Headquartered in Montreal, Detroit and Munich, Vention helps manufacturers automate their operations in record time with the only hardware and software AI-powered platform built for the factory floor. Our technology powers over 25,000 machines across 4,000 factories across 5 continents and we have the privilege to work with a significant proportion of Fortune 500 manufacturers, from space rockets, to electrical cars, to robotics.

• Detailed Design Execution:
  Perform detailed mechanical design for custom automation systems. Translate scoping inputs into complete, production-ready designs using Vention's platform and third-party software suites (Solidworks)
• BOM Generation & Release:
  Generate accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) and release designs for production. Manage revision cycles and maintain design integrity throughout the project lifecycle.
• Project Documentation:
  Produce the full suite of project documentation required for production and customer handoff, including Assembly Sequence Diagrams (ASD), layout drawings, assembly instructions, and spare parts lists.
• Operations Work Packages:
  Create detailed operations work packages that enable the assembly team to build systems efficiently and to specification.
• Sourcing & Supplier Quoting:
  Coordinate final quoting with third-party suppliers for non-standard components, supporting the sourcing phase to ensure design intent is met within budget.
• Test Plan Design:
  Collaborate with project managers to design test plans for key subsystems, defining acceptance criteria and validation procedures ahead of the build and testing phases.
• Build & Test Support:
  Provide hands‑on technical support during assembly of sub-components, mechanical installation, electrical installation and testing. Serve as the design authority on the floor, resolving issues in real time.
• Design Problem Resolution:
  Own the design problem resolution process end-to-end, brainstorming solutions, implementing design changes, ordering replacement parts, and updating documentation to reflect the final configuration.
• Maintenance Documentation:
  Create comprehensive maintenance documentation to support customers in operating and servicing their systems post-delivery.
• Training & Feedback Loop to Pre‑Sales:
  Maintain a continuous feedback loop with Solution Architects and pre‑sales application engineers. Train pre‑sales application engineers on design best practices, common failure modes, and lessons learned from delivered projects.
• PLM Feedback Loop:
  Contribute structured feedback to the PLM process to drive improvements in standard components, assemblies, and design guidelines.

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electromechanical engineering.
• 3–5 years of relevant experience in industrial automation mechanical design, with direct exposure to custom system delivery (automated equipment, conveyors, actuators, structures, robotics, etc.).
• Proven ability to take a machine design from scoping inputs through to a released, production‑ready package.
• Strong knowledge of the industrial automation industry and the post‑sales project execution…
