The posting

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

(version française ci-dessous)

We are seeking a Sr. Mechatronics Designer and/or Robotics Specialist to join Xona’s spacecraft hardware development team in Montréal, at the historic RCA Victor Building in St. Henri. In this role, you will support the design, development, and testing of electro-mechanical systems such as those that enable spacecraft attitude determination and control and improve power performance.

You will work closely with mechanical, electrical, systems, avionics, and software engineers to help develop high-reliability electromechanical hardware for satellite flight systems. This is a hands-on role involving both electrical design and laboratory testing, with opportunities to contribute throughout the development lifecycle from early prototyping, through spacecraft integration and test and into full scale manufacturing.

What You’ll Do

- Own subsystem design authority for assigned hardware, including requirements decomposition from spacecraft-level specs.

- Support the design and development of electro-mechanical subsystems for spacecraft system hardware, with a focus on dynamic mechanical systems and electrodynamic systems (i.e. stator design and modelling).

- Collaborate with mechanical engineers on integrated rotor/bearing/housing designs, ensuring electrical and mechanical interfaces are co-optimized.

- Assist with electrical design, sensor interface circuits, and power conditioning.

- Assist with development and execution of test plans for breadboard, engineering model, and flight hardware.

- Troubleshoot and debug electro-mechanical assemblies in the lab and develop a detailed test plan for execution.

- Support integration of hardware with spacecraft avionics and power systems.

- Support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) efforts as subsystems transition from prototype to sustained production, including fixture development.

- Assist with hardware bring-up, verification testing, and environmental test campaigns.

- Support supplier component evaluation and selection for electrical and electromechanical components.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or a related field.

- Experience in leading electrical hardware design and development from concept to MVP and beyond.

- Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium, and mechanical CAD (such as solidworks) for electromechanical integration.

- Demonstrated experience designing motor drives, sensor electronics, or systems for precision mechanisms and robotics.

- Strong understanding of kinematics and dynamics, including the ability to specify, model, design, and test to those bound.

- Solid fundamentals power systems, and motor control principles.

- Hands-on experience with electrical testing and debugging using laboratory equipment.

- Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail.

- Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Desired Qualifications

- Experience with precision robotics.

- Experience with electric motors and high-speed rotary assemblies.

- Experience in electromagnetic compatibility and susceptibility testing and mitigation through design.

- Exposure to spacecraft systems, ADCS hardware, or electromechanical control systems.

- Experience with control or power electronics.

- Experience supporting hardware integration, assembly, or environmental testing.

- Understanding of control systems and application of control theory.

Concepteur·trice / spécialiste principal·e en mécatronique

Lieu : Montréal, QC (présentiel)

Xona est une entreprise spécialisée en intelligence de navigation qui apporte une précision en temps réel à l’échelle centimétrique à tout appareil, partout sur Terre.

Grâce à Pulsar – l’infrastructure satellitaire PNT en orbite terrestre basse la plus avancée au monde – Xona offrira un système de positionnement global évolutif et rétrocompatible, optimisé pour une précision absolue, une puissance supérieure et une robustesse accrue.

Nous sommes à la recherche d’un·e concepteur·trice principal·e en mécatronique pour se joindre à l’équipe de développement matériel spatial de Xona à Montréal, située dans le bâtiment historique RCA Victor à Saint-Henri. Dans ce rôle, vous contribuerez à la conception, au développement et aux essais de systèmes électromécaniques, notamment ceux permettant le contrôle et la détermination d’attitude des satellites ainsi que l’optimisation des performances énergétiques.

Vous collaborerez étroitement avec des ingénieur·e·s en mécanique, en électricité, en systèmes, en avionique et en logiciel afin de développer du matériel électromécanique hautement fiable destiné aux systèmes satellitaires. Il s’agit d’un rôle pratique (« hands-on ») combinant conception électrique et essais en laboratoire, avec des contributions à l’ensemble du cycle de développement, du prototypage initial à l’intégration et aux essais du satellite, jusqu’à la production à grande échelle.

Responsabilités

- Assumer l’autorité technique sur la conception de sous-systèmes assignés, incluant la décomposition des exigences à partir des spécifications au niveau du satellite.

- Contribuer à la conception et au développement de sous-systèmes électromécaniques pour le matériel spatial, avec un accent sur les systèmes mécaniques dynamiques et électrodynamiques (p. ex. conception et modélisation de stators).

- Collaborer avec les ingénieur·e·s mécaniques sur la conception intégrée rotor/paliers/logement afin d’optimiser les interfaces électriques et mécaniques.

- Participer à la conception électrique, aux circuits d’interface capteurs et aux systèmes de conditionnement de puissance.

- Contribuer à l’élaboration et à l’exécution de plans d’essais pour des maquettes, des modèles d’ingénierie et du matériel de vol.

- Diagnostiquer et résoudre des problématiques sur des assemblages électromécaniques en laboratoire et élaborer des plans d’essais détaillés.

- Soutenir l’intégration du matériel avec les systèmes avioniques et d’alimentation du satellite.

- Contribuer aux efforts de conception pour la fabricabilité (DFM) lors de la transition des prototypes vers la production soutenue, incluant le développement d’outillages.

- Participer à la mise en service du matériel, aux essais de vérification et aux campagnes d’essais environnementaux.

- Appuyer l’évaluation et la sélection de composants auprès des fournisseurs (électriques et électromécaniques).

Qualifications requises

- Baccalauréat en génie mécatronique, mécanique, électrique ou dans un domaine connexe.

- Expérience en conception et développement de matériel électrique, de la phase conceptuelle jusqu’au produit minimal viable (MVP) et au-delà.

- Maîtrise d’outils de schématisation et de conception de PCB (p. ex. Altium), ainsi que d’outils de CAO mécanique (p. ex. SolidWorks) pour l’intégration électromécanique.

- Expérience démontrée en conception de commandes moteurs, d’électronique de capteurs ou de systèmes pour mécanismes de précision et robotique.

- Solide compréhension de la cinématique et de la dynamique, incluant la capacité de spécifier, modéliser, concevoir et tester selon ces paramètres.

- Bonnes bases en systèmes de puissance et en principes de commande des moteurs

- Expérience pratique en essais et diagnostic électrique à l’aide d’équipements de laboratoire.

- Excellentes aptitudes en résolution de problèmes et souci du détail.

- Capacité à collaborer efficacement au sein d’équipes multidisciplinaires.

Qualifications souhaitées

- Expérience en robotique de précision.

- Expérience avec les moteurs électriques et les assemblages rotatifs à haute vitesse.
