Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

We’re searching for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer in Concord, Canada. This team focuses specifically on packaging, converting, and finishing equipment - machinery that performs printing, labeling, inspection, bank encoding, and end-of-line packaging. In this role, you'll lead the conceptual design of custom automation systems, working alongside senior designers and cross-functional electrical, programming, vision, and motion-control teams to take machinery from concept through delivery on aggressive project timelines.

Responsibilities

• Lead the customized portions of machine design - generally the “mad scientist,” first-of-a-kind problem-solving work - while standard modules and components handle the rest
• Develop and detail designs using SolidWorks (3D) and AutoCAD (2D), applying GD&T principles throughout
• Build and maintain bills of materials for both standard and custom-designed machine content
• Work within SolidWorks PDM, leveraging the team's library of standard modules alongside custom-designed elements
• Collaborate closely with electrical, programming, vision, motion control, and application engineering teams to support the equipment's PC-based, IP/Ethernet control architecture
• Support fast-moving project timelines, from initial concept design through detailed design, integration, and final installation
• Partner with field service and commissioning teams, incorporating feedback from onsite installation and troubleshooting to improve design and serviceability
• Lead the conceptual design and development of custom high-speed automation systems built for speed, precision, and performance
• Drive pure innovation and automation using advanced technologies
• Work on cutting-edge engineering projects that truly challenge and excite you

• Qualifications5+ years of mechanical design experience in high-speed automation or custom machine building
• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
• Strong understanding of servo systems, pneumatics, mechanical motion systems, GD&T, manufacturing and machining practices
• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks and experience with PDM/document control systems
• Strong problem-solving mindset with a passion for innovation and technology
• Comfortable working across both 3D and 2D CAD, including AutoCAD
• Experience creating and maintaining bills of materials
• Mechanical design experience involving moving machinery
• Strong knowledge of conveyors, gear ratios, and power transmission, in addition to servos and pneumatics
• Background in complex automation equipment design, rather than primarily automotive, mold-making, structural, or sheet metal design
• Able to ramp up quickly and take ownership of designs against firm customer deadlines
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Must be legally authorized to work in Canada
• Preferred QualificationsPrior experience designing packaging, converting, or finishing equipment (printing, labeling, inspection, bank encoding, or end-of-line packaging systems)
• Experience with PC-based control architectures using IP/Ethernet communication, rather than traditional PLC-based controls
• Experience mentoring or pairing with intermediate-level designers
• Comfortable providing remote engineering support to field service and commissioning teams
