Mechanical Engineer

This is a unique engineering role where you are encouraged to work collaboratively, think innovatively, and iterate frequently. This role suits an experienced hands-on builder, someone who is curious, and passionate about solving the ‘that can’t be done’ problems.
In this role, you will be directly responsible for leading key aspects of engineering R&D—creating new 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.
Key ResponsibilitiesConcept Development & Innovation: 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.Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: 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.Client Interaction: Preparation and presentation of concepts, designs and products to clients.
Experience RequiredExperience: 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience.Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.Design & Modelling: Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD. Assemblies, functional mechanics and surfacing experience, an asset.Prototyping & Manufacturing: Hands-on lab skills (3D printing, hand tools). Knowledge of machining, thermoforming, assembly is a strong asset.Mindset & Problem Solving: Proactive problem solver with an open mindset who thrives in R&D cycles.Communication & Collaboration: Articulate communicator who excels in a feedbackrich, multidisciplinary team environment.
Compensation and Search ProcessThis 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.
