Who you’ll be joining:

As a Manufacturing Engineer you will be a key part of new product development and of sustaining device production at ecobee – ensuring the product design team are continually thinking about manufacturability, cost and supply chain from the concept stage right through until mass production. You will be an integral figure, acting as a liaison between our Industrial Design, Hardware, Mechanical Engineering, Product teams and our large global supplier network. You will join a diverse, multi-talented team of fifteen people, with expertise in mechanical engineering, electronics manufacturing and supply chain management.

It's easy to make one cool device. Making one million is the hard part!

How you'll make an impact:

You’ll be organized, driven, and ready to react quickly to the many fast-paced changes of new product development. You must be comfortable dealing directly with suppliers - both domestic and international – as well as bridging the gaps between the many disciplines of ecobee’s internal engineering teams.

This role is perfect for someone with experience bringing high volume consumer products to market, who is interested in making the jump to the fast growing IoT industry.

• Sustaining and improving existing products in production (quality improvement, capacity improvement, cost reductions)
• Responsible for driving DFM activities during all phases of product development cycle
• Ensure prototype builds are scheduled with suppliers & contract manufactures and delivered on time.
• Review prototype assembly and test results and implement design changes to ensure products meet requirements for quality and cost

• Manage the PDM activities for release for prototypes to contract manufacturers and suppliers
• Develop and document assembly/test procedures which ensure product requirements are met and ready for MP handoff
• Ensure manufacturing process is designed to meet requirements for capacity, cost and quality
• Identify manufacturability issues which may have a negative impact on process yields/quality/cost, determine their root cause and take corrective actions
• Travel to Asian contract manufacturers to check that manufacturing processes meet our requirements (around 3 times per year)
• Please note that while many roles at ecobee have the option of being remote, the nature of this role requires you to be hands on and to be in our Toronto office 2-3 times a week.

What You’ll Bring to the Table:

• You have 2-5 years of experience with manufacturing electromechanical products – high volume experience, even better!
• Degree in Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing engineering or relevant experience / education
• Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers to drive schedules, reduce cost and improve quality
• Comfortable driving improvements in designs to improve manufacturability and cost
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize effectively and multi-task in a fast paced, rapidly evolving environment
• Prefer to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to implement solutions
• Bonus points if you have experience in any of the following:
  • Product development / NPI stages of mass production consumer electronics with RF functionality
  • Automated testing of high volume electronics products
  • Working directly with injection moulding, die casting, and metal stamping suppliers
  • Working directly with Asian (China, Vietnam, Malaysia) outsource manufacturers
  • Experience with Python, Matlab for data analysis and automated reporting
