Mechanical Design & Engineering
  • Design and support development of automated equipment for industrial and nuclear applications.
  • Perform engineering calculations including strength of materials, speeds, horsepower, temperature, pressure, and force.
  • Interpret engineering drawings and specifications to determine dimensions, hardness, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Define tools, fixtures, and equipment needed for fabrication and assembly of mechanical components and full assemblies.
  • Produce working drawings, detail drawings, and BOMs using AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS.
  • Specify mechanical components and generate requisitions with proper delivery timelines.
  • Evaluate designs for compliance with applicable standards (OSHA, CE, or customer-specific).
  • Adhere strictly to ASME NQA-1 quality requirements and associated procedures.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Review electrical requirements with electrical designers.
  • Review machine operations and sequences with programming teams.
  • Assist fabricators, machinists, toolmakers, and electricians during debug, integration, and problem resolution.
  • Communicate design updates to the Mechanical Engineering Group Lead or Project Engineer.
  • Provide support for Group Leader duties during their absence.
Nuclear Engineering Expertise
  • Serve as a subject matter expert for nuclear initiatives (e.g., BWRs, PWRs, SMRs).
  • Provide technical guidance to engineering and design teams.
  • Participate in design reviews and develop solutions to complex technical challenges.
  • Support conceptual design, development, and testing for innovation-driven initiatives.
  • Provide engineering support relating to construction of nuclear equipment in accordance with applicable standards.
Applications & Proposal Support
  • Prepare concept designs and preliminary pricing for nuclear proposals.
Program Development & Quality Assurance
  • Interpret and apply nuclear industry standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Ensure engineering procedures comply with nuclear-specific regulatory expectations.
  • Translate quality objectives into engineering policies and protocols.
  • Support development of a Nuclear Quality Assurance process to manage nuclear projects.
Qualifications:
Education
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or related discipline.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license is an asset.
Experience
  • 10+ years in engineering design, development, and qualification of automated systems, custom machinery, or industrial equipment.
  • 5+ years in nuclear tooling development and testing, including field support (required).
  • Strong understanding of nuclear equipment quality standards (NQA-1, ASME BPV Section III).
  • Deep knowledge of machine design, machine controls, precision engineering, statistical analysis, and structured problem solving.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to lead or collaborate within multidisciplinary teams.
