• Simulation and Analysis: Perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations, to analyze and optimize product performance under various conditions.

• Additive Manufacturing: Leverage expertise in additive manufacturing to design parts optimized for 3D printing processes, ensuring cost-efficiency and functionality.

• Material Expertise: Apply knowledge of metallurgy and composites to select appropriate materials for specific applications, balancing strength, weight, and cost.

• Injection Molding: Design components suitable for injection molding, optimizing for manufacturability, material flow, and cycle time.

• Prototyping and Testing: Develop prototypes, conduct testing, and iterate designs based on performance data and manufacturing feedback.

• Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure designs meet production and regulatory requirements (e.g., API, CSA standards).

• Process Optimization: Identify opportunities to improve manufacturing processes, reduce costs, and enhance product quality.

• Documentation: Prepare technical documentation, including design specifications, material reports, and manufacturing instructions.

Qualifications

• Education: Tech diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.

Experience:

o 3+ years of experience in manufacturing design engineering, preferably in Canada or a similar regulatory environment.

o Proven expertise in SolidWorks for 3D modeling and drafting.

o Hands-on experience with CFD/FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL, or similar) for fluid and thermal analysis.

o Preferred experience in additive manufacturing (3D printing technologies).

o Background in metallurgy, including material selection and heat treatment processes.

o Knowledge of composite materials and their applications in manufacturing.

o Experience with injection molding processes and design for manufacturability.

o References Required

Skills:

o Expertise in SolidWorks (CAD modeling, assemblies, and simulations).

o Proficiency in CFD/FEA analysis and interpretation of results.

o Familiarity with additive manufacturing techniques and limitations.

o Understanding of metallurgy principles and material testing.

o Knowledge of composite material properties and processing.

o Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

o Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

o Familiarity with manufacturing standards and regulations (e.g., CSA, ISO).

Certifications (preferred):

o SolidWorks Professional Certification.

o Additive Manufacturing Certification (e.g., ASME or equivalent).

o Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing certification.

o Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or eligibility in Canada.

Work Environment

• Collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment in a Canadian manufacturing facility.

• Combination of office-based design work and hands-on time in production settings.

• Occasional travel may be required to support suppliers or production sites.

• Must be a Canadian Citizen and able to travel

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses (in CAD).

• Professional development and training opportunities, including support for P.Eng. licensure.

• Flexible work hours and potential for hybrid work arrangements, per Canadian labor standards.
