About The Role

Electrans builds retrofit and autonomous coupling systems for commercial vehicles. You will design the robotic hardware that connects truck to trailers connections without a human in the loop. You will own designs from concept through field deployment.

What You’ll Do
Design robotic and electromechanical assemblies in CAD (actuators, linkages, brackets, enclosures, harness routing)
Run design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) reviews with suppliers and the shop floor
Create drawings, GD&T;, BOMs, and ECOs in our PLM system
Specify motors, sensors, bearings, fasteners, and sealing for outdoor, vibration-heavy duty cycles
Run tolerance stack-ups, structural checks, and FEA to validate designs
Plan and run validation and acceptance tests, and turn results into design changes
Design jigs and fixtures for production
Work with software and electrical engineers on interfaces, packaging, and cable routing
Support field issues and Root-Cause Failure Analysis from deployed sites

Must Have
Bachelor's in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or robotics (or equivalent)
3+ years designing mechanical systems for robots, automation, or vehicles
Solid CAD skills (SolidWorks or similar) and GD&T;
Hands-on experience with prototyping,



assembly, and troubleshooting
Comfortable working with sheet metal, machined, cast, and welded parts
Able to travel to the US for business

Nice to have
Commercial vehicle, trailer, or heavy equipment experience
FEA (SolidWorks Simulation or Ansys)
Experience with PLM/ERP systems and ECO processes
Startup experience taking a design from prototype to production
Familiarity with CAN, sensors, and basic electrical integration

What Success Looks Like
30 days: Learn the product, BOMs, and build process
90 days: Own a subassembly redesign through validation
12 months: Lead a design release into production

Pay: $85,000.00-$125,000.00 per year

Advantages:
Casual dress
Company events
Flexible schedule
In office parking

Application question(s):
Do you have a valid Canadian and/or US passport?

Education:
Bachelor's Degree (required)

Experience:
Mechanical engineering: 3 years (required)

Willingness to travel:
25% (preferred)

Work Location: In person
