Duplication of existing test jigs as needed for expanded production capacity. Reviewing and providing feedback on electrical designs (Altium) produced by the team. Researching, selecting, and procuring mechanical and electro‑mechanical components. Assisting with programming and debugging of test jigs. Troubleshooting manufacturing issues involving test equipment, mechanics, pneumatics, wiring, or automated processes. Additional Duties Keeping the department workshop clean and organized, ensuring tools and equipment remain in good working condition. Monitoring and replenishing stock of common mechanical parts and consumables. Operating and maintaining FDM 3D printers; managing print queues and scheduling. Participating in continual improvement initiatives and root cause analysis investigations. Providing general testing and troubleshooting support for other teams when required. Required Or Preferred Skills And Abilities Strong proficiency in SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software. Solid knowledge of electrical circuits, PCB‑level systems, and basic electrical troubleshooting. Working knowledge of Python for scripting and automation tasks. Understanding of core microcontroller peripherals (GPIO, SPI, ADC, UART etc…). Embedded programming experience is an asset. CNC and milling experience are a strong asset. Familiarity with common electrical lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, DAQs). Strong technical aptitude and motivation to learn across multiple engineering disciplines. Experience with factory automation equipment (conveyors, robotics, machine vision, pneumatics) is a strong asset. Preferred Qualifications And Experience Mechatronics degree or equivalent combination of education and experience. 4 years of relevant engineering experience. Strong mechanical aptitude with demonstrable hands‑on skills. Solid understanding of electrical systems and basic circuit principles.
