Hours of work:	37.5 hours per week.

The Role

As part of the R&D design team your role is to work on the electronics and FPGA firmware design of new products. As a well-rounded engineer you will bring experience in multiple domains to the design team. With an electronics background and proven FPGA design experience you will work in a multi-disciplinary team from the concept through to manufacture stages of the design process. The electronics aspects you will work on will cover architecture, schematic and PCB design. On products that use FPGA technology you will own the architectural design and all aspects of implementation, prototype test and validation. Depending on your engineering background and project demands there may also be scope for working on DSP software or embedded software running on both bare metal and embedded Linux. Working alongside the other electronics engineers and the embedded software team you will be collectively responsible for ensuring the audio performance of future products matches and exceeds the high standards demanded by our customers. A background in audio, video or broadcast is highly desirable and personal interest in audio is a must.

Main Duties and Responsibilities
