Hands-on SolidWorks experience is required — 3D modeling, assemblies, technical drawings, and GD&T

Mechanical, mechatronics, or robotics engineering/technology background

Solid understanding of robotic arm kinematics and robot cell design

Experience with industrial robots or cobots (e.g., Kawasaki, Fairino, or similar) is an asset

Ability to read and produce wiring diagrams, schematics, and mechanical drawings

Experience designing fixtures, tooling, or custom automation equipment

Comfortable using industrial robot teach pendants is an asset

Experience with pneumatics and industrial I/O systems is an asset

Welding, fabrication, or machining experience is an asset

Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

Ability to work independently and as part of a small team

Strong communication skills

Ability to adapt and learn new robotic systems and technologies quickly

Requirements

Valid driver's license (for occasional site visits)

Ability to lift equipment and work in industrial environments

Ability to work safely around industrial equipment and follow safety procedures

Benefits & Perks

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits

Opportunities for professional development and training

Collaborative and innovative work environment with access to the latest automation technologies

Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Work Location: Delta, BC

Compensation: $90,000–$110,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and technical expertise.
