manufacturing technologist
About the company
About Us Win-Shield Devices is a Winnipeg-based company dedicated to advancing personal protective equipment for industrial, medical, law enforcement, and defense applications. Our mission is to deliver world-class protection through Canadian-made innovation, engineering excellence, and uncompromising quality.
Your tasks
The Role This role offers the opportunity to work with a wide range of manufacturing technologies, from CNC machining and additive manufacturing to silicone molding and production line development. No two days will look quite the same. On Monday you might be programming, doing setup and running CNC machine, on Tuesday creating silicone molds, and on Wednesday designing fixtures for a new assembly line. You'll work closely with our engineering team to transform designs into functional parts and help develop the manufacturing processes needed to bring our products to market. If you're a recent graduate who's eager to learn, solve problems, and see the results of your work firsthand, this could be a great fit.
CNC machining
- Program, set up, and run our Haas VF-4SS vertical machining centre in 3-axis and 4-axis configurations
- Produce and inspect production parts
- Design and machine jigs, fixtures, and tooling for our own production and assembly
- Turn around one-off and low-volume prototype parts quickly for the engineering team
Additive manufacturing
- Run FDM, SLS, and SLA 3D printing systems
- Prepare builds, choose materials and settings, and handle post-processing
Casting and prototyping
- Make RTV silicone molds and cast urethane parts for prototypes and short production runs
Production systems
- Work alongside our engineers to develop manufacturing processes for new products
- Help design and set up workstations, assembly fixtures, and quality checks
- Document processes so they can be repeated reliably
- Pitch in wherever the shop needs it, including testing support and equipment setup
Requirements
*Eligibility - Due to the nature of this position, candidates must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents and be able to successfully complete a background check.*
Requested Qualifications
- Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering Technology (Red River College Polytechnic or equivalent), or a related technology or machining program. Recent graduates are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Hands-on CNC milling experience: G-code fundamentals, CAM programming, work offsets, tool setting, and safe machine operation
- Working knowledge of CAD/CAM software (Fusion 360 preferred )
- Ability to read engineering drawings and apply GD&T
- Comfortable with precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, indicators)
- Experience with 3D printing in any form (FDM, SLS, SLA preferred)
- Strong mechanical aptitude, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to learn new manufacturing techniques
- Clear communication and willingness to ask questions early
- Haas control experience, 4th-axis rotary machining
- Knowledge of mold making, RTV silicone, or urethane casting
- Experience designing or fabricating fixtures, jigs, and production tooling
- Exposure to quality systems (ISO 9001), lean manufacturing, or process documentation
You'll thrive if you
- Get bored doing the same thing every day
- Learn fast and enjoy picking up new machines, materials, and processes
- Like seeing a part go from a sketch to a finished product in days, not months
- Are comfortable with priorities that change, sometimes mid-week
- Take ownership and want your work to matter
This probably isn't the right fit if you want a fixed routine, a narrow job description, or a large-company structure.
