We have a small and vibrant design team in Victoria, BC with a collaborative spirit that is both humble and bold. We work together to navigate all design steps from the whiteboard to fully tested, volume-manufactured products.
We are looking for a fledgling mechanical designer—someone with some CAD experience and a hunger to crank this up a few notches. If you:
- have an innate desire to create new things,
- noodle intently over your projects, and
- yearn to expand your technical depth and understanding,
then you will likely be a great fit!
Will it all be whipped cream and roses? Probably not. But as a team we’ll chip away at this awesome, fun and sometimes infuriating dream that we’ve decided deserves to become a reality. And don’t worry—you won’t get stuck on a manufacturing line—you’ll design real products and you’ll be given the same responsibility as any of our full-time engineers.
Responsibilities
- Design new and complex mechanical assemblies, such as pressure-rated enclosures, brushless motors, battery modules, connectors, lights, electronics trays, cameras, and vehicle frames
- Evaluate system failure modes, create validation plans and support the execution of these plans
- Component and vehicle-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
- Design new lab testing equipment and perform lab testing
- Find, communicate with, and build relationships with new suppliers
Basic Qualifications:
- Currently enrolled in an Engineering degree in a related field (Mechanical Engineering, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, etc.)
- Proficiency in 3D modeling and drafting of components and assemblies in at least one CAD software package (Solidworks, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, etc)
- Strong and growing foundation in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and engineering materials
- Designed, built, and tested some interesting things so far
- Deep, insatiable impulse to understand, and leverage that understanding to create new things
- Innate desire to collaborate, learn, and adapt
Benefits:
- Paid holidays, Educational reimbursement, Relocation reimbursement
Pay rate: $25 CAD – $35 CAD per hour
