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
