Full Job Description
We are seeking a Design Engineer to support the development, improvement and customisation of Bradken's mining equipment product lines, with a primary focus on Crawler Systems for electric rope shovels and hydraulic excavators.

This is a hands-on mechanical design role suited to someone who enjoys detailed engineering work, product problem-solving and seeing designs move from concept through to manufacture and field use.

About the role

You will work across product design, reverse engineering, modelling, drafting, simulation and technical documentation.

With strong design judgement and practical problem-solving skills, you will support new product development, product updates and customer-specific designs across Crawler Systems, Buckets, Ground Engaging Tools and other mining products.

You will:
• Create and update 3D models, detailed drawings and design documentation.
• Support reverse engineering, product improvements and new concept design.
• Complete analysis, simulation and technical checks to support safe, reliable product design.
• Work with Manufacturing and Supply Chain to ensure designs can be built, supplied and supported effectively.
• Support field evaluations and product reviews through site and manufacturing visits when required.
• Capture product data, specifications and design changes in Bradken's Product Lifecycle Management system.
• Provide technical input to internal teams on product performance, design intent and manufacturability.
• Contribute to quality, safety and continuous improvement across engineering activities.

This role is primarily office or shop-based, with some travel to customer and manufacturing sites. Travel is expected to be around 10-20%.

About you

You will bring:
  • A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Experience in mechanical design, product design, reliability engineering or product development.
  • Experience in mining equipment, construction equipment, heavy manufacturing or a similar industrial environment.
  • Strong capability in 3D CAD, detailed drafting and engineering analysis.
  • Experience working with manufactured products, design changes and technical documentation.
  • Ability to work with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and commercial teams.
  • A current driver's licence and ability to travel locally and regionally.
  • Spanish language capability is highly preferred, and French language capability would be advantageous.

Experience with Siemens NX, ANSYS, Siemens Teamcenter PLM or 3D scanning will be highly regarded.

Knowledge of surface mining equipment, crawler systems, manufacturing processes, ISO 9001, mine site requirements and MSHA or relevant regional mine hazard training will also be valued.

Applicants must currently hold full, unrestricted work authorisation in Canada. Bradken is unable to support work permit, LMIA or employer-sponsored immigration processes for this role.

This role includes a salary range in accordance with Ontario pay transparency legislation.
