Working at the heart of our R+D team, your role is designing the electronics for the next generation of world-class HiFi systems and speakers. Using your experience of working with high complexity digital systems, you will be responsible for designing and implementing the electronics circuits that make our streaming music systems sound so good. The R+D team is cross-functional, and you'll be working closely with embedded software engineers, mechanical designers, and test engineers.
From concept phase right through to production, you will be involved in the electronics design process, simulating circuits, pre-scan of EMC rules, prototyping, creating schematics, designing PCBs, then testing and assisting with the transition to manufacture.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
* Electronic design: digital circuit design including components such as Microprocessors, DSP, FPGA, DAC/ADC; high-speed digital design; power supply design, linear and switched mode; analogue circuit simulation and design of amplifiers and audio filters; prototyping and bench testing PCBs and circuits; EMC and ESD; electronics design peer reviews; electronics architecture reviews; design feasibility evaluation
* ECAD Design: schematic design and PCB layout; analogue PCB design; power PCB design; FPC and PCB interconnection design; system integration
* Liaising with Suppliers and third parties: RF Design Consultants; FFC and PCB Manufacturers; Test Equipment suppliers; custom component design; sourcing component samples and liaising with companies for custom sample
Skills and Requirements
* Strong electronics engineering background, preferably with a specialization in modern digital technologies such as dealing with high-speed signals commonly found with DSP and FPGA designs
* Knowledge of RF technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi would be beneficial, as would experience dealing with EMC sensitive applications
* Degree qualified in Electronics engineering or similar discipline
* History of working in a commercial environment designing complex electronics products
* Able to demonstrate depth of knowledge in multiple technical areas related to digital systems such as digital audio systems, high-speed circuit design, FPGA or RF design
* Analogue electronics design experience
* Lab skills such as debugging prototypes in collaboration with firmware engineers and using test equipment such as modern oscilloscopes and logic analysers
* Experienced ECAD user, preferably Altium 360
* Knowledge and ability to design to global safety and EMC / ESD standards rules
* Familiarity with modern collaborative development tools and techniques such as Confluence and Jira
* Experience in the audio industry would be beneficial where critical listening was part of the design process
