Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III - Digital Focus

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.
