Mechanical Machine Design Engineer – Rapid Prototyping & Automation
About The Position
Blue Sparq, Inc. is looking for a highly creative and hands-on Mechanical Machine Design Engineer to help invent and develop next-generation automated beverage and food dispensing equipment. This is not a traditional “sit behind a desk and make CAD drawings” engineering role. We are looking for a true builder, inventor, and problem solver — someone who enjoys creating intelligent mechanical systems, rapid prototyping, and developing elegant low-tech solutions to complex automation challenges. You will work directly with the President of the company to create new mechanisms and prototype machines involving beverage dispensing, ice handling, carbonation systems, cup dispensing, label application, and automated food handling systems. This is an onsite position located in Cape Coral.
