidence analyzing data and validating improvements through experimentationA hands‑on mindset with the ability to translate ideas into implemented solutionsWe’re open to a range of experience levels. What matters most is demonstrated capability, initiative, and the ability to execute meaningful improvements in a real‑world manufacturing environment.Why Us?At Protocase, we believe in recognizing and rewarding hard work and dedication.Our starting annual total compensation package—including base salary and performance incentives—ranges as follows, depending on experience and scope of responsibility:Early-Career / Developing Engineer: $55,000–$60,000 CADIntermediate Engineer: $70,000–$85,000 CADAdvanced / Senior-Level Engineer: $90,000–$110,000+ CADIn addition, you can look forward to:Training and Growth: Leadership Training and skills development opportunities, as well as regular coaching and chance for growth.Comprehensive Health Care Plan and Company RRSP: Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, and Group Insurance perks as well as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan at 6 months of full‑time employment.Community Discounts: Enjoy discounts at local shops and restaurants.YMCA Membership: Access a cost‑shared YMCA membership and a Pension Plan after three months of employment.Vacation: Two weeks of vacation, increasing to three weeks after three years, and four weeks after five years.Social Events: Regular social events, including seasonal parties and monthly lunches.Lifestyle of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia: Live in a community with quick commutes, affordable homes on generous plots of land, beautiful scenery, and friendly people—a lifestyle that marries nature with a vibrant culture.Ready to Join Us?If you’re excited about the opportunity to make a real impact in the world of custom manufacturing, we want to hear from you.
