Water Slide Product Designer

Proslide Technology • Ottawa, ON

19d • Onsite

About The Position

Join ProSlide’s Product Development Team in a highly technical, hands-on product design role focused on the development of complex 3D surface geometry for large-scale fiberglass (FRP) water ride systems. This position is centered on advanced CAD surface modeling and manufacturable design, with responsibility for translating complex ride geometries into production-ready components that meet performance, safety, and fabrication requirements. This position requires strong surface modeling expertise and a deep understanding of how designs are built in the real world. Your work will directly contribute to attractions enjoyed by millions of guests worldwide, with real-world impact on safety, performance, and guest experience. This is an in-office position, located at our head office in Ottawa, ON.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in product design with a strong focus on 3D CAD surface modeling.
• Advanced proficiency in SOLIDWORKS surfacing tools (or equivalent CAD surfacing platforms).
• Ability to use AutoCAD and knowledge of blocks.
• Demonstrated experience creating complex, non-prismatic geometry (not simple mechanical parts).
• Strong understanding of how designs translate into physical products.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to geometric detail.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative development environment.
• Effective communicator in technical discussions and design reviews.
• Willingness to engage in hands-on testing and fieldwork.

Nice To Haves

• Experience designing fiberglass (FRP) parts and their associated production tools.
• Familiarity with tooling, molds, or fabrication processes.
• Experience working on large-scale physical products.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping and physical validation.

Responsibilities

• Own the development of complex 3D surface models for waterslide components.
• Create high-quality, continuous surfaces (A-class or equivalent) suitable for large-scale fiberglass structures.
• Develop and refine geometry for long, continuous ride paths and complex transitions.
• Ensure surface quality, continuity, and alignment across multi-part assemblies.
• Design components with a strong understanding of fiberglass manufacturing processes.
• Application of manufacturability considerations such as part splitting, draft angles and flange design.
• Collaborate with fabrication teams to ensure designs are practical, efficient, and production-ready.
• Produce detailed part drawings and technical data packages (TDPs).
• Maintain accurate and organized design evolution documentation within PDM systems.
• Deliver product design documentation through ProSlide’s Product Development Process.
• Contribute across all stages of product development—from concept refinement through to product installation on site.
• Develop and execute test plans for prototype and production components.
• Analyze test results and drive iterative design improvements.
• Participate in design reviews with a focus on technical feasibility and performance.
• Participate in on-site installation and product verification activities.
• Ensure that manufactured components meet design intent and performance expectations.
• Travel internationally as required (up to 15%).

Benefits

• 3 weeks paid vacation
• Company-paid extended health and dental benefits
