Electrical PCB Design Engineer - Sparx Engineering

WE ARE SEEKING Electrical Engineers with 3+ years of experience in PCB design to develop new products. We design hardware and software across many industries, including medical devices, industrial automation, oil & gas, consumer products, and aerospace.

Our designs touch every aspect of electrical engineering. Experience in high speed digital, precision analog, RF, power, motor control, sensors, and low power electronics is desired. 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

• Detailed electrical design, including component selection, circuit simulation, and schematic capture
• Implement schematics and PCB layout per customer requirements and best design practices
• Troubleshoot and fix issues with existing designs
• Participate in design reviews to review other engineer’s designs
• Work with manufacturers to fabricate and assemble PCBs
• Hands-on testing of PCBs and electrical systems
• Collaborate with software engineers to develop and test firmware.

Requirements

This position requires an Electrical Engineering BS or MS with experience in PCB design. Experience in the following areas is also preferred:

• Experience with Altium for PCB Design
• Experience in troubleshooting electronics
• Experience with precision analog design
• Experience with DC/DC circuit design
• Experience with high speed digital design
• Strong problem solving and communication (verbal and written) skills
• Firmware development (C/C++)
• FPGA development (Verilog, VHDL)
• Excellent mathematics skills
• Experience interfacing with internal/external customers and vendors
• Design for Manufacturing
• Verification and testing
• Soldering and reworking PCBs
• Aerospace experience a plus!

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, on the front line, 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.
