This is a unique engineering role where you are encouraged to work collaboratively, think innovatively, and iterate frequently. In this role, you will be directly responsible for leading key aspects of engineering R&D;—creating current products, mechanisms, molds, fixtures, through an iterative process. Working closely with a cross-functional team, you will bridge the gap between creative design intent, mechanical functionality, and production execution. Drive R&D; in materials, hardgoods integration, and novel construction processes. CAD & Mechanical Design: Utilize 3D CAD software to architect detailed designs, models, and complex assemblies. Prototyping & Hands-On Fabrication: Test, evaluate, and validate design hypotheses through proof-of-concept fabrication and assembly in our studio. Testing, Analysis & Iteration: Design and conduct empirical experiments to assess your designs and materials under real-world conditions. Partner with in house and client teams in an open, team-oriented R&D; environment to achieve unified design goals.



Technical Documentation: Create clear documentation and technical specifications for construction processes, assembly steps, BOMs, and manufacturing hand-offs as needed.

Experience:
7+ years of mechanical engineering experience. Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience. Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD. Assemblies, functional mechanics and surfacing experience, an asset. Hands-on lab skills (3D printing, hand tools). Knowledge of machining, thermoforming, assembly is a strong asset. This role is based in Squamish, BC and performed solely on site. Compensation will be dependent on experience and qualifications, starting at $140,000CAD (plus extended health benefits), based on full-time employment (per British Columbia’s Employment Standards Act ). Applicants must be willing to undergo a criminal record check. #
