Key Responsibilities:

• Perform advanced engineering calculations to support mechanical system and equipment designs.
• Conduct finite element analysis (FEA), including structural, thermal, fatigue, vibration, and stability assessments.
• Develop analytical models and validate simulation results through hand calculations, testing, and data analysis.
• Establish design criteria, engineering assumptions, and safety factors for new product development.
• Prepare detailed engineering reports documenting methodologies, calculations, results, conclusions, and recommendations.
• Lead technical design reviews and provide recommendations for design optimization and continuous improvement.
• Evaluate designs for compliance with applicable engineering codes, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Investigate product failures, perform root cause analysis, and recommend corrective actions.
• Support prototype testing and correlate analytical predictions with test results.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to improve product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance as needed.
• Review and approve engineering calculations and technical analyses as delegated by the Engineering Manager.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience performing engineering analysis and validation in a manufacturing or product development environment.
• Proficiency with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software and engineering simulation tools.
• Strong knowledge of structural, thermal, fatigue, vibration, and failure analysis.
• Understanding of engineering standards, codes, and regulatory requirements.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and technical reporting skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting prototype testing and product validation.
• Knowledge of root cause analysis and reliability engineering.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or eligibility is considered an asset.
