Mechanical Engineer

This is a unique engineering role where you are encouraged to work collaboratively, think
innovatively, and iterate frequently. This role suits an experienced hands-on builder, someone who is curious, and passionate about solving the ‘that can’t be done’ problems.

In this role, you will be directly responsible for leading key aspects of engineering R&D—
creating new products, mechanisms, molds, fixtures, through an iterative process. Working
closely with a cross-functional team, you will bridge the gap between creative design intent,
mechanical functionality, and production execution.

Key Responsibilities
• Concept Development & Innovation: Drive R&D in materials, hardgoods integration,
and novel construction processes.
• CAD & Mechanical Design: Utilize 3D CAD software to architect detailed designs,
models, and complex assemblies.
• Prototyping & Hands-On Fabrication: Test, evaluate, and validate design hypotheses
through proof-of-concept fabrication and assembly in our studio.
• Testing, Analysis & Iteration: Design and conduct empirical experiments to assess your
designs and materials under real-world conditions.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Partner with in house and client teams in an open,
team-oriented R&D environment to achieve unified design goals.
• Technical Documentation: Create clear documentation and technical specifications for
construction processes, assembly steps, BOMs, and manufacturing hand-offs as needed.
• Client Interaction: Preparation and presentation of concepts, designs and products to
clients.

Experience Required
FYi is looking beyond certifications and designations. What matters most is your process,
mindset and practical abilities to build.

• Experience: 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience.
• Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Design & Modelling: Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD. Assemblies, functional
mechanics and surfacing experience, an asset.
• Prototyping & Manufacturing: Hands-on lab skills (3D printing, hand tools). Knowledge
of machining, thermoforming, assembly is a strong asset.
• Mindset & Problem Solving: Proactive problem solver with an open mindset who thrives
in R&D cycles.
• Communication & Collaboration: Articulate communicator who excels in a feedbackrich, multidisciplinary team environment.

Compensation and Search Process
This role is based in Squamish, BC and performed solely on site. Compensation will be
dependent on experience and qualifications, starting at $140,000CAD (plus extended health
benefits), based on full-time employment (per British Columbia’s Employment Standards
Act ). Applicants must be willing to undergo a criminal record check.
