The posting

WE ARE SEEKING an experienced Electrical Engineer with 5+ 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

Requirements

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 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

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Short Term & Long Term Disability
  • Training & Development
  • Free Food & Snacks
  • Wellness Resources

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
