Mechanical Engineering Technician

Hello, I'm Anthony Chacon, Recruitment Advisor at FED ManuTech, specializing in engineering, technical and manufacturing positions.
I am currently recruiting for a Mechanical Engineering Technician to join a technology-driven company specializing in solutions for the optics and electronics sectors, located in Kirkland.

Mission

Your Role
In this role, you will work in an R&D environment, where your machining expertise and attention to detail will be used to develop high-precision tools, components and equipment.
Your responsibilities will include:
Operating manual machine tools, including manual lathes and milling machines.
Operating CNC equipment as required by projects.
Manufacturing and modifying high-precision components and tooling for optical and production applications.
Performing hands-on assembly, fitting and machining work.
Reading and interpreting technical drawings.
Creating or modifying technical drawings using SolidWorks.
Working closely with R&D, engineering and laboratory teams to develop solutions based on project requirements.
Performing precise hands-on work in different optical and electronic laboratory environments.
Following all safety procedures and requirements related to machine tool operation.
Working Conditions :
Permanent position in a technology-driven R&D environment.
Work focused primarily on precision, quality and tooling development, rather than high-volume production.
Multidisciplinary environment combining mechanical, optical and electronic applications.
Opportunity to leverage your machining expertise across a variety of technical projects.
Located in Kirkland, Montreal.

Your profile

Technical or university-level training in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Mechanics, Machining or a related field.
Hands-on experience as a Machinist, particularly with manual machine tools.
Strong experience operating a manual lathe and milling machine.
CNC machining experience is an asset.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings.
Experience using SolidWorks for technical drawings or design is a strong asset.
Highly detail-oriented, precise and comfortable performing hands-on precision work.
Strong problem-solving skills, autonomy and attention to quality.
Comfortable working in an R&D environment without high-volume production pressure.
Experienced machinists, including those later in their careers who are looking to bring their expertise into an R&D environment, are also encouraged to apply.
Interested?
Are you an experienced machinist looking to apply your expertise in an R&D environment, where precision and quality matter more than production speed?
I would be happy to speak with you about this opportunity.
