Job Description

  

Mechanical Engineer – Advanced UAS & Sensor Systems
Join a Teledyne business designing mission‑critical technologies that support defence and public safety operations. Here, you’ll work on rugged, precision‑engineered products—from sensing devices to unmanned systems—used in demanding environments. If you enjoy turning concepts into manufacturable designs and collaborating across disciplines, this role offers the chance to make a real-world impact. You’ll balance hands-on design with analysis, prototyping, and production support in a fast-moving engineering team.
 
What you’ll do
  • Design plastic, metal, and multi-material components and assemblies using SolidWorks
  • Own and update master models and create manufacturing-ready 2D drawings
  • Build and test prototypes using rapid methods (e.g., 3D printing)
  • Perform engineering analyses (stress, thermal, airflow, loads) to guide decisions
  • Partner with electrical, manufacturing, quality, and reliability teams
  • Research and apply new technologies for unmanned systems (UAS)
  • Support verification activities, fixture design, and product testing
  • Drive design reviews and file release processes
  • Contribute to production troubleshooting and continuous improvement
     
What you need
  • Required: Strong SolidWorks skills (3D, assemblies, master models, drawings)
  • Required: Ability to work independently and apply prior learnings to new designs
  • Required: Knowledge of manufacturing methods (injection moulding, sheet metal, casting, welding)
  • Required: Experience performing engineering analyses and trade-offs
  • Required: Experience with prototype validation and product testing
  • Required: Ability to manage timelines, quality, and design releases
  • Advantage: Experience with UAS or ruggedised systems
  • Advantage: Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
     
What we offer
  • Work on mission-driven technologies with real-world impact
  • Exposure to complex, multi-disciplinary engineering challenges
  • Opportunities to collaborate across Teledyne’s global engineering teams
  • Hands-on involvement from concept through production
  • Stable environment with long-term product development cycles
     
What happens next Applications are reviewed by our recruiting team, followed by a recruiter screen and interviews with the hiring team. Timelines may vary.
Eligible to be certified under the Canadian Controlled Goods Program and legally authorized to work in Canada required.
