Job Title: Mechanical Engineer Intern - May 2021

At Garmin Canada, we create more than just products - we inspire solutions and innovations that change and shape how we live, work and play. You'll get to work alongside top talent from around the globe while working on cutting-edge technology projects like optical heart-rate, creating sport and fitness products such as Vector and Varia, and enabling compelling ecosystems with Bluetooth Low Energy and the ANT 2.4 GHz ultra-low power wireless technology.

Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, we're located just 15-minutes outside of Calgary in Cochrane, Alberta. A retreat from fast-paced cities - Cochrane allows us to build relationships with the community and focus on what we do best - creating innovative solutions for unique use-cases in the ultra-low power wireless and sport industries.

Here's why you want to work for us.

You'll help bring products to life. Contribute to our exciting portfolio of Garmin products and help us bring our fitness and sport devices from concept to market.
