About Canadian Strategic Missions Corp. (CSMC)Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation (CSMC) is building the capabilities that will shape Canada's future in space, defence, and energy. We focus on developing dual-use systems that address critical challenges here on Earth while enabling sustained human activity beyond it.In a short time, CSMC has established real momentum. We have secured significant government investment to advance next‐generation micro nuclear reactor technologies in partnership with leading institutions, while continuing to expand a portfolio of technologies designed for remote environments, national defence, and future space missions. These efforts reflect a broader ambition to deliver reliable power and critical infrastructure where it matters most.Our work is grounded in close collaboration with government and guided by a clear sense of purpose: building sovereign capability at a time when it has never been more important. We care deeply about execution, long‐term impact, and earning the trust required to deliver systems that will serve Canada and its allies for decades.CSMC is a company for builders. We are a team drawn to hard problems, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to shape systems that matter at a national and global scale. We thrive in ambiguity, value execution, and are motivated by mission and impact.About the RoleCSMC is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to lead the development of manufacturing systems and processes for next‐generation energy technologies and other mission‐critical hardware. This is not a traditional manufacturing engineering role focused on improving mature production lines. Instead, you will help define how complex hardware is built from the ground up.You will work at the intersection of design engineering, production, quality, and supply chain to establish new manufacturing cells, develop fabrication and assembly processes, qualify production methods, and support the transition from prototype through production. This role requires a hands‐on engineer who can take ownership of manufacturing challenges in an environment where many of the answers have yet to be defined.This role is ideal for someone who has previously helped launch a new product, production line, manufacturing cell, or facility in industries such as aerospace, space systems, automotive, defence, or other highly regulated environments. We are looking for builders who thrive in ambiguity, enjoy solving first‐of‐a‐kind manufacturing challenges, and can transform engineering concepts into production‐ready systems.We are not looking for someone to optimize an existing factory. We're looking for someone to help build the manufacturing system for a product and industry that largely doesn't exist today.Key ResponsibilitiesManufacturing System DevelopmentLead the development of manufacturing strategies for new and complex hardware systems from prototype through productionDesign and implement new manufacturing cells, workflows,
