Working at the heart of our R+D team, your role is designing the electronics for the next generation of Naim Audio's world-class HiFi systems and our sister company Focal's speakers. Using your experience with high-complexity digital systems, you will be responsible for designing and implementing electronic circuits that enhance the sound quality of Naim Audio and Focal streaming music systems. The R+D team is cross-functional, and you'll work closely with embedded software engineers, mechanical designers, and test engineers.
From concept to production, you will be involved in the electronics design process, including circuit simulation, EMC pre-scan, prototyping, schematic creation, PCB design, testing, and assisting with manufacturing transition.
Key Responsibilities
* Electronic design: digital circuits (Microprocessors, DSP, FPGA, DAC/ADC), high-speed digital design, power supply design (linear and switched mode), analogue circuit simulation, audio filters, prototyping, and testing.
* EMC and ESD compliance, peer reviews, architecture reviews, feasibility evaluation.
* ECAD Design: schematic and PCB layout (analogue, power, FPC/PCB interconnections).
* System Integration and liaising with suppliers and third parties such as RF design consultants, PCB manufacturers, test equipment suppliers, and custom component designers.
Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise
* Strong electronics engineering background, preferably with expertise in digital technologies (DSP, FPGA), RF (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi), and EMC-sensitive applications.
* Degree in Electronics engineering or similar.
* Experience in designing complex electronics in a commercial environment.
* Knowledge of digital audio systems, high-speed circuit design, FPGA, RF design, analogue electronics, and lab debugging skills.
* Proficiency in ECAD tools like Altium 360, and familiarity with safety and EMC/ESD standards.
* Experience with collaborative tools (Confluence, Jira) and understanding of critical listening in audio design is beneficial.
Benefits
* 24 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service.
* On-site free canteen and parking.
* Enhanced pension, death-in-service insurance, employee discounts, wellbeing initiatives, and training opportunities.
