- Improve existing designs for manufacturability, lead time and cost
- Support development and standardization of the company’s OEM product line
- Reverse engineer worn or obsolete equipment components when drawings are unavailable
- Take field measurements and recreate components for manufacturing
- Maintain accurate part, BOM and revision information within the ERP system




- Support service, parts and operations teams with technical questions and documentation

What We’re Looking For
- Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology , or a related discipline
- Approximately 3–5+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience
- Robust experience with Autodesk Inventor
- Experience designing industrial machinery, custom equipment, automation, conveyors, material handling equipment or fabricated assemblies
- Strong understanding of:

- Machining
- Sheet metal / structural fabrication
- Mechanical assemblies

- Experience producing complete drawing packages that can go directly to the manufacturing floor
- Experience working with BOMs, ERP systems and revision control
- Comfortable working directly with manufacturing, fabrication and shop-floor teams
- Able to manage projects independently and take ownership of designs from start to finish

Experience with shot blast equipment, surface preparation equipment or heavy industrial machinery would be an asset, but it is not required. Location: Orangeville, ON
