Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III

Our client is seeking a Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III
to join their team.

Job Title:
Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III
Location:
Redmond, WA

Pay Range: $68/hr.

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.

• 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 digitals 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.
• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Work on challenging, novel electrical design problems that require strong technical judgment and fast, effective execution.
• Collaborate with top engineers across multiple spacecraft design and integration teams, with regular cross‑functional interaction.
• Build real‑world expertise through board bring‑up, system test, design verification, qualification, and root‑cause analysis.
• Contribute to designs that support communities and organizations operating where dependable internet access is limited.
• Develop deeper capability across power, analog, mixed‑signal, and/or high‑speed design areas depending on your strengths.
