Mechanical Designer

Full-time

xona-space

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

(français ci-dessous)

We are seeking a Mechanical Designer to join Xona’s spacecraft hardware development team in Montréal, at the historic RCA Victor Building in St. Henri. In this role, you will support the design, development, and testing of mechanical systems such as those that enable spacecraft attitude determination and control and improve power performance.

You will work closely with controls, electrical, systems, avionics, and software engineers to help develop high-reliability electromechanical hardware for satellite flight systems. This is a hands-on role involving both electrical design and laboratory testing, with opportunities to contribute throughout the development lifecycle from early prototyping, through spacecraft integration and test and into full scale manufacturing.

What you will do

  • Support the design and development of mechanical and electromechanical components and assemblies.

  • Create and update 3D CAD models, drawings, and design documentation.

  • Assist with requirements definition, trade studies, analysis, and design reviews.

  • Support hardware bring-up, integration, verification, and environmental test campaigns.

  • Help develop and execute mechanical tests, including vibration and thermal cycling.

  • Assist with supplier component evaluation, selection, and technical coordination.

  • Contribute to prototype builds, troubleshooting, and design improvements.

  • Collaborate with controls, electrical, systems, software, manufacturing, and test engineers.

  • Document test results, engineering analyses, and design decisions.

  • Work under the guidance of senior engineers while progressively taking ownership of assigned components or subsystems.

How You’ll Work

  • Take responsibility for delivering assigned work with appropriate guidance and follow-through.

  • Be proactive in identifying issues, asking questions, and communicating risks early.

  • Balance thoughtful engineering with hands-on execution; participate directly in builds, testing, and troubleshooting.

  • Work effectively in a fast-paced environment where priorities may shift and information may be incomplete.

  • Approach challenges with curiosity, accountability, and a willingness to learn.

  • Contribute to a collaborative, high-ownership culture focused on building reliable flight hardware.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

  • 2 to 4 years of experience in mechanical design, development, testing, or a related engineering role. New graduates with relevant project or internship experience are encouraged to apply.

  • Familiarity with mechanical CAD tools such as SolidWorks.

  • Understanding of machine design, mechanics of materials, kinematics, dynamics, and thermodynamics.

  • Experience with (or strong interest in) mechanical testing, prototyping, and hands-on hardware development.

  • Strong problem-solving, communication, organizational, and attention-to-detail skills.

  • Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with precision mechanisms, robotics, electric motors, or high-speed rotating assemblies.

  • Exposure to spacecraft systems, ADCS hardware, or electromechanical control systems.

  • Familiarity with finite element analysis for structural, thermal, or dynamic applications.

  • Experience supporting hardware integration, assembly, environmental testing, or qualification activities.

  • Understanding of control systems or control theory.

Il s’agit d’un rôle pratique comprenant des activités de conception et d’essais en laboratoire, qui vous permettra de contribuer à l’ensemble du cycle de développement, depuis les premiers prototypes jusqu’à la fabrication à grande échelle, en passant par l’intégration et les essais des engins spatiaux.

Ce que vous ferez

  • Participer à la conception et au développement de composants et d’assemblages mécaniques et électromécaniques.

  • Créer et mettre à jour des modèles CAO 3D, des dessins techniques et la documentation de conception.

  • Participer à la définition des exigences, aux études comparatives, aux analyses techniques et aux revues de conception.

  • Participer à la mise en service initiale du matériel, à son intégration, à sa vérification ainsi qu’aux campagnes d’essais environnementaux.

  • Contribuer à l’élaboration et à l’exécution d’essais mécaniques, notamment des essais de vibration et de cyclage thermique.

  • Participer à l’évaluation et à la sélection de composants auprès des fournisseurs ainsi qu’à la coordination technique avec ceux-ci.

  • Contribuer à l’assemblage de prototypes, au dépannage et à l’amélioration des conceptions.

  • Collaborer avec les équipes d’ingénierie spécialisées en commande, en électricité, en systèmes, en logiciel, en fabrication et en essais.

  • Documenter les résultats d’essais, les analyses techniques et les décisions de conception.

  • Travailler sous la supervision d’ingénieurs et d’ingénieures d’expérience, tout en assumant progressivement la responsabilité des composants ou sous-systèmes qui vous sont confiés.

Votre façon de travailler

  • Assumer la responsabilité des travaux qui vous sont confiés, avec le niveau d’encadrement approprié, et en assurer le suivi jusqu’à leur réalisation.

  • Faire preuve d’initiative pour cerner les problèmes, poser des questions et communiquer rapidement les risques.

  • Concilier rigueur d’ingénierie et exécution pratique en participant directement aux activités d’assemblage, d’essai et de dépannage.

  • Travailler efficacement dans un environnement dynamique où les priorités peuvent évoluer et où l’information disponible peut parfois être incomplète.

  • Aborder les défis avec curiosité, sens des responsabilités et volonté d’apprendre.

  • Contribuer à une culture de collaboration et de responsabilisation axée sur le développement de matériel de vol fiable.

Qualifications requises

  • Baccalauréat en génie mécanique ou dans un domaine connexe.

  • De 1 à 5 ans d’expérience en conception mécanique, en développement, en essais ou dans un rôle d’ingénierie connexe. Les personnes récemment diplômées possédant une expérience pertinente acquise dans le cadre de projets ou de stages sont également invitées à poser leur candidature.

  • Connaissance des logiciels de conception assistée par ordinateur (CAO) mécanique, tels que SolidWorks.

  • Compréhension des principes de conception de machines, de résistance des matériaux, de cinématique, de dynamique et de thermodynamique.

  • Expérience en essais mécaniques, en prototypage et en développement pratique de matériel, ou vif intérêt pour ces domaines.

  • Excellentes aptitudes en résolution de problèmes, en communication et en organisation, ainsi qu’un grand souci du détail.

  • Capacité à travailler efficacement au sein d’une équipe multidisciplinaire.

Qualifications souhaitées

  • Expérience avec des mécanismes de précision, des systèmes robotiques, des moteurs électriques ou des assemblages rotatifs à haute vitesse.

  • Expérience ou connaissance des systèmes d’engins spatiaux, du matériel de détermination et de contrôle d’attitude (ADCS) ou des systèmes de commande électromécaniques.

  • Connaissance de l’analyse par éléments finis appliquée aux analyses structurales, thermiques ou dynamiques.

  • Expérience en soutien à l’intégration et à l’assemblage de matériel ainsi qu’aux essais environnementaux ou aux activités de qualification.

  • Compréhension des systèmes de commande ou de la théorie de la commande.
