Job Title:

Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III

Location:

Redmond, WAPay Range: $68/hr what’s the Job?

About the Role:

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 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.

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.
• 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.

What's in it for me?

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.
