+1 to this. As a senior engineer, one of the big things I've learned is asking good questions, finding who to ask, and having the confidence to do so.

Junior engineers aren't expected to do this alone, your senior engineers should be there to help you as you learn to do this yourself.

For me, it's still a bit intimidating asking questions to people 2+ levels above me, but the biggest thing I've learned is that those people want to help me. For more senior engineers, it's their job to help you: You're not wasting their time.
