Full Job Description

About CoLab At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner. CoLab is the AI platform for driving stronger engineering decisions. Every design review in CoLab builds a knowledge repository of design feedback, decisions, and lessons learned - which AI agents draw from to flag issues on future designs before they compound. The more your team works in CoLab, the smarter it gets and the faster you arrive at the ideal design. Companies like Ford, Komatsu, and Johnson Controls use CoLab to catch issues earlier, eliminate rework cycles, and bring products to market faster. Founded in St. John’s, Newfoundland, CoLab has grown quickly from our first customer in 2019 to a rapidly scaling company. We’ve recently been recognized on Deloitte’s Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, and named a Canadian company to watch by The Globe and Mail and Financial Post. About the Role We’re hiring a Mechanical Engineer to help shape the future of engineering collaboration. This is not a traditional mechanical engineering role focused on designing physical products. Instead, you’ll work at the intersection of engineering, software, and customer problem-solving — helping ensure CoLab deeply understands how modern engineering teams actually work. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer teams to bring real engineering context into everything we build. Your job is to help bridge the gap between complex engineering workflows and intuitive software experiences. One day you might be helping a product team understand why a design review process breaks down between manufacturing and suppliers. Another day you could be reviewing CAD workflows with a customer, testing new product capabilities, or helping translate technical engineering challenges into product insights. This role is ideal for someone who loves engineering problems, but also enjoys communication, systems thinking, and working across disciplines. You probably won’
