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

Position Description: Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract opportunity located in Redmond, WA.

Job Responsibilities:
  • 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.

Job Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) and hands-on digital hardware design experience. 5+ years of industry experience designing hardware.
  • 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 Job Qualifications:
  • Experience with processor/FPGA/SoC-based hardware design and associated toolchains.
  • 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.

Job Details:
  • Job Type: Contract
  • Location: Redmond, WA.
  • Pay Rate Range: $60-90/hr.
  • Due to government contract requirements, this position is restricted to U.S. Citizens only.
