• Participate in multidisciplinary design reviews.

• Apply internal procedures for product management (Windchill).

• Actively contribute to planning tasks and technical proposals by developing preliminary concepts (estimates).

• Propose new approaches (assembly, manufacturing, etc.).

• Support purchasing during interactions with suppliers.

• Occasionally support production.

What it takes to run what runs the world

• College diploma (D.E.C.) in mechanical engineering or equivalent.

• Five to ten years of experience in mechanical design; knowledge of opto-mechanical systems design is an asset.

• Knowledge of materials, mechanical manufacturing processes, heat treatments, and surface treatments.

• Familiarity with product data management (PDM, Windchill).

• Experience with the “minimum dimensioning” approach.

• Experience with 3D CAD software; experience with CREO (Pro/ENGINEER) and its modules (“Advanced Assembly,” “Cabling,” “Mechanism”) is an asset.

• Experience working in a laboratory and prototyping environment.

• Experience in designing aerospace instruments and/or equipment for harsh environments (asset).

• Knowledge of “Design for Manufacturing and Assembly” (DFM/DFA) principles (asset).

• Knowledge of CMM inspection (asset).
