You will own the mechanical realization of new products - from R&D concepts and prototypes to manufacturable, scalable releases. You’ll bridge research, design, quality, and operations: translating bench science into robust mechanical systems, fixtures, and assemblies; planning and executing validation; and partnering with Manufacturing to launch on time, to spec, and ready to scale. Success in this role means thriving in a fast-moving, small-team environment, flexing across disciplines (with awareness of biochemistry/fluids constraints) and tackling new problems every day to turn ideas into reliable products. Job Requirements - Education/experience: BSc/BEng Mechanical/Mechatronics (or related; MASc asset); 3-5+ years in product development/NPI or manufacturing (startup/SME pace preferred). - Core engineering: Mechanics/materials; DFM/DFA, GD&T, tolerance analysis. - CAD & docs: Advanced SolidWorks/Fusion; drawings, BOMs, ECNs; rigorous revision control and accurate documentation. - Manufacturing & lean: 5S, standard work, changeover/Kanban, cell design; PFMEA/DFMEA. - Data & quality: SPC, capability, DOE; plan/execute V&V; use KPIs to drive improvements. - Tools: Minitab/Excel/Python (or equivalents); PLM/PDM; create clear SOPs/work instructions/flowcharts. - PM & problem-solving: Organize multiple priorities; turn complex data into actionable recommendations. - Communication: Strong written/verbal; effective with cross-functional teams and vendors; confident stakeholder presentations. - Safety/ergonomics: Designs that reduce risk and improve efficiency; adjacent literacy in controls/EE and fluids/biochem. - Mindset: Detail-oriented, documentation-driven; ownership, continuous learning, and bias to action. Job Responsibilities - Product realization: Convert R&D concepts into manufacturable designs (DFM/DFA, GD&T, tolerance analysis); generate BOMs/drawings/specs. - Mechanical & tooling design: Design/iterate parts, fixtures, and assembly/test tooling; select materials & processes (machining, molding, sheet metal, 3D print). - V&V & corrective action: Plan/execute tests with clear acceptance criteria; analyze failures and drive fixes (8D/A3). - Launch support: Enable pilot builds and ramp; troubleshoot on the floor; collaborate with suppliers on manufacturability, cost/lead time, and quality. - Data-driven improvement: Apply SPC/capability/DOE; track KPIs (yield, scrap, cycle time, OEE, takt, DPPM) and execute CI actions. - Quality & compliance: Build/maintain SOPs, work instructions, ECNs, PFMEA/DFMEA, control plans, process flows; align with NIOSH/ISO requirements. - Safety & ergonomics: Design workstations/fixtures that improve safety and reduce injury risk. - Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with Production, QC, Supply Chain, and R&D on process/product improvements; advise on equipment/layout; flex into adjacent domains (basic EE/controls, fluids/biochem).
