Test and Automation Engineer

About Delta Intelligent Building Technologies (Canada) Inc.(formerly known as Delta Controls)

Delta Intelligent Building Technologies (Canada) Inc. (a subsidiary of Delta Electronics) is a leading building controls manufacturer with over 300 partners in more than 80 countries. For over three decades, we have provided innovative building automation solutions for commercial, healthcare, education, and leisure facilities. We delivered the world’s first fully integrated BACnet building solution for HVAC, lighting, and access control.

The Test and Automation team is a multi-disciplined group consisting of mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware designers. The team is responsible for creating and maintaining the testing infrastructure used in Manufacturing, as well as improving operational efficiency, reducing operator intervention, shortening test time, and improving yields through automated test fixtures and assembly line tools. The Test and Automation Engineer’s primary role is to design, fabricate, assemble, maintain, and improve the mechanical aspects of test jigs, fixtures, and manufacturing/assembly equipment—from initial concept to physical realization.

Although the role is primarily mechanical, the engineer must also possess solid knowledge of electrical systems, Python scripting, and embedded systems (conversational embedded understanding required; hands‑on programming experience an asset).

• Designing test jigs, fixtures, and automation equipment in Solid Works for PCBA test and manufacturing automation.
• Fabricating test jigs using CNC, 3D printers, and manual machining tools.
• Assembling and wiring test fixtures, including mechanical and electrical components.
• Duplication of existing test jigs as needed for expanded production capacity.
• Reviewing and providing feedback on electrical designs (Altium) produced by the team.
• Researching, selecting, and procuring mechanical and electro‑mechanical components.
• Assisting with programming and debugging of test jigs.
• Troubleshooting manufacturing issues involving test equipment, mechanics, pneumatics, wiring, or automated processes.

• Keeping the department workshop clean and organized, ensuring tools and equipment remain in good working condition.
• Monitoring and replenishing stock of common mechanical parts and consumables.
• Operating and maintaining FDM 3D printers; managing print queues and scheduling.
• Participating in continual improvement initiatives and root cause analysis investigations.
• Providing general testing and troubleshooting support for other teams when required.

• Strong proficiency in Solid Works or similar 3D CAD software.
• Solid knowledge of electrical circuits, PCB-level systems, and basic electrical troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of Python for scripting and automation tasks.
• Understanding of core microcontroller peripherals (GPIO, SPI, ADC, UART, etc.). Embedded programming experience is an asset.
• CNC and milling experience are a strong asset.
• Familiarity with common electrical lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, DAQs).
• Strong technical aptitude and motivation to learn across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Experience with factory automation equipment (conveyors, robotics, machine vision, pneumatics) is a strong asset.

• Mechatronics degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 4 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with demonstrable hands‑on skills.
• Solid understanding of electrical systems and basic circuit principles.
