Mechatronics E.I.T.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have a passion for industry-changing solutions with significant social, economic, and environmental impact
• Want to grow your career at a growth-stage startup where you’ll get real responsibility early
• Enjoy hands-on work and learning from experienced engineers, technicians, and trades
• Are committed to continuous learning at the intersection of several industries

What you'll do:

• Support the deployment and launch of new manufacturing facilities, helping build and track deployment plans, schedules, and site readiness activities from site preparation through commissioning, production ramp-up, and operational handoff.

• Assist with technical facility feasibility assessments by gathering information on building infrastructure, utilities, structural capacity, layout constraints, and regulatory requirements.

• Help define facility utility requirements and support the sizing, specification, procurement, and installation of manufacturing infrastructure, including compressed air, electrical systems, dust collection, ventilation, material handling equipment, and production machinery.

• Support facility modifications and infrastructure upgrades through day-to-day coordination with contractors, engineering consultants, utility providers, and local trades.

• Prepare technical specifications, RFP inputs, and procurement documentation, and support equipment purchasing, order tracking, shipment coordination, and receiving.

• Support the Industrial Engineer in developing production layouts, material flow, and operational workflows that improve safety, throughput, and manufacturing efficiency.

• Take a hands-on role in mechanical and electrical equipment installation, startup, commissioning, and validation, helping ensure systems meet safety, quality, and performance requirements before operational handoff.

• Work with cross-functional teams - Engineering, Automation, Robotics, Operations, Safety, IT, and Supply Chain - as well as contractors and vendors to keep deployment activities on track.

• Act as a point of contact for equipment suppliers, machine builders, contractors, and service providers on assigned tasks.

• Create and maintain technical documentation, including machine manuals, work instructions, commissioning records, training materials, and equipment acceptance records.

• Track launch performance using key operational metrics, help identify technical and operational gaps, and support corrective actions during ramp-up.

• Support CMMS rollout and adoption, including setting up equipment records and preventive maintenance schedules.

• Help capture lessons learned and contribute to standardized deployment playbooks, commissioning procedures, and best practices for future factory deployments.

• Travel domestically and internationally as required to support factory deployments, commissioning activities, vendor engagements, and equipment acceptance.

• Perform other duties as assigned.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics), completed or completing before the start date.

• 0-2 years of experience; co-op, internship, capstone, and student design team experience all count.

• Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly and/or wiring of machine components, whether from school, work terms, or personal projects.

• Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.

• Strong attention to detail in documentation, and a willingness to learn specification writing and process control.

• Hands-on attitude, good organizational skills, and a clear communication style.

• Ability to juggle multiple tasks and priorities, and to ask for help when needed.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where scope evolves.

• The ability to regularly lift and/or move up to 30 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.

• The ability to travel internationally up to 30% of the time.

• A relentless pursuit of learning and growing in the rapidly changing world of industrial automation.

Nice to Have:

• Co-op or internship experience in a manufacturing plant, construction site, or equipment installation setting.

• Exposure to working with trades, contractors, or equipment vendors.

• Familiarity with CMMS systems - experience with Limble is a plus.

• Exposure to PLCs, industrial controls, pneumatics, or robotics.

• Experience with 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) and/or AutoCAD.

• Eligible for Engineer-in-Training (EIT) registration with APEGA.
