Key Responsibilities Engineering Design & Development Design FRP exhaust fan systems and pollution control equipment based on building mechanical drawings, project specifications, and quotation documentation. Design perchloric acid laboratory exhaust systems with FRP construction and integrated washdown systems. Develop detailed 3D models, assemblies, and fabrication drawings using SolidWorks. Produce accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) aligned with design and manufacturing requirements. Update designs based on customer feedback, testing results, and engineering changes. Testing & Validation Perform fan airflow testing on AMCA-certified test chambers to evaluate fan efficiency, airflow volume, and static pressure. Ensure compliance with AMCA 210 laboratory methods of testing for fans for certified aerodynamic performance rating. Analyze test data and incorporate results into design improvements. Simulation & Analysis Conduct SolidWorks Flow Simulation, including: Rotating reference frames Tangential faces and rotor modeling Parametric studies Goal-based optimization Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA), including load transfer analysis of composite materials and structures. Composite Materials & Manufacturing Support Apply extensive knowledge of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) manufacturing, including: Material properties and tolerances Layup techniques and mat sequence Curing processes and quality considerations Collaborate closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are practical, efficient, and manufacturable. Provide technical support during fabrication, assembly, and quality control processes. Software & Automation Develop and utilize Python-based tools for engineering calculations, data processing, automation, or design support where applicable. Project & Team Collaboration Maintain organized project documentation, drawings, and design records. Manage multiple engineering tasks while meeting project timelines. Collaborate with engineering, sales, and manufacturing teams to resolve technical challenges and deliver projects successfully. Required Qualifications Bachelor''s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline from a Canadian university. Minimum 2 years of handson experience in each of the following areas: AMCA fan airflow testing and performance evaluation (AMCA 210 compliance). SolidWorks Flow Simulation for rotating equipment and parametric optimization. FEA load transfer analysis of composite materials. Fiberglass (FRP) manufacturing techniques, materials, tolerances, and curing processes. Python programming applied to engineering workflows. Design of industrial or laboratory FRP exhaust fan systems. Design of perchloric laboratory exhaust systems with integrated washdown. Preferred Qualifications Experience with industrial ventilation, HVAC, and air handling equipment. Strong understanding of machined parts, sheet metal fabrication, and composite structures. Experience working in a regulated laboratory or industrial environment. Eligibility for P.Eng (PEO) licensing is an asset. Familiarity with relevant industry standards (AMCA, ASHRAE, CSA). Skills & Attributes Strong analytical and problemsolving skills. High attention to detail and engineering accuracy. Ability to manage complex, multidisciplinary engineering tasks. Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Selfmotivated, organized, and technically driven. Benefits Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
