Job description

WE ARE SEEKING a talented and versatile Mechanical Design Engineer with the experience and expertise to design complex electro-mechanical systems. You'll work closely with cross-disciplinary teams-software, electrical, and mechanical-to develop prototypes and production-ready designs. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on engineering, rapid iteration, and working on diverse projects.

At Sparx Engineering, we develop cutting-edge technologies for a wide range of industries including medical devices, industrial automation, oil & gas, consumer products, and aerospace. We're a small, agile team of engineers and developers who thrive on solving complex problems and pushing the boundaries of innovation. Our collaborative and casual work environment fosters creativity, continuous learning, and technical excellence.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop detailed mechanical designs using SOLIDWORKS
  • Design components for 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding
  • Create integrated electro-mechanical assemblies
  • Produce and review manufacturing and assembly documentation
  • Assist with fabrication using 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum forming
  • Safely operate hand and power tools for metal and woodwork
  • Build and test prototypes of complex systems
  • Troubleshoot and resolve design issues
  • Participate in design reviews and provide constructive feedback
  • Collaborate with electrical and software engineers throughout the development process

Requirements

This position requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering (or a closely related field). Experience in the following areas is also preferred:

  • BS or MS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or related field)
  • Minimum of 3 years of professional, post-graduate experience in mechanical design or related engineering roles
  • Proficiency in SOLIDWORKS and technical drawing (including GD&T)
  • Familiarity with CFD and FEA tools
  • Knowledge of standards such as ANSI, UL (HazLoc), FDA, and MIL-SPEC
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills
  • Experience working with suppliers and fabricators
  • Hands-on experience with 3D printing and CNC machining
  • Basic understanding of electronics and troubleshooting
  • Strong mathematical skills
  • Bonus: Experience with software development

We seek problem solvers, not problem finders, and we have a strong reputation to uphold. We hire slowly and we hire well. Every engineer here is someone the rest of the team trusts to own a problem end to end, so you get to focus your efforts on technical work. In this highly collaborative and engaging environment, you will have the opportunity to work with, and learn from, a talented group of individuals, being exposed to a vast array of different domains and expertise.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k with matching)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick Leave, Holidays)
  • Short Term & Long Term Disability
  • Training & Professional Development Opportunieis
  • Free Snacks & Beverages
  • Access to Wellness Resources
