Our products meet the rigorous standards necessary for mission‑critical success and power the next‑generation embedded electronics that serve top defense contractors and aerospace leaders worldwide.

Position Overview

We are looking for a full‑time Engineer, Mechanical based in Aurora, Ontario (hybrid). Reporting to the Director, Engineering (THERM / MECH), you’ll play a mission‑critical role in building rugged, ultra‑efficient mechanical solutions that keep WOLF’s cutting‑edge embedded electronics cooled, protected, and ready for the world’s toughest defense and aerospace environments.

Responsibilities

• Design mission‑ready assemblies : Build mechanical models and structures in SolidWorks that withstand shock, vibration, and harsh‑environment requirements.
• Develop manufacturable solutions : Create detailed part and assembly drawings optimized for fabrication, machining, and DFM / DFA considerations.
• Validate thermal performance : Apply fundamentals of heat transfer, cooling strategies, and thermal interfaces to support high‑power electronics.
• Lead hands‑on troubleshooting : Diagnose mechanical issues, root‑cause failures, and refine designs to improve ruggedness and system reliability.
• Execute environmental testing : Run vibration, thermal, and qualification tests in the lab, capturing precise results and translating findings into design updates.
• Collaborate across engineering : Work closely with PCB, electrical, and product teams to align component placement, mechanical constraints, and system requirements.
• Support prototype development : Assist with concept builds, risk analysis, feasibility checks, and early‑stage validation activities.
• Own technical documentation : Produce clear, concise drawings, reports, and build documentation that guide internal teams, customers, and manufacturing partners.

Your Edge

You hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or mechatronics and bring 3+ years of hands‑on experience designing mechanical assemblies for complex electronic systems in aerospace, defense, or high‑reliability hardware environments. You have proven capability in 2D / 3D CAD design and a strong understanding of mechanical requirements that support high‑power embedded electronics.

Benefits

EEO & Eligibility

Applicants must be able to provide valid documentation to show Canadian or US citizenship or Canadian Permanent Residency and undergo a police check with no criminal background.
