Engineering Design Manager

Job Description

REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years of mechanical design experience, with a strong track record of both producing complex designs independently and leading a team.
• Expert-level CAD skills and the ability to produce full, rigorous drawing packages.
• Willingness and physical capability to work hands-on in the workshop and travel out into the field for testing and deployment in harsh conditions.
• Strong practical understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerances, and fabricated assemblies.
• Excellent communication skills to effectively translate complex engineering concepts across mechanical, software, and fabrication teams.

Preferred

• Software / AI Development Experience: Highly advantageous. Because you will be working hand-in-hand with our software team on autonomous systems, an understanding of software engineering, system architecture, or AI integration will be a major asset.
• Expertise in structural/welded frames and complex enclosures.
• Experience in vehicle, autonomous platform, or heavy equipment integration.
• A strong background in rapid prototyping and end-to-end product development.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Principal Design & Modelling: Act as the primary mechanical designer, executing high-level 3D CAD modelling (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360 or similar) for custom mechanical systems, autonomous platforms, and fabricated assemblies.
• Team Leadership: Direct, manage, and mentor the design team, balancing your own design workload with assigning tasks, reviewing team models, and ensuring high-quality output.
• Field Deployment & Testing: Actively go out into the field to oversee system integration, conduct real-world testing, and troubleshoot hardware in rugged environments.
• Cross-Functional & Software Integration: Partner closely with workshop, fabrication, and software development teams to ensure seamless integration between mechanical structures, electronics, and software/AI systems.
• Design for Manufacture (DFM): Champion DFM principles for sheet metal and welded structures, optimizing designs for field serviceability, cost, and weight.
• Documentation: Produce and oversee full manufacturing and fabrication drawing packages, BOMs, and technical documentation.
