Description 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 of working with high complexity digital systems you will be responsible for designing and implementing the electronics circuits that make Naim Audio and Focal 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. Key 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, Knowledge and Expertise You are expected to have a strong electronics engineering background, preferable with a specialisation 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, preferable 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. Benefits 24 days holiday, plus bank holidays - increasing with length of service Free canteen Free parking available on-site Enhanced employer pension contribution (4% of gross salary) Death in Service insurance Employee discount on Naim products Wellbeing initiatives, including an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), and discounted memberships at select local gyms Alongside other, standard benefits (for example, training and development opportunities as appropriate to role) About Naim Audio Naim founder Julian Vereker MBE () was a racing car driver, entrepreneur and self-taught engineer with a deep passion for music. Spending his spare time listening to and recording his friends playing live in the 1960s, Julian found that playback on his system at home fell woefully short of the experience he craved. Not content with second best, he decided to design his own amplifiers and loudspeakers, ignoring accepted wisdom and focusing on aspects of performance that made music burst to life. These first designs laid the foundations for a range of iconic and award-winning hi-fi products that would reach well into the next century. This maverick approach to design, backed by over 40 years of engineering and craft, fuels our progress today. Choose Naim to go deeper into your music, for a completely immersive and involving listening experience.
