About the Role

We are looking for an experienced CNC machinist to join our team in developing the world’s most efficient piston engines. If you have a background in prototyping and machining with a desire to contribute to building engines of the future, you’ll find an exciting career path working with cutting edge solutions at Intelline. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute substantially to making parts for testing, demonstration, and early customer deliveries of world-first engine technologies.

This position will require in-person work at our Waterloo facility. Must include a resume and portfolio of work when applying.

Salary Range: $75,000-$100,000CAD/yr +stock options.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Certified machinist who holds a General Machinist Certification and Computer Numerical Control Certification (CNC)

  • Must have a Red Seal and Journeyman ticket/Certificate of Qualification (COQ)

  • 5+ years experience in general machining

  • 3+ years experience in CNC machining

  • Ability to read and understand technical drawings in both metric and imperial units

  • Familiarity with Mazak machines and experience programming in Mazatrol

  • Experience programming 3-axis, 3+2 & 5-axis parts with Autodesk Fusion


Responsibilities:

  • Lead prototype machining of components for Intelline's patented valve-in-piston linear engine

  • Create programs for CNC machine using autodesk Fusion and Mazatrol, with CAD data and technical drawings

  • Perform basic daily maintenance and cleaning of in-house CNC machine

  • Maintain clean workspace and machine tools

  • Collaborate with engineering team on design for manufacture and design for assembly

  • Design and implement machining fixtures for a wide range of components

  • Seek efficiency improvements in programming and machining of prototype parts, and make recommendations

  • Adhere to shop safety procedures and participate in safety meetings for continuous improvement of processes and standards



Additional skills to thrive in this role:

  • This is NOT a basic operator role - the successful candidate will be able to collaborate with engineering team members throughout the design and production of prototype parts, and can work independently through programming and operation of the CNC machine

  • Specific experience with Mazak Integrex machines

  • Familiarity with engineering concepts and a desire to participate in the development process

  • Work experience at a startup, or clear ability to take on substantial project responsibilities and quickly produce tangible results

  • Energetic and relentless approach to problem solving

  • Exceptional attention to detail and care for quality of work

  • Strong initiative. A successful candidate will strive for team success in pursuit of the company’s vision and can independently identify task priorities

  • Passion for rapidly solving complex prototyping challenges

About the Company

Intelline is a venture-backed hardware startup based in Waterloo, ON. We make industrial generators that use 40% less fuel, with virtually any fuel type. Our patented valve-in-piston linear engine technology offers unprecedented variability in combustion control, such that our generators can achieve the highest possible efficiency in real world conditions.

We’re developing an engine architecture for standalone power and hybrid vehicle use in multiple sectors (mining, construction, marine, energy, military, and more). Our products will be exposed to a wide range of challenging environments and must produce reliable power for decades, all while minimizing carbon emissions from cradle to grave. It’s complicated, difficult, and important. If this excites you, we’d love to meet you.
