Senior Electronic Design Engineer - Work from home in Salisbury

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.
