About the role
Engineered to protect. We protect what matters - our nations, our waters, our land, our cities, our people, our environment, our world.
Join us.
It’s an exciting time for SEA as we expand our Canadian operations and team. We are currently looking for outstanding people to form the core of our growing team in Ottawa.
As our lead Mechanical Engineer, you will support the design, development and manufacture of highly engineered naval systems, working with technical, production and project teams in Canada and the UK. Work will include supporting the development of suppliers, participating in the design of products, designing specialist production and test equipment, mechanical design validation, troubleshooting production activities and contributing to in-service support.
What you’ll be doing
- Conduct assigned work packages, producing sound technical solutions that are well considered, defined, optimised and documented
- Provide the technical interface between the mechanical engineering and product teams in the UK, and production and project teams in Canada
- Work with the SEA Canada Supply Chain Manager ensure our suppliers have the systems, processes and capabilities to meet the design intent of our products
- Work with suppliers, SEA product management teams and design authorities to create component and material specifications that can be delivered by a Canadian Supply Chain
- Facilitate rapid problem resolution of parts quality issues working with suppliers and internal stakeholders
The experience and skills you need
- Mechanical engineering degree, ideally at Masters level
- Licensed Professional Engineer or pursuing licencing
- Experience in the development of technical documentation, including design specifications, test specifications and supporting documents for Manufacturing Data Packs
- The ability to review and accept Manufacturing Data Packs (completed design packages) prior to release to the Canadian production team
- The ability to identify and propose Canadian equivalents to British material specifications and standards including special processes such as welding and coatings
- Experience of SolidWorks, including simulation and finite element analysis, and MS Office suite.
- Experience in stress calculations to support design work, using a combination of first principles, design codes and finite element analysis will be a strong asset
- The ability to create, review and modify engineering designs using 3D CAD tools
- Experience in manufacturing and production engineering, ideally in shipbuilding and defence environments would be an asset
- A high level of accuracy and attention to detail
What we offer
We encourage innovation, flexibility and out-of-the-box thinking to solve problems, so we’re always looking for talented, flexible, and creative people to bring their best to SEA. In return we offer generous rewards, a fantastic work/life balance, and excellent career and training opportunities that include:
- Medical and dental benefits
- RRSP matching
- 20 days annual vacation
- Half day Fridays
- Flexible working arrangements
- All Staff bonus
Join us and be part of something smaller, doing something bigger: protecting what matters.
About Systems Engineering & Assessment Ltd
For over 60 years, SEA has delivered research, development, manufacturing, training, and support of complex maritime systems to the Royal Navy, international partners, and customers across the globe. We are also the UK’s leading provider of intelligent traffic management solutions, offering a range of enforcement technologies designed for supporting the demands of the current Traffic Management and Civil Enforcement Acts.
In the defence domain, we have applications in ship protection, agile-platform anti-submarine warfare and integrated underwater situational awareness. We manufacture and support a wide range of systems designed to provide a rapid response to threats, defend a fleet against attack, track and monitor targets, and ensure system effectiveness and interoperation. Our complex systems are in-service globally and provide agile solutions in nature’s most challenging environment.
In the traffic management domain, we supply high-integrity software and systems development for complex engineering environments. Our mobile, fixed and portable enforcement systems utilise modern 3D vehicle tracking software, visible and infra-red cameras, encrypted evidence pack data collection/handling and secure interfacing with a wide range of back-office equipment suppliers. Our systems and products support transport organisations such as TfL, Network Rail and UK councils.
Our systems are underpinned by robust research, training and simulation capabilities.
