Responsibilities Based in Mississauga, for over forty years our company, an industry-leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality consumer electronics products, has set the standard for excellence in every product category we offer. Our focus is on providing the best in performance and Luxury/Value, while continually pushing the upper boundaries in design and quality.

Mechanical Design Engineer / Product Design Engineer: We are looking for a seasoned professional to work in our Mechanical Design wing. Working in close collaboration with industrial designers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and even software developers, you will play a key role in creating mechanical design for products that last, with particular emphasis on quality and user experience. Your responsibilities will include:

Define the look and feel or new products.

Create designs for manufacturability and assembly.

Optimize internal product layout for best mechanical and thermal performance.

Qualify vendors and manage vendors through the part RFQ process.

Validate engineering samples receivables.

Work with Production, Supply Chain and Quality teams to ensure smooth implementation of designs in production, continuous improvement and post-release support of products.

Participate in Project Management activities: write requirements and specifications documents, parts and subsystems validation protocols, work with the PM to define the scope of work, decompose and create estimations for tasks and deliverables.

Assign tasks and evaluates work of junior members of the mechanical team.

About you:

Experience designing consumer electronics and/or power electronics products.

Graduate in mechanical engineering, industrial design or an equivalent.

Expert in Solidworks.

Knowledge of advanced Solidworks Pro/Premium features (Cable routing, Wire harness design, Advanced Surface Flattening, Static analysis, Tolerance Stack-up Analysis) would be a strong asset.

DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) guru.

Experience in thermal / heat transfer analysis through FEA and experimenting.

Methodological approach to work.

You can define and build prototypes, plan experiments and analyze results to resolve ambiguities.

You produce quality, readable drawings for production and quality control. GD&T and ASME Y14.5 are your life partners

Your previous designs contained parts made of different materials, fabricated by different techniques and maybe even coming from different suppliers.

Experience working with external suppliers (local and overseas) is a strong asset.

You understand the behavior of different materials and practical limitations of fabrication techniques (sheet metal, casting, extrusion, injection molding, CNC) and optimize designs accordingly.

Experience supervising junior team members or leading a small team would be an asset.

Experience working in multidisciplinary teams would be a strong asset.

You are a strong communicator and are not shy to raise flags when things go wrong. Stay assured you'll receive proper credits for work once things are sorted out.

Understanding of the product development process and of the project management techniques is a strong asset.
