This is not an IT systems or systems administration role. The focus is on hands-on, product-level systems design for physical products that combine hardware, embedded technology, and mechanical components.
What you will be doing:
You will work with a multidisciplinary engineering team to help define, design, integrate, and verify complex product systems.
Analyze product-level engineering problems and help determine the best technical approach
Translate requirements into practical system-level designs and specifications
Work across mechanical, electronics, firmware, and software teams to align technical solutions
Decompose larger engineering problems into subsystem-level design requirements
Assess design options for feasibility, risk, reliability, performance, scalability, and manufacturability
Support system architecture, interface definition, and technical trade-off decisions
Participate in prototype development, integration, troubleshooting, and design validation
Help identify risks and mitigation strategies during product development
Support technical documentation, including system-level design documentation, analysis, risk reviews, and technical reports
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers where appropriate
What you must have:
The ideal candidate has strong product development experience and can think beyond a single engineering discipline. You do not need to be an expert in every technical area, but you should be able to understand how decisions in one area affect the full product system.
10+ years of relevant engineering or product design experience
Experience with physical products involving electronics, firmware, software, and/or mechanical systems
Strong systems-level thinking and multidisciplinary design judgment
Deep expertise in at least one technical domain such as firmware, electronics, embedded systems, mechanical design, or mechatronics
Experience making technical trade-offs across multiple engineering disciplines
Ability to work closely with design, development, integration, and validation teams
Strong problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field
Nice to have:
The following would be considered assets:
Firmware or embedded systems experience
Electronics product development experience
Mechatronics or electro-mechanical design background
Battery-powered product experience
Motor control, sensors, control systems, or power management experience
Experience creating system-level design documentation
FMEA, risk analysis, verification, or validation experience
P.Eng. designation or willingness/eligibility to pursue registration
Experience mentoring or guiding junior engineers
Salary/Rate Range: $120,000–$140,000, depending on experience.
