Job Opportunities at CERT Systems
Mechatronics Engineering Lead
Description
Who we are…
CERT Systems Inc (CERT) is on a mission to produce essential chemicals without fossil fuels. Our breakthrough route to convert captured CO2 into valuable fuels and chemical feedstocks means that we can help the planet avoid over 500 million tonnes of emissions by 2040.
Who YOU are…
You love to get hands-on to build devices that integrate mechanical, electrical, and software systems to solve engineering challenges. You love playing a lead role in the design and development of your projects. A start-up environment is exciting to you because you’ll be able to collaborate across disciplines with others to create and test a tangible product output. You are also mission-driven; you care about climate change, and you want to use your skills to help be part of a global solution.
What you’ll do day-to-day
- Lead the development and optimization of mechatronic systems, integrating mechanical, electrical, and control components to drive our CO2 electrolysis systems.
- Create 3D CAD models and schematics for electromechanical assemblies.
- Design and implement control algorithms for system automation.
- Lead the integration of hardware and software components, ensuring seamless functionality.
- Test, debug, and refine prototypes to meet performance specifications.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, to ensure project success.
- Prepare technical documentation, including specifications, test procedures, engineering documents, and standard operating procedures.
- Identify and resolve system issues during the development and operation phases.
- Support ongoing maintenance and improvements for existing systems.
- Stay updated on emerging technologies in mechatronics and automation.
- Propose innovative solutions to enhance system performance and reduce costs.
- Support meetings with internal/external collaborators as a technical subject matter expert, preparing presentations and reports as required.
- Work with a collaborative team to meet ambitious milestones.
Your Qualifications- Undergraduate or graduate degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 4+ years in mechatronics or system engineering.
- P.Eng is an asset.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) for mechanical design.
- Experience with LabView, PLC programming, and control systems.
- Familiarity with embedded systems and microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32).
- Knowledge of programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++).
- Strong understanding of sensors and instrumentation principles.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
