Job description

Our Mechanical Equipment Development Branch is looking for a Mechanical Engineer!INTRO
The Mechanical Equipment Development Branch (MED) works to enable our customers to overcome their biggest challenges through the design, development, and delivery of equipment, tooling, and technologies for low-access, high-radiation environments. We strive to be the premiere nuclear design organization, solving unique industry challenges by delivering timely, right-sized, customer-focused solutions.
Working as part of a multi-discipline team, you will lead the design and development of equipment, tooling, and technologies for low-access, high-radiation environments. Using your knowledge of the engineering design process, solid mechanics, properties of materials, heat transfer, fluid flow, sensors, mechanisms, machine components, traditional and advanced manufacturing techniques, and modeling, you will take responsibility for the design and delivery of equipment and tooling right from assessing customer needs, through conceptualization and prototyping, to detailed design, delivery, and field-support. Additionally, you will mentor and/or direct the work of other junior mechanical engineers and technical staff.What will you be doing!

• Take responsibility for the overall design of major components, systems, or sub-systems.
• Take responsibility for the adequacy of drawings and other engineering documents, as well as the work of those you supervise.
• Develop design requirements and define critical characteristics using engineering judgement, industry best practices, codes and standards, and input from subject matter experts and customers.
• Lead or participate in team meetings and design reviews.
• Generate design ideas based on experience, input from other subject matter experts, as well as your own area of expertise.
• Prepare test plans, test reports, and test record sheets to demonstrate compliance with design requirements.
• Guide the work of Mechanical Laboratory Technicians and other Mechanical Engineers in test execution.
• Help conceptualize component prototypes, testing mock-ups.
• Plan large design projects and report on progress.
• Participate in preparing commercial proposals.
• Act as a mentor to more junior engineering and technical staff.
• Give presentations to customers and contribute to technical journals when appropriate.
• Other duties as assigned by your manager.

What we are looking for :
7-12 years of mechanical engineering experience and are a Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario or are eligible for licensure. Experience in solving and understanding design problems which push the boundaries of traditional mechanical engineering is an asset – you must be comfortable thriving at the edge of your understanding, while simultaneously working to expand your knowledge.
Undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. An advanced degree in engineering (MASc or PhD) is considered an asset.
You have:

• A desire to innovate.
• The ability to learn, adapt, and pivot as new information is discovered or becomes available.
• Demonstrated expertise within a specific area or field of study related to design and development, or you possess a broad scientific and engineering background.
• The ability to evaluate the fitness of a component to meet design intent through the application of solid mechanics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, etc.
• The ability to read, understand, and take professional responsibility for engineering drawings.
• The ability to lead multi-discipline teams or sub-teams to meet prescribed outcomes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• General computer literacy in word processing and a high degree of expertise with spreadsheet software.
• Knowledge of technologies outside of traditional mechanical design would be an asset as would experience in robotics, automation, and remote tooling.

You understand:

• The design and development process.
• Development strategies to learn quickly and advance and optimize designs.
• Advanced machine design practices, machine components, strength of materials, and design for manufacturing techniques.
• Sensors, transducers, hydraulics, and pneumatics, where and when to utilize them, and the limitations and underlying phenomena of each.
• Application of codes, standards, and industry best-practices.
• Knowledge of the effect of the different types of radiation on the engineering performance of materials is an asset, but not required.
• How to manage, identify, and systematically eliminate technical risk through the use of engineering best practices.
