About this role
Our Electronic Design Engineers work at the heart of our R+D team designing the electronics for the next generation of Naim Audio's world class HiFi systems and, our sister company, Focal's world class speakers. Using your experience of working with high complex digital systems, you would be responsible for designing and implementing the electronics circuits that make Naim and Focal's streaming music systems sound so good. The R+D team is cross functional, and works closely with Embedded Software Engineers, Mechanical Designers and Test Engineers. From concept phase right through to production you would be involved in the electronics design process, simulating circuits, pre-scan of EMC rules, prototyping, creating schematics, designing PCBs, testing and assisting with the transition to manufacture. Electronic design; - Digital circuit design including components such as Microprocessors, DSP, FPGA, DAC/ADC, Ethernet, DDR memory (non-exhaustive list). 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. Selection of electronic components for long-term application (long term reliability, extended lifespan, long term availability) which are compliant with the environmental compliance standards such as RoHS, REACH (non-exhaustive list). Design for Manufacturability and Serviceability (DFM & DFS). Assess the latest technologies – Keeping up to date with the state of the art. ECAD Design: Schematic design and PCB layout.
