CoLab Software

CoLab Software is a Newfoundland-based company that provides a cloud-based Design Engagement System (DES) specifically designed for mechanical engineering teams. Their mission is to help these teams bring innovative products to market faster by revolutionizing how they collaborate during design review. CoLab addresses the inefficiencies of traditional methods, such as relying on emails, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint decks, by offering a platform that centralizes design files, feedback, and conversations, making it easier for engineers, designers, and stakeholders to communicate and make informed decisions together.

CoLab’s product integrates with existing CAD and PLM systems, making it easy for users to access and review designs regardless of their software licenses. Their solution is designed to be frictionless, contextual, engaging, and self-documenting, ensuring all design feedback is captured, tracked, and accessible, eliminating the need for manual record-keeping and minimizing the risk of critical decisions slipping through the cracks. CoLab’s innovative approach is attracting attention in the industry, as they've recently secured funding and partnered with industry leaders like PTC and Xometry to expand their reach and impact.

CoLab Software is remote-friendly and offers unlimited PTO, covering vacation, personal, sick, and bereavement leave. This provides employees with substantial flexibility in managing their work schedule and personal life, allowing them to prioritize their well-being and work-life balance.

CoLab offers employees a comprehensive benefits package that includes health and dental coverage, stock options, RRSP and 401K matching, unlimited PTO, frequent team building events, and a remote-friendly work environment.

CoLab Software's mission is to empower engineering teams to build the future faster by providing them with innovative tools that revolutionize collaboration and streamline design review processes. They believe that engineers deserve better tools to overcome archaic methods of working together, which often lead to inefficient workflows and delayed product launches. CoLab aims to facilitate seamless communication and feedback loops within design teams and across supply chains, ultimately helping companies bring higher-quality products to market faster.

CoLab promotes a culture that prioritizes kindness and respect, fosters an ownership mentality, encourages continuous improvement, and values teamwork. This translates into a supportive environment where employees are encouraged to take initiative, embrace challenges, and contribute to the company's success while working collaboratively with their team members.
