Co-op, Technician

Enedym Assembly Technician Co-op (Electric Motors & Vehicles) Enedym is a startup from McMaster University focused on developing electric motor and propulsion technologies. We specialize in innovative switched reluctance motor solutions, aiming to revolutionize energy systems for a cleaner, more efficient future. Join our dynamic team to be part of driving meaningful change towards sustainability in transportation and energy. ---------------------------------------- ABOUT THIS ROLE We are looking for a dynamic, knowledgeable, and highly hands-on co-op student to join our team and play a critical role in building our technology. The candidate will focus on the assembly, integration, and testing of our cutting-edge electric motors and electric vehicle systems. This role is ideal for someone who loves building, tinkering, and bringing new designs to life. You will be a key member of our manufacturing and engineering teams, working directly on prototype and production hardware. You will get an opportunity to have a significant impact on our operations as we scale up. We expect you to be a dynamic team player who is meticulous, safety-conscious, and curious about how things are built. JOB DESCRIPTION Join our team at Enedym as an Assembly Technician Co-op and get diverse, hands-on experience building the future of electric propulsion. This role will focus on the precision assembly of prototype and production electric motors, building and integrating custom wire harnesses, supporting system-level testing, and assisting with our in-house electric vehicle conversion projects. If you have a strong mechanical aptitude, love working with your hands, and enjoy collaborating in a team to build clean energy technologies, we invite you to apply and be part of our growth at Enedym. RESPONSIBILITIES * Perform precision mechanical assembly of switched reluctance motors and their sub-assemblies, following engineering instructions and drawings. * Provide direct hands-on support for electric vehicle conversions, including system layout, mounting of motors and controllers, and integrating Enedym’s components. * Build, route, and install custom wire harnesses and high-voltage/low-voltage cabling systems. * Assist technicians and engineers in setting up and operating test equipment for motor and vehicle validation. * Support the fabrication of brackets, fixtures, and mounting hardware using common workshop tools. * Perform quality inspections on components, sub-assemblies, and final products to ensure they meet specifications. * Work with the engineering team to identify and document assembly challenges, suggesting improvements for manufacturability. * Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workshop environment, strictly adhering to all safety protocols (including high-voltage safety). * Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives on the shop floor. * Collaborate with team members to troubleshoot and solve build or integration problems as they arise. REQUIREMENTS * Currently enrolled in a Mechanical, Mechatronics, Automotive, Electromechanical, or skilled trades (e.g., Millwright, Automotive Technician) post-secondary program. * Strong mechanical aptitude and excellent hands-on skills with a variety of hand tools, power tools (drills, grinders, etc.), and workshop equipment. * A passion for building, assembling, or repairing complex systems (e.g., automotive work, robotics, machine assembly, personal projects). * Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and electrical wiring diagrams. * Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work. * Experience with wire harness assembly, connector crimping, and soldering is a strong asset. * Understanding of and commitment to a safety-first culture, especially when working with high-voltage systems and rotating machinery. * Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with technicians and engineers. * A proactive, "can-do" attitude and a strong desire to learn. A NOTE ON EXPERIENCE We realize that the requirements listed here are broad for students. We value individuals who can problem-solve and are eager to learn. If you find
