Job description

The Hacksmith team is made up of outside-the-box thinkers who take fictional ideas from comics, movies, and video games and make real working prototypes. We make Viral Videos of our creations on YouTube, and in doing so make dreams a reality by building real life superhero tech; as seen in our channel trailer! We take pride in inspiring youth around the world to get into STEM and other related fields, while always dreaming bigger.

We are looking for a passionate, self motivated individual who can identify problems and solve them independently. There will be ample opportunity to take on greater responsibility, overcome challenges, and meaningfully contribute to the team.

About the Role

Hacksmith Industries is seeking a Process Engineer to support and scale production of the Smith Blade . This role is responsible for designing, optimizing, and standardizing assembly workflows, kitting processes, quality checks, and production systems to enable efficient, repeatable, and high-quality output.

The ideal candidate is hands‑on, systems‑oriented, and comfortable working directly on the production floor to improve throughput, reduce errors, and support the transition from early production to sustained volume manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

Assembly Process Development

  • Design, document, and optimize end-to-end assembly processes
  • Develop standard work instructions, visual aids, and assembly documentation
  • Improve takt time, line balancing, and work cell layouts
  • Support scaling from pilot builds to steady‑state production

Quality & Error Reduction

  • Implement in‑process quality checks and poka‑yoke (error‑proofing) solutions
  • Identify root causes of assembly defects and drive corrective actions
  • Reduce rework, scrap, and warranty risk through process improvements
  • Support final inspection and packaging quality standards
  • Production Optimization

  • Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in assembly, finishing, inspection, and packaging
  • Improve throughput while maintaining quality and ergonomics
  • Design assembly fixtures, jigs, and aids to improve consistency and ergonomics
  • Work with internal teams or vendors to implement fixtures and tooling
  • Evaluate assembly tooling effectiveness and recommend improvements
  • Data & Reporting

  • Track assembly metrics such as :
  • Throughput
  • Rework rates
  • Assembly time per unit
  • Use data to justify process changes and capacity planning decisions
  • Qualifications & Experience

  • Degree or diploma in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years experience in assembly‑focused process engineering or production engineering
  • Strong understanding of manual and semi‑automated assembly systems
  • Experience with lean manufacturing principles in an assembly environment
  • Comfortable working hands‑on on a production floor
  • Nice‑to‑Have

  • Experience with precision mechanical assemblies
  • Experience scaling assembly operations in a startup or high‑growth manufacturing environment
  • Familiarity with quality systems and inspection methods
  • Experience with ERP or manufacturing execution systems (MES)
  • Exposure to light automation or assisted assembly systems
  • Perks of working at Hacksmith

  • Gourmet lunch every work day (we have a very skilled chef on staff)
  • Snacks and coffee to keep you fueled
  • Competitive vacation policy
  • Health Spending Account (HSA)
  • You must be legally allowed to work in Canada and be local or willing to relocate. This role is based in Cambridge, Ontario and telecommuting is not an option.
