About DarkVision Technologies Inc.

DarkVision is a Vancouver-based tech company that has been disrupting the industrial imaging market since 2013. We have created the world’s most advanced acoustic-based imaging platform, revolutionizing how our clients quantify and visualize the integrity of their critical assets.

Backed by Blackstone, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, DarkVision’s team of Software, Mechanical, and Machine Learning Engineers and Data Analysts is rapidly expanding to meet the demand for the company’s current and upcoming products.

Our employees work on cutting-edge technologies that blend science with real-world applications. We invite you to join our team for the exciting journey ahead as we become the global leader in industrial imaging.

Role Overview

DarkVision is seeking a talented Mechanical Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of our state-of-the-art ultrasonic imaging technologies. This role presents an exciting opportunity to tackle unprecedented engineering problems where a first principles approach is essential for developing robust solutions.

Unique design challenges arise as we integrate our custom, high-resolution sensor assembles into products that must withstand some of the harshest conditions found in industry, including pressures up to 15,000 psi and temperatures reaching 150° C. As such, this role demands someone who is highly proficient in applying mechanical engineering principles to challenging problems, and also eager to learn and adopt the innovative techniques that DarkVision has mastered over the years.

The successful candidate will engage with every phase of the design process, from ideation through to scaled manufacturing handoff.

This is an on-site regular full-time position in our HQ in North Vancouver, BC, where employees enjoy full access to our facility amenities including a well-equipped gym, squash court, climbing wall, steam room, and more!

Our Team

If it moves, needs to survive extreme conditions, protects delicate electronics, or has specific material properties, the Mechanical Team will be involved. We’re collaborative, curious, and encourage taking big swings. We work closely with other engineering teams to produce thoughtful, innovative solutions to problems that don’t always have a clear answer.

What You Will Do

• Carry out detailed design of mechanical parts and assemblies for use in our products, including electronics packaging, pressure vessel design, sensor carriers, dynamic structural elements, and fluid handling systems
• Perform engineering calculations to assess system viability and performance of a system, including the use of numerical tools such as FEA
• Collaborate with external contract manufacturers to source both custom and off-the-shelf components
• Assemble prototypes of new products or improvements to existing products, and support their testing, troubleshooting, and validation
• Determine testing requirements for new devices or components, and design custom test equipment, including for accelerated life testing
• Collaborate with the broader engineering teams to gather cross-functional design requirements and communicate design interdependencies and tradeoffs
• Occasionally travel to our field offices to support final testing and commissioning of devices prior to commercial deployment

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• University degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or Engineering Physics
• At least 2 years of experience as a mechanical design engineer
• Professional experience in creating 3D models and assemblies using CAD software such as Inventor, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Creo
• Experience designing electromechanical assemblies, such as electronics packaging and thermal management systems
• Experience creating appropriately toleranced 2D drawings to outsource custom parts fabrication
• Experience interfacing with external vendors to procure custom parts
• Hands-on experience with assembling and testing prototypes

What Will Put You Ahead

• 5+ years of experience as a mechanical design engineer
• Experience designing enclosures for sensitive electronics to withstand shock and vibration
• Experience with the design of high pressure and temperature systems
• Experience designing sealing solutions for various applications, including the use of mechanical seals and gaskets
• Understands the design considerations for various manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, 3D printing, and laser/waterjet cutting
• Experience with basic microcontroller programming (Arduino, etc.) to aid in rapid prototyping
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, or other technical programming languages for data processing and analysis

General Salary Range

For this role, we anticipate paying $80,000 to $110,000 per year. This role is eligible for variable pay, issued as a monetary bonus or in another form.
