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.
