Mechanical Designer Co-op Student (May 2026)

About Us

At 4AG Robotics, we’re wired for solving tough problems - and mushroom harvesting with robots is about as tough as it gets. We solve the critical labour shortage for farms by building robots that pick, trim and pack mushrooms.

We are a team of builders that like to move fast and embrace the uncertain process of innovation - because every breakthrough comes with a few mistakes along the way. Our robots are already working on six of the world’s largest mushroom farms - and this is just the beginning.

If you love tech, thrive on innovation, and have a passion for building and bringing it to life in a commercial space, you’ll find your spot here. Join us and help reshape the future of farming with grit, brains, and a team that actually gets things done.

The Opportunity

Join 4AG Robotics for your next co‑op or internship term and help shape the future of agricultural automation. As part of our mechanical design team, you’ll contribute to developing and improving the robotic systems that power our mushroom harvesting technology. This is a hands‑on opportunity to gain real‑world experience in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment where your work has a direct impact on product innovation and performance.

  • Evaluate existing robotic products to identify opportunities for enhancement, optimization, and innovation.
  • Support the development of functional prototypes to test performance and validate design concepts.
  • Translate high‑level requirements into efficient and well‑defined subsystem designs.
  • Create clear, detailed product operational and safety procedures.
  • Gather and incorporate feedback from engineers, designers, and stakeholders to refine mechanical designs.
  • Assist in project planning and scheduling to ensure mechanical design tasks are completed on time.

What Success Looks Like

  • You take ownership of your work and deliver design solutions that improve reliability, performance, and safety.
  • You collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams, contributing ideas and constructive feedback.
  • You demonstrate a strong understanding of mechanical systems, applying both creative and analytical thinking.
  • You proactively seek out opportunities to learn new tools, technologies, and techniques.
  • You help advance the team’s mission to continually innovate and push the boundaries of agricultural automation.
  • What You Bring

  • Currently studying or have experience in Mechatronics Engineering or Mechanical Engineering .
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work closely with engineers, designers, and project managers.
  • A safety‑first mindset and attention to compliance with industry standards.
  • Excellent communication skills to share design concepts, challenges, and solutions.
  • A solutions‑focused approach and passion for continuous improvement.
  • Curiosity and drive to research and implement new ideas to enhance robotic systems.
  • Technical Skills You’ll Use and Grow

  • 3D CAD design and simulation (Onshape)
  • 3D printing and rapid prototyping
  • Machine shop tools and equipment (mills, lathes, saws, welders, etc.)
  • Pneumatic systems and actuator sizing
  • 2D drawings for manufacturing
  • Microsoft 365
  • Mechanism and linkage design for automation
  • Why This Role Matters

    At 4AG Robotics, we’re redefining what’s possible in agriculture through robotics, computer vision, and AI. The work you do will directly contribute to building reliable, efficient systems that make mushroom harvesting safer and more sustainable.

    We value our people and the innovation they bring.

    Competitive Benefits

  • Competitive pay : We offer competitive compensation, and depending on your experience, this position has a monthly salary range of $4,333 to $5,373 per month
  • Work‑life balance : Flexible environment focused on results, not timesheets.
  • Time to recharge : Paid vacation and statutory holidays.
  • Growth mindset : Ongoing learning and development encouraged year‑round.
  • Relocation support : Financial assistance available for students moving to Salmon Arm, BC, for the term.
  • What We Believe

    If you’re the type who likes to take chances, move at speed, and see your ideas come to life, you’ll feel right at home here. At 4AG, we’re not big on rules for the sake of rules - we’re rather trust you to make bold calls, keep it real with your team, and turn imagination into something game‑changing. This isn’t a place to play it safe; it’s a place to build, break, fix, and build again - while having a great time doing it.
