Machine Structure Design Engineer
About The Position
Svante is a rapidly growing clean energy technology company making commercial-scale carbon capture and removal a reality and enabling global industries to play offense in the fight against climate change that will accelerate the global transition to a lower-carbon economy. The growing success of our company is owed to our commitment to our people, our emphasis on our values, and our innovative technology. Passion is put into what we do every day. As the Machine Structure Design Engineer, you will play a key role in the design and engineering of Svante’s commercial-scale carbon-capture machines, with a primary focus on structural elements used in large rotating and stationary equipment. You will take engineering concepts through prototype and production design using CAD, engineering analysis, simulations, and physical testing. You will apply strong engineering fundamentals and structural design principles to develop reliable, manufacturable, and serviceable solutions while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and external vendors. This position is ideal for an experienced mechanical or structural engineer who combines strong design and analytical capabilities with hands-on experience in CAD, FEA, structural design, manufacturing, and engineering documentation, and who is comfortable taking ownership of complex engineering challenges in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 5–8 years of relevant experience in mechanical structures, machine design, or a similar engineering field.
- Excellent knowledge of metallic materials, structural design, manufacturing and joining techniques.
- Strong understanding of mechanics of materials, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.
- P.Eng. in British Columbia or eligible to apply for the designation.
- Knowledge of structural steel design codes such as CSA S16 and/or AISC 360.
- Demonstrated experience with FEA methods and limitations.
- Experience creating detailed 3D CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings, ideally using Creo.
- Strong problem-solver and communicator.
- Ability to self-manage priorities, take initiative, work independently, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and diverse stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Deliver high-quality engineering designs and structural analysis solutions within agreed timelines, requirements, and acceptance criteria.
- Evolve engineering concepts into prototype and production-ready designs using 3D CAD, FEA, simulations, and physical testing, ensuring designs meet applicable structural and engineering requirements.
- Develop engineering calculations, structural analyses, detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, and assembly documentation that clearly communicate design intent and support manufacturing, assembly, serviceability, and reliability.
- Apply sound engineering judgment to solve complex problems, interpret analysis and simulation results, and provide clear conclusions and recommendations.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain and external vendors to support successful delivery.
- Contribute to the development of the engineering team by mentoring junior engineers and continuously strengthening expertise in Creo, PLM systems, FEA software, and the technologies used in Svante’s commercial-scale carbon-capture machines.
