Junior Product Engineer

Junior Product Engineer

Position Overview

The Junior Product Engineer is part of MTC Solutions’ Product Application Engineering team, the group responsible for transforming product data and research findings into design tools that enable engineers and designers to specify and apply our hardware confidently. In this role, you’ll translate engineering test data and research outcomes into clear, practical, and user-friendly documentation, including design guides, white papers, catalogs, spreadsheets, and digital tools. You’ll work at the intersection of technical precision and communication clarity, helping engineers across North America design better timber connections with MTC hardware. This position is intended for an early-career engineer who is eager to develop expertise in mass timber design, technical documentation, and product application engineering under the guidance of experienced engineering mentors. The role combines engineering analysis, technical communication, and product application, providing exposure to research, design, software tools, and industry engagement within the growing mass timber sector.

Primary Responsibilities

• Technical Documentation: Assist in creating and updating design guides, white papers, and engineering resources.
• Data Analysis: Interpret test results and research findings under the guidance of senior engineers to produce design parameters and engineering tables.
• Codes and Standards: Apply relevant design standards (CSA O86, NDS,

Eurocode 5, AS/NZS) and document appropriate assumptions and limits.

• Team Collaboration: Work with the R&D team to incorporate data, the Marketing team to refine visual layout and UX/UI, and the Technical Service team to address recurring industry questions.
• Design Tools: Support the development and maintenance of calculation spreadsheets and digital engineering tools (e.g., CADwork plugins or software tools).
• Continuous Improvement: Identify gaps or ambiguities in existing resources and propose updates that simplify the designer experience.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Timber Engineering (or equivalent background)
• 0–4 years of engineering experience
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT), Candidate to the Engineering Profession (CPI), or eligibility to obtain registration
• Basic understanding of design standards such as CSA O86, NDS, Eurocode 5, or similar
• Strong technical writing and analytical skills
• Excellent organization and attention to detail
• Proficiency in English required

Location: Greater Vancouver, Ontario and Quebec.

Salary Range: $70,000.00 to $90,000.00 (dependent on experience).

Who You Are

You are a technically curious and detail-oriented engineer who enjoys bridging the gap

between complex data and practical design solutions. You take pride in clarity, turning

dense calculations into information that others can trust and easily apply. You’re

motivated by collaboration, open to feedback, and thrive in an environment where

engineering, creativity, and communication meet.

About MTC Solutions

MTC Solutions is a North American leader in mass timber connection technology. We

design, test, and supply structural hardware that helps engineers and builders realize

safe, efficient, and beautiful timber structures. Our competitive edge comes from our

technical credibility and our ability to translate complex research into usable design

solutions.

Why Join MTC Solutions

At MTC Solutions, you’ll be part of a passionate, close-knit engineering team that is

shaping the future of mass timber construction across North America. We are small,

agile, and driven by quality. Here, your work has a direct impact: the documents and

tools you create will be used by engineers and designers on real mass timber projects

every day.

Company & Role

The Engineering Department

The Engineering Department is the technical core of MTC Solutions. Its mission is to

generate, validate, and distribute the data and tools that enable our customers to design

with confidence. The department includes two collaborative sub-teams:

1. Research and Development (R&D):

The R&D team drives innovation by developing new products and generating technical

data through research and testing. It supports evaluation reports (ICC-ESR, CCMC),

industry standards, and collaborative research projects with universities and labs. Their

focus is to turn market needs into validated engineering solutions, the scientific

foundation for all MTC products.

2. Product Application Engineering (PAE):

The Product Application Engineering team takes the data created by R&D and turns it

into the design resources used by the building community. This team creates the

documents and tools that define how our products are applied in practice, from design

guides and catalogs to calculation spreadsheets and software integrations. Their goal is

simple but ambitious: make it as easy as possible to specify MTC hardware in mass

timber projects.

Together, these two teams form a continuous loop:

Research creates knowledge → Application turns it into tools → Field feedback drives

new research.

The Junior Product Engineer’s Place in the Team

As a Junior Product Engineer, you’ll be a key contributor within the Product Application team. You’ll receive mentorship and guidance from the Engineering Team Lead, more senior Product Engineers, and Product Development Liaison while developing expertise in product application engineering and technical communication.

You will:

• Interpret data from the R&D team and implement it in design documentation.
• Collaborate with the Marketing and Communication department to ensure the

materials are clear and accessible.

• Coordinate with Technical Service to understand where designers need more

guidance.

• Maintain and improve MTC’s library of design documents so that our hardware

remains the easiest to specify and use in the industry.

The Product Engineer will collaborate with:

• R&D Team: to receive and interpret testing data and technical reports.
• Technical Service: to identify recurring customer questions and close information gaps
• Marketing Communication: to ensure that technical documents are visually

clear and brand-consistent.

• Business Development: to align on industry needs and emerging specifications

trends.

Work Environment

You’ll join a team that is collaborative and highly engaged in continuous learning. The

Engineering Department is known for its attention to detail and its commitment to

publishing only the highest-quality technical resources. You’ll be supported by mentors

and peers who share a common goal: to elevate engineering practice within the mass

timber industry.

Why This Role Matters

Every MTC document and tool represents a promise to the design community: that our

data is accurate, our recommendations are trustworthy, and our products are ready to

perform. As a Product Engineer, you help uphold that promise. Your contribution will

shape how designers interact with mass timber hardware and how our brand continues

to lead in clarity and credibility.
