Full job description

Answer Precision Technologies (APT)

Answer Precision Technologies (APT) designs and builds precision checking fixtures, gauges, and custom tooling for high-tolerance manufacturing environments. Our work directly supports product quality — ensuring parts meet specifications before they ever reach the customer.

These are not off-the-shelf solutions. Every fixture and gauge is purpose-built, requiring designers who can interpret requirements, think critically about measurement strategy, and make sound engineering decisions.

If you enjoy precision, problem-solving, and seeing your designs directly impact quality on the shop floor, this role will fit well.

The Role

This is a mechanical design role focused on checking fixtures, gauges, and inspection tooling. Depending on your experience level, you’ll contribute to or lead designs from concept through release and build support.

You’ll work closely with sales, engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to translate part requirements into practical, repeatable measurement solutions.

This role requires attention to detail, strong understanding of part geometry, and the ability to make judgment calls that balance accuracy, usability, and cost.

What You’ll Work On

Design checking fixtures, gauges, and inspection tooling using Cimatron and/or SolidWorks
Interpret part drawings and GD&T requirements to develop effective measurement strategies
Create 3D models, detailed drawings, and complete BOMs for manufacturing
Ensure designs are practical for manufacturing, assembly, and repeatable use on the floor
Support builds by resolving design issues and incorporating feedback from assembly and quality teams
Participate in design reviews
Collaborate with customers, quality engineers, and manufacturing to ensure fixtures meet intent
Support in designing other projects, as needed. (Moulds, Automation, etc.)

What We Expect (Must-Have)

Solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T)
Experience with Cimatron and/or SolidWorks in a mechanical design environment
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
Strong attention to detail and commitment to design accuracy
Clear communication of design intent and decisions
A practical, problem-solving mindset — able to work through ambiguity
Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively

Nice to Have (Strong Assets)

Experience designing checking fixtures, gauges, or precision tooling
Knowledge of metrology principles and inspection processes
Familiarity with automotive or high-volume manufacturing environments
Hands-on shop floor or build experience
Knowledge of Designing for Manufacturing (DFM) principles
Experience working with CNC and Tool Makers

Why Engineers Stay at APT

Work that directly impacts product quality and manufacturing success
A collaborative team environment with high standards
Opportunities to grow from junior to senior through real project experience
A modern, well-equipped facility
Challenging, non-repetitive projects
Competitive pay
Company perks like free BBQ’s, event days, shirts provided, boot allowance
Full benefits and RRSP matching

Requirements

Authorized to work in Canada
Primarily an onsite role at our Kitchener location, must be able to commute on a daily basis
