About the Position

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join an engineering team directly connected to the factory.

The role combines mechanical design, production support, continuous improvement, and problem-solving on the ground in a context of manufacturing high-capacity industrial equipment and accessories.

This is a position for someone who enjoys seeing their designs manufactured, used, and improved.

Work Environment

Steel manufacturing / welded structures
Custom design and continuous improvement
Close proximity to production
Field culture, focused on collaboration and efficiency

Your Impact

Design and develop lifting/handling industrial equipment and accessories
Ensure the reliability, safety, and compliance of designs (calculations, validation, certification)
Reduce lead times and improve production quality through design and method improvements
Actively participate in developing a strong, results-oriented technical team

Main Responsibilities

Design & Development

Design and model mechanical assemblies in 3D (welded structures, assemblies, components).
Develop solutions for heavy handling equipment and accessories.
Perform and validate calculations: loads, material strength, stiffness, stability, safety factors.
Integrate hydraulic systems and ensure their proper functioning (sizing, component selection, control logic).

Industrialization & Production Launch

Produce complete drawings: tolerances, welding symbols, treatments, instructions.
Define bill of materials (BOM), purchased parts, and subassemblies.
Collaborate with the factory to improve manufacturability, quality, and production methods.

Technical / Field Support

Act as a technical reference point for production and after-sales service.
Diagnose and correct product-related issues (breakdowns, non-conformities, modifications).
Participate in inspections and root cause analyses.

Certification & Compliance

Prepare and validate the technical documentation required for equipment approvals and certifications.
Ensure traceability and document management (plans, revisions, reports).

Continuous Improvement

Participate in optimization projects: cost reduction, robustness improvement, ergonomics, maintenance, and lead times.
Propose innovative ideas to standardize processes and improve overall performance.

Profile

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering
Member of the OIQ (or eligible in the short term).
3 to 5 years of experience in mechanical design in a manufacturing environment (steel or welded structures).
Proficiency in CAD software (ideally SolidWorks).
Practical and collaborative mindset, comfortable on the production floor.
Functional English.

Important Assets

Experience in steel manufacturing / welded structures.
Knowledge of hydraulics and integration of mechanical systems.
Good understanding of manufacturing processes: welding, machining, assembly.
Technical rigor and product safety awareness.

Contractual Information

Conditions

Salary: $85,000 to $105,000 depending on experience.
Remote Work: up to 1 day per week
