Original job description

Mechanical Design Engineer – Halifax, Nova Scotia | Space Technology | CAD $80,000–$110,000

Want to see the parts you design end up in space hardware? A growing space technology company in Halifax, Nova Scotia is hiring a Mechanical Design Engineer to join its engineering team.

This is a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer role for someone early to mid-career. You don’t need to hit the ground running. You need solid fundamentals and a real interest in building things.

What you’ll do as a Mechanical Design Engineer

Develop 3D CAD design using SolidWorks.
Support the full development lifecycle including testing, simulation, analysis.
Design custom parts such as brackets and enclosures in aluminium / sheet metal.
Produce clear, CNC-ready drawings that go straight to manufacture.
Work closely with electrical, embedded and systems engineers on flight hardware

What you’ll bring

CAD and 3D modelling experience, ideally using SolidWorks or similar.
Tolerancing and solid mechanical design fundamentals
Simulation of quasi-static and vibration loading
A bonus: thermal simulation, or hands-on prototyping or workshop experience

You don’t need an aerospace background. Experience from a smaller engineering firm, a consultancy or a prototyping-heavy environment fits this role well.

What’s on offer

CAD $80,000–$110,000, depending on experience
Full-time, permanent Mechanical Design Engineer role in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Fast, simple hiring: a short online screener, then one or two conversations with the CEO

If you’re a Mechanical Design Engineer in Halifax or elsewhere in Nova Scotia, apply now or message me directly for a confidential chat.
