Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III - 3046042

Job#: 3046042

Job Description:

Sr. Electrical Design Engineer III Location: Redmond, Washington (Onsite) Role Overview Our organization is seeking two Senior Electrical Engineers, one with a digital/high-speed focus and one with a power focus. These roles involve designing advanced electronic hardware for demanding applications. The positions require end-to-end ownership of hardware design, from schematic and interface definition through to lab bring-up, validation, and manufacturing readiness. Key Responsibilities: Digital Electrical Engineer

• Design complex multi-layer digital PCBs, including schematic capture and component selection.
• Define and constrain high-speed digital interfaces.
• Manage clocking, resets, boot/configuration, and general-purpose I/O for the digital subsystem.
• Perform pre- and post-layout signal-integrity analysis.
• Partner with layout teams on routing dense, high-pin-count devices.
• Lead digital bring-up, including power-on, clocking, and interface validation.
• Debug hardware in a lab environment using high-speed instrumentation.
• Develop and execute functional and interface test plans.
• Support hardware, firmware, and software integration.

Key Responsibilities: Power Electrical Engineer

• Define board power architecture, including rail planning, budgeting, and sequencing.
• Design DC-DC converters, LDOs, and load switches, performing margin and derating analysis.
• Design and analyze the power distribution network.
• Manage power sequencing and supervision.
• Lead power bring-up activities in the lab.
• Debug and characterize power supplies using analyzers, electronic loads, and oscilloscopes.
• Develop and execute power test plans across varying voltage and temperature conditions.
• Contribute to design-for-manufacturability and test procedures for power circuits.

Required Qualifications Education: A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent field is required.

Experience:

• Demonstrated ownership of complex digital or multi-rail board design from schematic through bring-up and validation.
• Hands-on experience in digital or power hardware design.
• Strong fundamentals in high-speed digital design or switching and linear regulator design.
• Hands-on lab proficiency with high-speed test equipment and a structured debug methodology.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Siemens Xpedition, Cadence, or Altium.
• Ability to interpret datasheets and technical manuals to make correct design decisions.

Other Requirements: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with processor/FPGA/SoC-based hardware design.
• Signal-integrity or power-integrity simulation experience.
• Experience with power delivery for FPGAs/SoCs.
• Experience in high-reliability or harsh-environment design.
• Knowledge of scripting for test automation (e.g., Python).
• Experience with thermal analysis and co-design with mechanical teams.
