    • Custom fixtures and tooling with poka-yoke and ergonomic design principles.
    • Robotic weld and handling cells, including end-of-arm tooling and guarding.
  • Create complete drawing packages: assemblies, part drawings, and BOMs ready for manufacturing.
  • Collaborate with controls engineers, manufacturing, and project managers to ensure designs meet technical, cost, and timeline requirements.
  • Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Support integration, testing, and troubleshooting of automation systems during build and commissioning phases.

Qualifications:

  • Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automation Technology, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in automation or special-purpose machine design.
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modeling, assemblies, and motion studies) and SolidWorks PDM.
  • Understanding of pneumatics, sensors, and mechanical motion systems.
  • Knowledge of robotic systems, particularly in welding, assembly, and handling applications, is an asset.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail in design for manufacturability.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
