Machine learning engineer Jobs in Dollard-Des Ormeaux, QC

Reporting to the Electrical Engineering Manager, the Application Engineer acts as a design authority for electrical engineering discipline with low to medium complexity by specifying, selecting, and defining the electrical equipment associated to the design of excitation systems, gas turbine static starters and synchronizers. Completes assignments on small projects or portions of larger projects with assistance from a Senior Application Engineer, in a cost-effective manner and in accordance with contract specifications, ABB engineering practices, quality standards, safety requirements, ABB’s code of conduct and cybersecurity policies and standards.

This position focuses on the design aspects, hardware, and software of excitation systems for synchronous machines, static starters for gas turbines and synchronizers. It requires good overall understanding of the entire application in which this equipment is installed including the direct or indirect interaction with devices or subsystems such as transformers, switchgears, protection relays, control equipment etc. Knowledge of the operation of synchronous machines, control theory, and power electronics is required.

• Ensures engineering outputs meet safety, cybersecurity, and quality standards.
• Provides technical support for testing, installation, and commissioning activities.
• Evaluates, selects, and applies standard techniques and procedures to perform engineering assignments.

Customer & Sales Support

• Contributes to ‘safety-by-design principles’, and other key concepts as part of design freeze meetings.
• Participates in project meetings and resolves any outstanding technical issues to meet contractual obligations.
• Assists Sales with technical proposals, cost estimates, and presentations.

Knowledge Sharing & Quality Assurance

• Applies basic design thinking and national/international standards.
• Utilizes checklists to perform design verification according to engineering guidelines and processes.
• Contributes and shares experiences related to engineering design, tools, and processes.

Process & Risk Management

• Uses standard techniques, procedures, and tools within electrical scope of projects.
• Ensures compliance with safety, cybersecurity, and contract requirements.
• Identifies engineering opportunities and mitigates technical risks.

Contract & Project Control

• Prepares Bill of Materials (BoM) to meet contract and margin targets.
• Supports design change orders and variation requests.
• Follows project work plans for quality, cost, and schedule.

Supply Chain & Manufacturing

• Participates to RFQs preparation and evaluates supplier proposals.
• Collaborates with manufacturing/testing to ensure design integrity.
• Updates deliverables post-manufacturing and testing.

Commissioning & Service

• Supports installation and commissioning phases.
• Updates engineering documentation post-commissioning.
• Occasionally travels to collect site data for integration.

What it takes to run what runs the world

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 0 to 5 years of experience in electrical control system design, preferably in power plant environments.
• Knowledge of synchronous machines, power electronics, and plant topologies (MV/LV switchgear, transformers, converters, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with commissioning, installation, testing, and integration of electrical/control systems.
• Proficient in programming (Structured Text, Function Block, Ladder, Sequential Logic) and industrial protocols (Profibus, OPC, Modbus TCP/RTU).
• Demonstrates strong collaboration with cross-functional teams (PMs, supply chain, manufacturing, service) to ensure contract compliance, technical quality, and customer satisfaction.
• Ensures engineering deliverables meet safety, cybersecurity, and contractual standards; proactively addresses risks, changes, and compliance issues.
• OIQ membership required.
• Bilingualism (French & English) is an asset. French is required. English is also required to communicate with customers outside Quebec on a regular basis.
