Job description

Job Description

An employer is looking for a Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III in the Redmond, WA area. This team designs 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.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.

Skills and Requirements

• 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.
• Strong high-speed digital design fundamentals.
• 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.
• 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.

Ability to read datasheets, reference manuals, and user guides and turn them into correct design decisions. Experience with processor/FPGA/SoC-based hardware design and associated toolchains. EMI and EMC design understanding to preferred qualifications

Scripting for test automation and data analysis.
