The Senior Mechanical Engineer, is responsible for leading and supporting projects from concept through completion, driving them forward with minimal oversight while proactively identifying and resolving obstacles along the way.

This role demands strong communication skills, as the Senior Mechanical Engineer regularly interfaces with cross-functional teams, clients, and stakeholders to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable information. Backed by deep technical expertise across mechanical design, analysis, and manufacturing principles, they serve as a go-to resource for solving challenging engineering problems and mentoring less experienced team members.

Ultimately, this role combines hands‑on technical mastery with the leadership and accountability needed to deliver high‑quality projects on time and within scope. This position reports to the Director of Operations.

• Assists to steer the mechanical direction of projects in collaboration with input from the applications engineer, project manager, and the cross-functional operations team.
• Liaise directly with customers to understand their needs - both commercial and technical.
• Provide clarity of communication and tailor the level of detail and framing of technical information to the audience — internal teams, executives, and customers.
• Assists to identify the functional requirements of the project with the cross-functional technical team and customer and ensure the design solution meets the requirements.

• Drive problem solving and managing challenges, issues, and risks while applying sound judgement and assertive objective decision making - during design, build, and commissioning stages.
• Perform engineering calculations to validate functionality, component sizing, speeds / rates, failure modes, etc. to ensure the designed solution will be feasible, robust, and reliable.
• Produce 2D assembly and manufacturing drawings, pneumatic schematics, and assist with required deliverable documentation.
• Responsible for the mechanical BOM including vendor and material selection with SCM, DFMA review with build, identification of long-lead items, and adherence to mechanical budgets.
• Provide support (at times being hands on), during the manufacturing and build stages including troubleshooting, problem solving, and debugging to overcome any issues or challenges.
• Mentor and coach other mechanical resources to build technical capability across the team and develop the next generation of mechanical leads.
