Job Description
Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer
Salford Farm Machinery was founded in 1978 by Jake Rozendaal, then a recent immigrant from Holland who had a degree in agriculture, with experience on his father’s farm and training as a mechanic and a welder. He seemed to be able to listen and quickly understand what farmers were trying to accomplish in the field. He would then design and create the machinery needed to accomplish the task.
Today, even though Salford is still based in the same location, the company has expanded from its humble roots. Salford has become a global company that markets machinery worldwide. In order to support their expanding distribution network of nearly 300 North American Salford dealers, and keep up with growing demand for their product, Salford has invested in a manufacturing facility in Osceola, Iowa; and multiple parts distribution centers in Canada, the United States and Russia.
Now, more than 30 years later, the original desire to build machinery that does what a farmer needs it to do has not changed. Salford offers cutting edge technologies designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s farmers so they can get the most from their land.
Position/Duties
As a Design Engineer located at the Salford, Ontario Head Office under the direction of the Engineering Manager you will be directly involved in product development and its various aspects throughout the product life cycle process and oversee projects. Design Engineers work collaboratively with a group of Mechanical Designers, Customers, Sales, Service and Manufacturing to accomplish designs from initial concepts to final product. Daily activities include participation in design review meetings, FEA design analysis, hands on product fatigue testing and actual field testing. Creating and maintaining product documentation throughout the design process is also a responsibility. This is a well-rounded position with plenty of opportunities for personal and career growth.
Qualifications:
Accommodations may be requested in advance of the interview process. We appreciate your interest in our company and opening. Selected candidates only will be contacted. No phone calls please.
