Passion is put into what we do every day.\nPurpose of the Role:\nAs the Machine Structure Design Engineer, you will play a key role in the design and engineering of Svante’s commercial-scale carbon-capture machines, with a primary focus on structural elements used in large rotating and stationary equipment.\nYou will take engineering concepts through prototype and production design using CAD, engineering analysis, simulations, and physical testing. You will apply strong engineering fundamentals and structural design principles to develop reliable, manufacturable, and serviceable solutions while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and external vendors.\nThis position is ideal for an experienced mechanical or structural engineer who combines strong design and analytical capabilities with hands-on experience in CAD, FEA, structural design, manufacturing, and engineering documentation, and who is comfortable taking ownership of complex engineering challenges in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.\nRequired Skills and Qualifications:\nYou have a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline, along with 5-8 years of relevant experience in mechanical structures, machine design, or a similar engineering field.\nYou have excellent knowledge of metallic materials, structural design, manufacturing and joining techniques, along with a strong understanding of mechanics of materials, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.\nYou are a P.Eng. in British Columbia or eligible to apply for the designation, with knowledge of structural steel design codes such as CSA S16 and/or AISC 360.\nYou have demonstrated experience with FEA methods and limitations, as well as creating detailed 3D CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings, ideally using Creo.\nYou are a strong problem-solver and communicator who can self-manage priorities, take initiative, work independently, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and diverse stakeholders.\nWhat Success Looks Like in This Role:\nYou will consistently deliver high-quality engineering designs and structural analysis solutions within agreed timelines, requirements, and acceptance criteria.\nYou will evolve engineering concepts into prototype and production-ready designs using 3D CAD, FEA, simulations, and physical testing, ensuring designs meet applicable structural and engineering requirements.\nYou will develop engineering calculations, structural analyses, detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, and assembly documentation that clearly communicate design intent and support manufacturing, assembly, serviceability, and reliability.\nYou will apply sound engineering judgment to solve complex problems, interpret analysis and simulation results, and provide clear conclusions and recommendations while collaborating with Supply Chain and external vendors to support successful delivery.\nYou will contribute to the development of the engineering team by mentoring junior engineers and continuously strengthening expertise in Creo, PLM systems, FEA software, and the technologies used in Svante’s commercial-scale carbon-capture machines.\nEqual Employment Opportunity Statement\nSvante is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
