Position Title: Mechanical Design Technologist - (CONTRACT)
Salary: $ 31.50- $38.50/hr
Position Status: New Position
Location: Ottawa, ON
Work Model: Onsite
Additional Notes:
For over 40 years, our Ottawa-based client has been a trusted leader in engineering and manufacturing, delivering innovative, high-quality solutions to clients across the globe. Located in the south end of Ottawa, the organization supports both military and commercial sectors through a comprehensive range of capabilities, including design, testing and evaluation, prototyping, product development, and large-scale manufacturing. With a strong reputation built on innovation, adaptability, and technical excellence, this is an opportunity to join a stable and highly respected organization backed by an experienced leadership team and a commitment to long-term success.

As a Mechanical Design Technologist, you will play a key role in the design, development, and execution of technically complex projects that support innovative products and systems. Working collaboratively with cross-functional teams, you will contribute technical expertise throughout the project lifecycle—from concept and design through to testing, implementation, and production. This role is ideal for a hands-on professional who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys solving technical challenges, and is motivated by contributing to meaningful projects serving both commercial and defense-related industries.

Responsibilities

Engineering Design & Development

Support the design, analysis, and development of mechanical and/or electrical systems in alignment with project and contract requirements.
Contribute to product development initiatives, ensuring designs meet technical specifications, applicable codes, and industry standards.
Prepare, review, and maintain engineering documentation, including drawings, specifications, layouts, and design concepts.
Perform engineering calculations, detailed design work, and technical analyses to support project execution.
Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) to accompany engineering drawings and documentation.
Participate in design reviews, provide technical expertise across projects, and contribute innovative ideas to improve product performance and functionality.

Project Coordination & Client Support

Assist in the planning and execution of engineering projects, ensuring timelines, schedules, and deliverables are achieved.
Participate in design and project meetings, collaborating cross-functionally to address technical challenges and ensure efficient problem resolution.
Prepare technical reports, presentations, and supporting documentation for ongoing projects and proposals.
Support proposal development and contribute technical input for client submissions.
Liaise with clients as required, maintaining accurate records of communications, project updates, and activities.
Ensure all engineering work, project documentation, and related activities are accurately recorded and maintained.

Compliance & Additional Responsibilities

Adhere to all environmental, health and safety regulations, as well as organizational quality and environmental management systems.
Travel occasionally as required to support project or client needs.
Perform other related duties as assigned.

The ideal candidate is an experienced and technically skilled engineering professional with a strong background in manufacturing environments and a passion for designing practical, high-quality solutions. With a minimum of six (6) years of experience in mechanical design, you bring hands-on expertise in electro-mechanical systems and a strong understanding of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles. You are highly proficient in both 2D and 3D CAD software—preferably AutoCAD and Inventor—and possess exceptional drafting capabilities. Backed by a Mechanical Technologist Diploma (or equivalent), you are confident interpreting engineering drawings and specifications while balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Equally important, you are a collaborative team player with strong communication skills, a detail-oriented mindset, and a proactive, analytical approach to problem-solving. You thrive working independently, take initiative, and enjoy contributing innovative ideas that support continuous improvement and project success.

What will make you stand out:

Advanced electro-mechanical design expertise, particularly in developing innovative solutions for complex manufacturing or engineered products.
Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and Inventor, with the ability to move efficiently from concept development to detailed technical drawings and production-ready designs.
Demonstrated experience applying DFMA principles, improving manufacturability, reducing costs, and enhancing product efficiency.
A proven ability to solve technical challenges creatively, while effectively managing multiple priorities and collaborating across engineering and production teams.
Open for contract work until end of 2026
Must be security clearance eligible.
