Digital Electrical Engineer

Position Title

Digital Electrical Engineer — High-Speed Design & Board Bring-Up

• 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.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) and hands‑on digital hardware design experience.
• 5+ years of industry experience designing hardware.
• Mandatory 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.

• 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.
