What we do

At Myant, we are creating the world’s first expressive and continuous digital presence platform, enabled by integrating technology directly into clothing and augmented by other devices, wearables, and IOT. We see the evolution of society where every member gets to participate from anywhere and anytime through a whole-body experience, mostly in a passive or ambient manner to foster ubiquitous accessibility. Humans have a fundamental desire and need to be connected to our environment, family, community, and technology. This level of connection will create a paradigm shift in the way we deal with each other, especially from afar, allowing for more meaningful relationships, and more in-depth representation of ourselves.

The need for this type of connection is not new. There are many companies working on ways to connect humans in singularity with technology, however most of these technologies are based on devices that are often used in episodical ways hence, leading to poor adoption or reliability. In general, innovation and technology have delivered significant benefits for many members of society. However, there are those who are left behind, namely the very young, the marginalized, the old and the sick. The challenge of inclusion for those left behind requires us to move beyond device focused strategies, towards an interface that we use naturally, every day. We believe that textile is that primary interface, used in clothing, coverings, carpeting and more, we wear and are surrounded by textiles universally, always.

Such an interface could fuse data with other devices that we use periodically and data with other IoTs in the environment. People could then leverage their physical presence over their digital presence to communicate and share personal wellbeing. This could unlock healthcare that is proactive and preventative, social connectedness that is more profound, enable care distribution models to be seamless and on demand, better fitness insights, safer working environments and more.

The vision for SKIIN -our first consumer-facing brand- is to enhance human ability through connected clothing and textiles. Skiin is in beta-phase market launch and has been recently granted Health Canada medical device license and submitted to FDA for regulatory approval in the US market. The sensors and actuators embedded within our apparel create your Digital Identity, which will be consumed by those who matter to you - your family members, physicians, trainers, other IoT devices - without you consciously having to think about it. The line between the digital and physical world is becoming increasingly blurry and we believe textile is the next medium to bridge that gap.

We are a multi-disciplinary technology team solving big challenges at the intersection of electronics, deep tech., software, design, advanced manufacturing, and data science.

About Myant:

At Myant, our mission is to help people Live Younger, Longer by transforming healthcare from episodic, reactive care to proactive, preventive health management. Through our pioneering connected textiles and continuous monitoring technology, we bridge the gap between individuals, their families, and healthcare providers—creating a world where quality healthcare is more accessible, personalized, and preventative.

Powered by extensive, multidisciplinary R&D, Myant combines expertise in textile science and computing, biometrics, AI, and clinical research to develop technologies that seamlessly integrate into everyday life. Our innovation engine continuously expands the platform’s capabilities, addressing cardiovascular health, stress management, sleep optimization, and more.

With global ambitions, Myant is building a worldwide presence—collaborating with healthcare systems, clinics, researchers, and partners to set a new standard in connected health. Our goal is not just to improve care, but to fundamentally redefine the relationship people have with their health, shifting the focus from sick care to lifelong wellness.

By combining cutting-edge biometric sensing, AI-powered insights, and evidence-based behavioral coaching, Myant helps individuals and healthcare teams work together to prevent disease, optimize wellness, and unlock healthier, longer lives.

Role Overview:

The Senior Mechanical Engineer is responsible for leading mechanical design, prototyping, supplier engagement, and manufacturing transition activities for Myant’s wearable and sensing platforms. The role combines hands-on engineering, supplier collaboration, and product development leadership to ensure innovative concepts are translated into robust, manufacturable products.

Responsibilities:

Mechanical Engineering & Product Development

Lead mechanical engineering design and development for wearable and textile-integrated technologies.
Develop mechanical systems and components supporting biometric sensing platforms and smart garments.
Guide projects from concept through prototype, validation, and production readiness.
Mentor and support other engineers in mechanical design best practices and engineering standards.
Define and maintain documentation and standards required for outsourced mechanical assemblies.

Design & System Integration

Design mechanical components and assemblies using modern CAD tools.
Conduct design reviews and ensure alignment across engineering teams and stakeholders.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, firmware, electrical, software, textile, and industrial design to ensure effective system integration.
Support the assembly, integration, and debugging of prototypes and development systems.
Develop test plans and validation strategies for mechanical systems.

Manufacturing & Supplier Collaboration

Support the transition from rapid prototyping to scalable mass manufacturing.
Identify, evaluate, and onboard suppliers and manufacturing partners.
Develop technical statements of work and collaborate closely with suppliers to meet manufacturing requirements.
Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT) principles to product development.
Prepare procurement documentation including RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs and support supplier negotiations.

Outsourcing & Production Execution

Manage supplier relationships and coordinate outsourced mechanical manufacturing activities.
Ensure external partners meet required quality, cost, and timeline expectations.
Support internal procurement processes including purchase requisitions for engineering development.
Evaluate supplier performance against procurement and technical requirements.

Quality & Product Validation

Ensure mechanical designs meet performance, durability, and regulatory standards.
Develop and implement testing strategies including:
- Stress and durability testing
- Waterproofing and environmental validation
- Wearable device reliability testing
Support product validation aligned with applicable standards such as ISO and medical device frameworks where applicable.
Work closely with quality and regulatory teams to ensure product compliance.

Qualifications:

Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline.
9+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, preferably designing consumer electronics, wearable devices, or medical technologies.
Proven experience developing products from prototype through mass production.
Strong hands-on design experience using 3D CAD platforms such as SolidWorks or Onshape.
Experience with rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and precision machining.
Expertise applying Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to injection-molded components and plastics.
Experience with material selection, tolerance analysis, and technical drawing interpretation.
Familiarity with manufacturing processes including injection molding, overmolding, and two-shot molding.
Experience working with contract manufacturers (CMs) including tooling development and assembly line setup.
Experience developing and executing mechanical validation and test plans.
Ability to independently make engineering decisions and provide technical recommendations.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced product development environment.
Experience in wearable technologies, smart textiles, biometric sensing systems (ECG, EMG, EEG), or medical device development (IEC 60601, ISO 13485) is considered an asset.
