Hybrid Mechanical Designer bei 4AG Robotics Inc.

The Opportunity

At 4AG Robotics, we’re transforming agriculture with robotics and automation that solve real-world challenges in food production. As a Mechanical Designer, you’ll play a key role in developing innovative systems that push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics. You’ll collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and technologists to design mechanical systems that are both practical and groundbreaking.

What You’ll Do

• Design mechanical components and assemblies for robotic systems, from concept through to production.
• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, drawings, and documentation for manufacturing.
• Perform tolerance analyses, material selection, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Work with suppliers and fabricators to ensure designs meet performance, quality, and cost requirements.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, software, and controls engineers to ensure seamless integration of subsystems.
• Support prototyping, testing, and iterative design improvements.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute creative solutions to technical challenges.

What Success Looks Like

• Robust, manufacturable designs delivered on schedule.
• Reduced iteration cycles through thoughtful design and collaboration.
• Clear, accurate documentation enabling smooth transitions to manufacturing.
• Designs that improve robot reliability, performance, and usability in real-world farm environments.

What You Bring

• A diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or related field.
• 4+ years of experience in mechanical design (robotics, automation, or machinery preferred).
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar).
• Strong understanding of GD&T, material properties, and manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, plastics, etc.).
• Experience with prototyping, testing, and hands-on problem solving.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.

Why This Role Matters

Our robots are solving one of the most pressing challenges in agriculture: the labour shortage in food production. By designing reliable, efficient mechanical systems, you’ll directly contribute to building sustainable food systems and ensuring farms around the world can thrive.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses 
• Access to extended health, dental and vision care, and an annual healthcare spending account 
• Professional development opportunities 
• Flexible work hours. We value your time. We support work-life integration that focuses on delivering results not completing a timesheet. We flex to get the job and life done. 
• Collaborative, fun, and innovative work environment 

What We believe

At 4AG Robotics, we embrace the fast pace of start-up life. Innovation drives us, and staying open to new ideas keeps us moving forward. We encourage healthy debate but always commit to moving forward as a team. We work hard, support each other fully, and value agility over bureaucracy. And yes, the freezer is always stocked with ice cream!
