Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III (Digital Electrical Engineer — High-Speed Design & Board Bring-Up)

We design 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.

Required Qualifications:

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.
Ability to read datasheets, reference manuals, and user guides and turn them into correct design decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with processor/FPGA/SoC-based hardware design and associated tool chains.
EMI and EMC design understanding to preferred qualifications
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.

What Makes Someone Successful Here:

Comfortable owning ambiguity — driving a digital subsystem from a blank schematic to a validated board.
Bench-strong: enjoys debugging hardware and chasing root cause, not just designing on paper.
Rigorous documentation and clear communication with cross-functional teams.
