Position Overview:

This posting is for multiple openings (4 positions) within the team.

The Mechanical Engineer will be a key contributor in a team responsible for designing, building and operating mechanical systems in support of General Fusion’s LM26 project. The successful applicant will be expected to hit the ground running and thrive in a fast-paced and constantly evolving work environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Mechanical Engineer looking for diverse and challenging work where ideas quickly become the prototypes and machines used by General Fusion to develop practical fusion energy solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Mechanical design for complex engineering challenges which require out-of-the-box thinking and novel concepts, including analytical calculations and FEA as required to validate designs
• Conceive proof-of-concept prototypes and tests, build and operate test jigs, and analyze test results
• Design and install components that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of mechanical systems that are critical to project success
• Design, build, commission, and operate complete mechanical systems that are critical to the overall success of large integrated projects
• Document design details, test plans, and experimental results
• React quickly to changing requirements and unforeseen issues to ensure machine uptime
• Work with a team of engineers and technicians in the lab to ensure the on-time completion of project deliverables
• Work with partners and suppliers in the design of key systems and components, often sourcing components that push the limits of fabrication and availability
• Contribute to the growth of the team by actively participating in ideation, troubleshooting and problem-solving discussions

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or engineering physics (with mechanical specialization)
• Minimum 3 years’ experience in practical mechanical design and design implementation
• Strong knowledge of, and proven experience applying engineering and physics fundamentals, including statics and dynamics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
• Excellent mechanical aptitude with a strong desire to work hands-on with the components of the design, including prototyping, operating, analyzing, and iterating
• Experience creating prototypes and/or tests, and analyzing results, to prove out concepts
• Proven ability to work independently, take initiative, and drive the success of individual projects from start to finish, including collaboration and integration with other teams and systems
• Good understanding of materials and fabrication methods
• Good understanding of GD&T and the implications of tolerancing on parts and assemblies.
• Proven ability to pivot and identify opportunities to adjust scope and deliver in a rapidly changing work environment

Preferred:

• Registration with EGBC as an EIT or Professional Engineer, or on-track to complete registration
• Working knowledge of Solidworks and Solidworks PDM
• Experience designing components for use in harsh and demanding environments (such as high vacuum, high energy, high cleanliness), and for problems where there is little prior art or precedent to draw from

The typical hiring range for this position is $80,000 - $110,000 annually. General Fusion considers many factors when determining total compensation, including job-specific or highly specialized knowledge, skills and experience, proficiency, job location and internal equity.

What We Offer:

• RRSP Contribution
• Support for professional development
• Great company culture – social events, food trucks, bike rides, Sun Run, etc.

Applications:

We thank all applicants for their interest; only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

We welcome applicants with relevant engineering experience. Candidates who hold P.Eng or EIT credentials will be hired under the Engineer title. Those without these credentials will be assigned an equivalent title that matches the scope of their position.
