WE ARE SEEKING an experienced Electrical Engineer with 8+ years of schematic and PCB design experience to help develop new products. We design hardware and software across many industries, including medical devices, industrial automation, oil & gas, consumer products, and aerospace.

Our designs encompass many aspects of electrical engineering. We are looking for experience in many of the following areas: high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, power, motor control, sensors, and low power electronics. As this is a very hands-on role, this position is NOT eligible for remote work.

You will be working in small teams with other highly skilled engineers and developers to create products and software services for our customers. You should have a proven track record of being able to pick up new tasks and tools and be multi-faceted in your skillset and interests. Expect to be constantly challenged as part of an organization that strives to push the technological envelope in delivering innovative solutions to customer problems.

Sparx is a casual and highly collaborative work environment. Our relatively small team helps us utilize the best of each player on different projects.

Job Responsibilities

Communicate with clients and project stakeholders
Provide practical electronic solutions that align with client budgets and business needs
Provide scope of work, timeline estimate, and level of effort assessments for potential clients
Develop electrical block diagrams and specifications that guide electrical engineers in component selection and schematic development
Review schematic and PCB designs from other electrical engineers, identifying potential issues and offering solutions aligned with customer needs
Troubleshoot and resolve issues in existing designs, including soldering and circuit analysis equipment, while mentoring other engineers through technical challenges
Independently create electrical designs, handling component selection, circuit simulation, schematic capture, and PCB layout
Collaborate with PCB fabrication and assembly houses to ensure the products meet customer quality expectations
Collaborate with software engineers to develop and test firmware

This position requires a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with significant focus in PCB design. Preferred qualifications include:

Strong problem-solving and communication skills (both verbal and written)
Experience interfacing with customers and vendors
Experience creating electrical specifications and electrical block diagrams for potential designs
Experience mentoring less experienced engineers
Experience with Altium for schematic capture and PCB layout
Expertise in creating and simulating numerous electronics circuits
Strong electronics troubleshooting experience
Proficient with precision analog, DC/DC converters, and high-speed designs
Basic firmware development skills (C/C++)
Excellent math skills
Experience designing products for ease of manufacturing
Soldering and reworking PCBs

At Sparx, we move quickly and work on a wide variety of projects. Our engineers are challenged daily and must be able to adapt. Given the diversity of our projects, we are more concerned with your work ethic and your fit than your experience in any specific technology. You will be dealing directly with clients to help them meet their needs in an efficient and predictable manner. You are not the type to sit on the sidelines waiting for someone to tell you what to do next.

We seek problem solvers, not problem finders, and we hold our engineers to a high standard of productivity. There are no "weak links" at Sparx. You will be surrounded by high performers and every member of our team is able to trust each other to get their job done effectively.
