A Winnipeg-based noise control engineering firm — designing and fabricating silencers, acoustic enclosures, and related systems for commercial HVAC, industrial, power generation, and data centre applications — is adding an Applications and R&D Engineer to its technical team.
This is the first hire into a newly created Applications and R&D function — a dual mandate of sales-facing application engineering and hands-on R&D support. The company is expanding rapidly, and this role carries genuine long-term potential: to grow a team, build out a Winnipeg-based testing lab, and become a recognized technical authority in the noise control industry.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:
*Serve as a technical resource for the sales team on application engineering – analyzing systems, completing duct path and pressure loss analysis, and selecting appropriate nose control solutions (silencers, barriers, enclosures, acoustic louvers, and more) across commercial HVAC, industrial, and power generation applications.
*Support custom and technically complex projects, including direct client interaction and hands-on problem solving at the application level.
*Advance the company’s R&D and testing program: design test specimens, coordinate their fabrication, oversee data acquisition and analysis, and help translate test results into improved products and methods.
*Perform computer modelling (CFD, FEA and other simulation tools) to support physical testing, product development, and engineering analysis.
*Develop proficiency in the company’s proprietary acoustic analysis and selection software, and contribute to its ongoing improvement.
*Prepare detailed CAD models using Inventor, acting as a project coordinate for specimen builds and related fabrication activities.
*Interpret architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings and specifications to support product selection and custom solution development.
*Travel periodically to the company’s dedicated testing laboratory for hands-on lab work; undertake field visits to customer sites (primarily U.S.-based, years two to three).
*Build relationships across sales, design, and project management groups – proactively gathering information and translating technical complexity into practical, manufacturable solutions.
*Grow into a leadership role within the expanding group, including mentoring future hires.
EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS:
Required:
*Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, technology, or a closely related discipline.
*5-7 years of progressive engineering experience in HVAC, industrial systems, acoustics, or a related environment or manufacturing field.
*Demonstrated proficiency with 3D modelling tools – Inventor experience is a strong asset.
*Solid background in data analysis with experience working with instrumentation in lab or field settings.
*Genuine hands-on aptitude – the ability to visualize how something gets built, not just design it on screen.
*Strong communication and presentation skills; comfortable presenting technical findings to clients, sales teams, and internal stakeholders and leaving a lasting impression.
*Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent requests, prioritize effectively under pressure, and make sound decisions with incomplete information.
Assets:
*Background in acoustics, noise control, or vibration engineering – an applied acoustics background is a significant advantage.
*Experience with CFD and/or FEA modelling tools.
*Familiarity with ASTM, ISO, AMCA, or ASHRAE noise control standards.
*Experience in power generation environments, industrial HVAC (including high-temperature or underfloor air applications), or data centre projects.
*P.Eng. designation or active pursuit of licensure.
*Programming or scripting skills relevant to data analysis or simulation workflows.
WHO WILL SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:
This role suits someone who does not get overwhelmed when five requests land at once — who triages, seeks out information proactively, and listens carefully enough to identify the real problem underneath a casual question. You are technically grounded, credible in front of clients, and motivated by the prospect of building something, not just filling a seat.
