Digital Electrical Engineer

Digital Electrical Engineer

Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract opportunity located in Redmond, WA.

Job 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 Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) and hands-on digital hardware design experience. 5+ years of industry experience designing hardware. 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. Ability to read datasheets, reference manuals, and user guides and turn them into correct design decisions. Preferred

Job Qualifications:

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