Senior Mechanical Engineer

About Us  

AON3D is a venture capital-backed, Montréal-based additive manufacturing hardware, software, and materials company. Our solutions drive innovation for hundreds of businesses in 25+ countries worldwide, ranging from small businesses to multinational Fortune 500 corporations. 

Our mission is to create intelligent tools that automate and optimize the additive manufacturing process, enabling anyone to manufacture high performance parts, in any material, with the touch of a button.

About The Role  

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you’ll lead the design and development of the hardware systems in our next-generation 3D printers. You’ll architect, prototype, and validate critical subsystems (mechanical, thermal, kinematic, and electromechanical) that drive machine performance and reliability. This is a hands-on role with high impact: you’ll make key system decisions, mentor junior colleagues, and shape the future of industrial 3D printing.

What You Will Do  

• Lead the design, prototyping, and validation of mechanical and electromechanical systems.
• Architect subsystems for performance, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Guide and review the work of junior engineers.
• Drive product certification and compliance (CE, UL, CSA, etc.).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, user-friendly products.
• Stay ahead of additive manufacturing technology and push its capabilities further.

What We Are Looking For  

• Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or related engineering field.
• 5+ years of industry experience across the full product development cycle.
• SolidWorks (or similar 3D CAD) expertise.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical design, kinematics, and control systems.
• Familiarity with thermal systems, sensors, and controllers.
• OIQ/Professional Engineer designation.
• Experience with manufacturing methods for high-performance products.
• Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
• Experience with PLM/document control systems.
• Nice to Have:
  • 3D printing experience.
  • Knowledge of polymers and polymer chemistry.
  • Electronics or circuit design skills.
  • Programming experience (Python).
  • Industrial design exposure.
