Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III

Job#: 3045715

Job Description:

Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III

Location: Redmond, Washington (Onsite)

COMPENSATION: $57 - $67 HOURLY

Role Overview

We are seeking a digital and high-speed focused electrical engineer to manage digital board design from end-to-end. This role involves everything from schematic and interface definition through signal integrity, and into the lab for bring-up and validation. The position is for designing advanced electronic hardware for demanding applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design complex multi-layer digital PCBs, including schematic capture, component selection, and design reviews for processor, FPGA, or SoC-based boards.
• Define and constrain high-speed digital interfaces, which includes pin planning and interface budgeting.
• Manage 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 the layout team on the routing of dense, high-pin-count devices.
• Oversee digital bring-up, including power-on hand-off, clocking, interface initialization, and link validation.
• Debug in the lab using high-speed instrumentation and a structured methodology.
• Write and execute functional and interface test plans across various operating conditions, documenting results and driving root-cause analysis of failures.
• Support hardware, firmware, and software integration and debug.
• Contribute to manufacturing readiness through design-for-manufacturability/test, bring-up procedures, and documentation.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent field.
• Hands-on digital hardware design experience, with demonstrated ownership of a complex digital board from schematic through bring-up and validation.
• Knowledge of 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; experience with the Siemens Xpedition tool chain is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on lab proficiency with high-speed test equipment and a structured debug methodology.
• Ability to interpret datasheets, reference manuals, and user guides to make correct design decisions.
• Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with processor, FPGA, or SoC-based hardware design and associated toolchains.
• Understanding of EMI and EMC design.
• Experience with high-speed memory or serial-interface design and bring-up.
• Experience with signal-integrity simulation.
• Experience bringing up embedded processors or SoCs and working alongside firmware/software teams.
• Experience in high-reliability or harsh-environment design.
• Familiarity with scripting for test automation and data analysis.
  
  

What Makes Someone Successful Here

• Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of driving a digital subsystem from a blank schematic to a validated board.
• Enjoys debugging hardware and performing root cause analysis.
• Maintains rigorous documentation and clear communication with cross-functional teams.
