Job summary

Collabera Inc. in Redmond, WA is seeking a Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III focused on digital/high-speed design to own boards from schematic through bring-up and validation.

The role requires hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces, SI analysis, and lab testing; Siemens Xpedition knowledge is strongly preferred; you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive manufacturability and test procedures.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and hands-on digital hardware design experience.
• Ownership of a complex digital board from schematic through bring-up and validation.
• Experience with high-speed memory and/or high-speed serial interfaces.
• Hands-on lab proficiency with high-speed test equipment and a structured debug methodology.
• Ability to read datasheets, reference manuals, and user guides and turn them into correct design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Design complex multi-layer digital PCBs: schematic capture, component selection, and design reviews for processor/FPGA/SoC-based boards.
• Define and constrain high-speed digital interfaces, including pin planning and interface budgeting.
• Own clocking, resets, boot/configuration, and general-purpose I/O for the digital subsystem.
• Perform signal-integrity analysis (pre- and post-layout) and translate results into routing and impedance constraints with layout.
• Partner with layout on routing of dense, high-pin-count devices.
• Own digital bring-up: power-on hand-off, clocking, interface initialization, and link validation.
• Debug in the lab using appropriate high-speed instrumentation and a structured methodology.
• Write and execute functional and interface test plans across operating conditions; document results and drive root-cause of failures.
• Support hardware/firmware/software integration and debug.
• Contribute to manufacturing readiness: design-for-manufacturability/test, bring-up procedures, and documentation.

Job description

Title:Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III (Digital Electrical Engineer — High-Speed Design & Board Bring-Up)

Duration:6 Months (With Possibility of Extension/Conversion)

Location:Redmond, WA

Pay Range:$54 - $57/Hr

Job Description:

We design advanced electronic hardware for demanding applications. We are hiring a digital/high-speed focused electrical engineer to own digital board design end-to-end — from schematic and interface definition through signal integrity, and into the lab for bring-up and validation. Experience with Siemens Xpedition EDM tools is strongly preferred.

What You'll Do:

Design complex multi-layer digital PCBs: schematic capture, component selection, and design reviews for processor/FPGA/SoC-based boards.

Define and constrain high-speed digital interfaces, including pin planning and interface budgeting.

Own clocking, resets, boot/configuration, and general-purpose I/O for the digital subsystem.

Perform signal-integrity analysis (pre- and post-layout) and translate results into routing and impedance constraints with layout.

Partner with layout on routing of dense, high-pin-count devices.

Own digital bring-up: power-on hand-off, clocking, interface initialization, and link validation.

Debug in the lab using appropriate high-speed instrumentation and a structured methodology.

Write and execute functional and interface test plans across operating conditions; document results and drive root-cause of failures.

Support hardware/firmware/software integration and debug.

Contribute to manufacturing readiness: design-for-manufacturability/test, bring-up procedures, and documentation.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) and hands-on digital hardware design experience.

Demonstrated ownership of a complex digital board from schematic through bring-up and validation.

Experience with high-speed memory and/or high-speed serial interfaces.

Proficiency with industry-standard schematic capture and PCB (EDM) design tools. Siemens Xpeditions tool chain experience is strongly preferred.

Hands-on lab proficiency with high-speed test equipment and a structured debug methodology.

Ability to read datasheets, reference manuals, and user guides and turn them into correct design decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with processor/FPGA/SoC-based hardware design and associated toolchains.

EMI and EMC design understanding to preferred qualifications

High-speed memory or serial-interface design and bring-up experience.

Signal-integrity simulation experience.

Experience bringing up embedded processors/SoCs and working alongside firmware/software.

High-reliability or harsh-environment design experience.

Scripting for test automation and data analysis.

What Makes Someone Successful Here:

Comfortable owning ambiguity — driving a digital subsystem from a blank schematic to a validated board.

Bench-strong: enjoys debugging hardware and chasing root cause, not just designing on paper.

Rigorous documentation and clear communication with cross-functional teams.

Benefits:

The Company offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:

• medical insurance
• dental insurance
• vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• life insurance
• long-term disability insurance
• short-term disability insurance
• paid parking/public transportation
• (paid time , paid sick and safe time , hours of paid vacation time, weeks of paid parental leave, paid holidays annually - AS Applicable)

Job Requirement

• Demonstrated ownership of a complex digital board from schematic through bring-up and validation
• Experience with high-speed memory and/or high-speed serial interfaces.
