About Mycionics
We are a strong, multidisciplinary mechatronics team where every member directly contributes to the product. We design, prototype, fabricate, and industrialize full robotic systems - spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, AI/ML, and data analytics - and deploy them globally to customers across three continents.
The Role
We are seeking a versatile and robust
Mechanical Assembly Technician to build and deploy our large-scale agricultural robots. This role is physically dynamic; you will be assembling precision robotic arms in our shop one week and traveling to a customer site to rig and install the system the next.
You will join our production team, working alongside electrical technicians and assemblers to take machines from parts-on-a-pallet to fully operational robotic cells. We need someone with a strong mechanical intuition, someone who knows how to properly align linear rails, tension belts, and use power tools with precision rather than brute force.
Key Responsibilities
- Mechanical Assembly: Assemble complex robotic systems including structural framing, linear motion guides, belt drives, and pneumatic systems.
- Site Installation: Travel to customer sites (domestic and international) to install racking, structural frames, and robotic units, often working in tight spaces or at heights.
- Rigging & Handling: Safely operate forklifts and lifting equipment to move heavy machinery and position components during assembly and install.
- Precision Work: Execute detailed assembly tasks requiring proper alignment, indexing, and the correct application of fasteners and adhesives (e.g., Loctite).
- Feedback Loop: Identify assembly issues or design conflicts during the build process and communicate them effectively to the engineering team to improve future designs.
Technical Qualifications
- Experience: 3+ years of industrial experience in automation, machine building, or millwrighting.
- Education: College Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Millwright certification, or equivalent trade experience. Note: Candidates with significant relevant experience will be considered without specific educational credentials.
- Tools: Strong proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and shop machinery (drill presses, bandsaws, etc.).
- Heavy Equipment: Valid Forklift Certification and experience with rigging/hoisting heavy loads.
- Travel: Valid Driver's License and ability to travel internationally for field installations.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Robotics/Automation: Experience with industrial automation or robotics assembly.
- Electrical Basics: Familiarity with electrical assembly or cable routing is a strong asset.
- Fabrication: Machining or welding skills for modifying parts during prototype builds.
Who You Are
- Mechanically Inclined: You have a natural aptitude for how things fit together and treat sensitive components with care.
- Adaptable & Resilient: You are comfortable working in a clean assembly shop as well as on-site at a farm, handling shifting priorities and environments.
- Safety Conscious: You are hyper-aware of safety protocols, especially when working with heavy loads and moving machinery.
Why Join Mycionics?
- Global Impact: We deploy systems to customers on three continents, offering opportunities for international travel.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work in a facility where you see the physical machine being built next to you. You will collaborate closely with electrical, software, and AI teams to see your mechanical designs come to life.
- Benefits & Wellness: We offer a comprehensive benefits package including extended health care, dental, vision care, and a Health Spending Account (HSA).
- Environment: Based in the industrial hub of Kitchener with free on-site parking.
- Culture: A collaborative team environment with casual dress, company events, and social hours.
