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.

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.
