Working at the heart of our R+D team your role is designing the electronics for the next 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.
